Veggie guests.



This is a favourite; and well worth considering if you are inviting veggies for supper.

Its official French title is 'Péquillos farcis a la Brandade de Morue'. 

Small 'whole' bottled red Péquillos Peppers are stuffed with 'Brandade' (a purée of mashed potato, salt cod, olive oil, garlic, s & p), then baked in a 200 C oven for about 30 mins. 

3 or 4 each, with a little salad, makes a substantial, and delicious, meal.

This classic of the Spanish Tapas bars is the perfect standby for when veggies call; as long as, of course, you have access to the bottled Peppers and Brandade (which I buy ready made). 

Bon appétit.

    1. Just two ingredients (if you buy the Brandade ready made), and 30 mins in the oven. It couldn't be simpler, or more delicious.

    2. Brandade isn't available outside France... but a good substitute is an off-the-shelf fish pie mix... or some frozen fish-cakes, just add more salt to make it "authentic"

    3. It's very easy to make from scratch; one doesn't really need salt cod, ordinary cod will do. I've made it like that many times, it tastes exactly the same.

  2. Your photos always look like paintings and are very appetizing, I eat mostly vegetables and I might try it.

    1. These have become a firm favourite; we eat them quite often.

  3. There is a bye-law in the city of Grenada which states that bars must give a plate of tapas each time someone orders an alcoholic drink. The first round we got anchovies. The second was something else. We ended up with a handful of crisps. British drinkers can be expensive.

    1. I wish English bars were like that. All I ever get is a pack of Pork Scratchings.

    1. I expect if he's been to many veggie restaurants, he will have had them already. If not, just give him the name of the recipe.
