Not all at the same sitting I have to say

Oh, all right, I'll do a spinach mushroom cheese quiche with healthy canola-oil crust, then.

It's what I serve my mum, and old boyfriends, for brunch. ;)

That sounds good JC....but we have to work together or this lot will eat the LOT

Can we have a rockett salad & a good Modena with that please


You fancy doing it tomorrow and I'll do Sunday's?


Whats Canola oil...is it vegi and is it good for you?

FBG, I had to read that thing sideways and I'm not sure what it's disproving .... hmm ... but I'm *sure* you're right.

Its disproving the name of the father that you said was pretty most likely to be Leslie John??

But its says his fathers name is Albert William...(solicitor)

And you could have tipped your screen sideways to read it properly,thats what I do when sent stuff that arrives sideways..:)

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold 1% milk
1/2 cup canola oil

Hows it compare to normal shorcrust pastry JC?

I dunno. What's Modena? If it's some kind of cheese, no. I don't like cheese, except cooked in things.

What's canola oil?? When my mum and I were travelling around England by train and bus, we were struck by field after field of yellow-flowering something. My mum decided it must be mustard. Yeah, right, enough mustard to feed the world.

So we asked the bus driver on the way to Stonehenge, where there was lots of it growing in the vicinity. He got flustered because he could only remember the old name for it: rapeseed.

What's canola oil. Yeesh.

When it got renamed, it was for Canuckistan, of course!

Just right click Fanny and rotate!!

Ooh...thanks for that. I might try that.

Modena......Balsamic vinegar

It has to be a really good one though, the ones that are about £15 per small bottle please

The cheap ones are just vinegar...ewwe

Hang on...how does the pastry set if you use a liquid fat?

Do you drop an egg in?

Is that my version of the canola oil pastry Ginny? It seems a little different.

I don't use the sugar, of course. Or the salt.

But I'm sure mine calls for - hang on, I have it right in my gmail here - yeah, 3 tablespoons milk.

And because your cups are bigger (but you'll okay with all the rest because they're consistent units -- but you will get a very big pie crust) you should up the milk to 4 tablespoons I think.

I'd do my version, adjusted for you

1 cup flour
1/2 cup canola oil
3 tbsp cold milk

-- edit edit -- try that again

1 cup flour
1/3 cup canola oil
2.5 tbsp milk

-- should be right for English measuring units --

You have to beat the oil and milk together to make it creamy and thick. Then pour it into the flour, right in the pie plate, mix it thoroughly and form it into a crust.

It isn't flaky like a good short crust, but it's quite good all the same, especially for savoury pies. I made chicken leek etc pies with it last week, even managed to roll out lids for it (just patched 'em where they came apart), and they're very good.

No I googled.....it sounds good without the heartburn too but how does it stick together?

Is it due to more flour than oil?

When you beat the oil and milk together, it becomes quite thick and emulsified and all. Try it. ;) It doesn't stick together as well as with shortening, but it works in a preformed thing like a pie plate. You don't roll it out, you just press it into the plate.


I edited the recipe, I hadn't adjusted everything. Think that way should work now.

Why not cook some and find out Gins?
The proof of the pudding and all that??

Sounds a bit like suet pudding pastry...Which you can make with veggie suet Gins...yum..

Me gonna cook Janey recipe tomorrow(for real) ,sounds good..
Steak and kidney I reckon,...one of my favourites.

And inside, I put chopped up cooked chicken, leeks, carrots and mushrooms. And undiluted tinned mushroom soup for mushiness. I wonder what we're having for supper ... got two of those things in the freezer still ...

Where do I get Canola /Rapeseed oil in the sticks in Wales when they seem to export it all to Canuckstan??

Think on it Fan...

Im very good at pastry but I cook it with either butter or solid veg oil....either way JB gets heartburn so I dont bother

Yeah, I will try that and maybe do a meat an spud pie (Quorn)....with mash and peas

Thanks 'sweatpea'.....YIKES.....

Faneeeee...help

Sainsburys...and you can get Grapeseed oil which is very good for you

Are we on 'Grapeseed' oil or 'Rapeseed' Oil - You are getting me confused now you two??
