Lemonchilli marmalade: first taste test

Last night's meatfree Monday was all about flavour combinations. The first with the Lemonchilli marmalade I made on Sunday.

I had also not properly planned supper (except for the remains of the ratatouille quiche), and wanted to try something.

This is what I did: roasted sweet potato with cumin, daikon (some of my bartered loot) with slivered almonds and some rosemary leaves. I par boiled and steamed some broccoli (leaving the stalks long). All served with a blue cheese and lemonchilli marmalade.

Guess what?

It worked!

The chilli flavour infuses the marmalade beautifully and when you hit either skin or a seed, there is an extra pop of flavour.

Now to try it with other things, like cheese, fish, chicken, etc., and get feedback from my peeps.

Be warned: lemonchilli marmalade spam forthcoming.

PS for my vegan friends, either lose the cheese or substitute with a sharp, salty vegan alternative.

PPS I am tagging my blogpal Hive account@steelthong: if you can find a way for me to get a jar to you, or if you could collect 🤭, there is a jar with your name on it. Perhaps you'd join my peeps in my informal focus group?

Until next time, be well
