So today, we went to a friend's place for lunch. She made delicious corned beef and veggies, and I took dessert. I was so excited to go visiting (yes this is the friend with the pet piglet) that I ran out of time to do anything fancy, and so channeling my inner Nigella, I whipped up a delicious Strawberry and Apple Crumble. And, it was as amazing as the piglet and Nigella put together. (Pigella)
a punnet of strawberries, (you could use raspberries or blackberries?)
3 apples (doesn't matter what kind - but I don't cook with what I wouldn't eat/drink as is.)
1/2 cup of plain flour,
1/2 cup rolled oats (quick oats are fine!)
3/4 cup of sugar (raw or brown)
2 big tablespoons of margarine (or butter - but margarine rubs in better as it's already soft.)
Method:
1.Peel and stew your apples, and throw the strawberries in at the last minute, just to soften them.
2.Rub the margarine in with the dry ingredients.
3.Add the fruit (strained) to a baking dish and sprinkle dry mixture on top. (I put a fanned strawberry on top for aesthetics)
4.Bake in a moderate oven until the top is golden brown - the strawberry on top is a good indication as to whether it is ready... slightly shrivelled, but not burned, and not raw.
Serve with ice cream or cream - it is so tasty, and you can cut back on the sugar if the strawberries are sweet, but at this time of year, I like to add it...
Happy eating pets.
