Recipes From The Kitchen At Bag End

2 big (red) peppers
4-6 spring onions (but other onions will do too)
2 tablespoons olive oil
150 grams feta, in dice
15 grams of freshly cut Italian herbs (you can also use dried ones, but you have to use less, because they have a stronger taste)
400 grams peeled potatoes
200 grams grated cheese
olive oil.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade. Cut peppers lengthwise. Remove the seeds but leave the stem. Blanch them for 4 minutes. Drain in a strainer.
Heat tablespoon olive oil in pan and lightly fry onions.
Make mashed potatoes (with a little milk and butter), mix 125 gram grated cheese through the potatoes. Add (spring) onions, herbs and feta.
Fill peppers with the mashed potatoes, top with grated cheese and a few drops of olive oil.
Put peppers in oven for about 20 minutes.

You can eat it with brown French bread. It will serve about 4 people, but it depends on how much they eat.


Very tasty idea by ansothehobbit add mushrooms to the onions and fry together, add to the mashed potatoes and follow the rest of the recipe.

Eet smakelijk (enjoy your meal) :)

While I was preparing dinner I thought it could very well be something Hobbits would eat. So I decided to post it here.


Ingredients for two persons
500 grams chicory
8 slices of ham
100 grams grated cheese
crumbled zwieback (I hope this is the correct translation; I mean double baked bread) but I guess you can also use breadcrumbs
a little butter or olive oil

Preheat the oven to 220 Celsius. Mix the grated cheese and the crumbled zwieback.
Remove the outer leaves of the chicory and take out the hard and bitter core. Blanch the chicory for a couple of minutes. Take the chicory out of the pan and roll them into slices of ham and put them in an oven dish. Put the grated cheese on top of the ham-chicory rolls and put some butter or olive oil on top of that. Heat in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. I always eat it with mashed potatoes.
