Naughty lil triangles

Ok so I know this would never in a million years be described as healthy but I did promise a photo and recipe for Mum’s delicious Toblerone Cheesecake so I felt obliged to make it myself. The very lovely neighbours were coming in to have a BBQ yesterday and so I decided to whip up the cheesecake for dessert. It’s one of those lovely desserts that takes a few minutes to put together, can be made the day before and makes everyone smile when you produce it at the end of a meal.

For the BBQ we went with something a little different from the usual steaks. While salivating at all the wonderful food in the David Jones Food court with Mum earlier in the week we spotted some wonderful Butterflied Lamb. There were a number of different marinades - we opted for the Moroccan one and it was absolutely wonderful. We roasted it over very hot coals with the lid on for about 30 minutes. I served it up with some crunchy little potatoes that I saw Nigella Lawson making on the TV during the week.

God I really love watching cooking shows on the TV. I was tempted to get cable TV just so I could watch the food channels. But there is a very good chance that I would get nothing else in my life done as I would be glued to the TV all day. While watching Nigella Feasts I liked the look of these potatoes – You cut your potatoes into quarters and then slice the quarters into four little triangular chucks. You spread the potatoes chunks out on the baking tray and add in lots of cloves of garlic (still in their skins). You sprinkle with rock salt and then pour plenty of olive oil over the lot. Bake in a hot over for about 30 minutes. These were very well received at the BBQ and looked great piled up in a big square bowl.

Right so now back to the healthy stuff. The car is off being mended at the moment but as soon as I get it back I’m off to the Fruit and Veg market to stock up on all my favourite healthy goodies.
