Does anyone have any great recipes for picnics

 

Thank you

This is my favourite.................

 

Get a good thick crusted round loaf,one of those rustic ones. Cut off the very top & hollow it out so there is about 1cm of bread left in it all around.

Then brush the inside & the bottom of the 'lid' with good olive oil.

Then fill with a thin layer of nice salami,layering with thinly sliced mozzerella,chargrilled peppers or sundied tomotes from a far,basil leaves,more salami - really pack it in

Pop the lid back on,wrap really tightly in foil then put in the fridge overnight.

The next day it will slice really well (if its packed well enough) & is just gorgeous.

I have also made it in the morning for an afternoon meal.

 

You can use whatever you like to fill it,but the above combo is the best I have found.

Oh that sounds delicious Sarah! I shall add that to my picnic list.

 

When we go on picnics I usually take crudities with various dips, some meats, pate, brie with French breads and grapes, sometimes make Bang Bang chicken (chicken in a satay sauce over matchsticks of cucumber and carrots) or chicken tikka, sausage rolls always go down well, potato salad.

.....it is delicious

 

You can also do a tuna Nicoise version with hard boiled eggs,or even do smaller individual ones to each persons taste...my veggie daughter has her own one with no meat.

 

Cheese straws too - picnics need home made cheese straws. My favourites are with blue cheese & Pancetta slices...a Hairy Bikers recipe I think

I'll have some of what you're on

 

I always make this for picnics - it's basically quiche without pastry......from an ancient Sharwoods booklet.

 

Coral Cushions

50g butter

75g sliced mushrooms

2 potatoes, diced

100g peas (defrosted if frozen)

4 eggs, beaten

5 tbsp milk

1 tsp Sharwoods Tandoori Spice Mix

2 tsp dried mixed herbs

 

Saute onions in butter, add mushrooms, potatoes and peas, cook until soft.

 

Beat eggs, milk and spices together, add the slightly cooled vegetables.

 

Pour into a buttered dish and bake for 30 mins. 190C, Gas 5

 

Cool then cut into squares or wedges.

 

Serves 8 (or 4 as a main course with extra veg and salad)

I decided to make Picnic Loaf this week, & thought I would post a hopefully inspiring photo of it.

It was delicious - perfect summer food

I made Sarah's picnic loaf this w/e and can confirm it is very nice. I remember my mum hollowing out a loaf and making something like this when I was a child ie. early 70's. Can anyone else ?
