cookbook_challengeFrom my mother's cookbook. Apparently this is from page 70 of the Sainsbury's Vitality Cookbook. Amazon tells me this was published in 1993 so we can safely assume, I think, that this recipe is from the mid-1990s.
Ingredients
2 chopped onions
Tbs olive oil
8 oz broccoli florets.
4 oz cooked ham in thin strips
14 oz can chopped tomatoes
2 oz fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 oz grated parmesan
Method
1. Fry onions lightly for 4 or 5 minutes.
2. Cook broccoli for about 5 minutes and drain.
3. Mix onions, broccoli and ham with tomatoes, season and put in oiled shallow ovenproof dish.
4. Mix breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle over the top.
5. Bake at 200C (fan) for 15 minutes.
Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I made this pretty much as directed - though I steamed the broccoli and I suspect the recipe expected it to be boiled.
Verdict
A simple recipe (albeit one that ends up using quite a few pots and pans). For the effort involved it's probably worth it for a simple everyday dish. I haven't quite decided whether I'd want to make it again though.
