Quick Cheese Straws {no yeast, no egg}

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!

Mango + Mulberry Quesadilla

Mulberry season hits around this time, and when your hands are tinged beautifully with these purple indigo juices, something beautiful has to come of it! First I made a little sauce with half the mulberries that came my way. A simple coulis with a bit of sugar and salt and some water, simmered down to a thick and chunky sauce. Initially I was planning some kind of cool dessert. But then a luscious crate of mangoes made it’s way towards me and I felt the urge to do something “exponential”. Whole mulberries and mangoes diced and brought together with some bright green spring onions and coriander and some heated kick from jalapenos and chilli flakes sounded like a good idea to me. Normally one would use a bit of lemon juice, but because I love spice, I instead use the brine liquid from the jalapeno bottle. This adds the citric sourness but is infused with the jalapeno hot seeds. At the last minute I added some cheese too – nothing fancy, but good ol’ Amul cheese to bring in some saltiness and of course, bind everything together. This quesadilla will surprise your eaters and the infusion of the senses creates fireworks in the mouth. You don’t need any accompaniments to this quesadilla – the mulberry sauce adds enough juiciness and there are enough flavours to let it stand on its own. Note: You can use whole wheat rotis/chapattis for a healthier and easier version. Photography Credits: You will, no doubt, notice these breathtaking pictures.

Stir the mangoes, mulberries, spring onions, coriander, jalapenos, chilli flakes, salt and lemon juice together. Gently push the fruits together with the back of a fork to squeeze out some of the juices. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. To prepare the quesadillas, first place a non stick pan on high heat. Smoothen out some mulberry sauce first on one tortilla and then add the mango and mulberry filling and some cheese. Cover with the second tortilla. Place the quesadilla on the hot pan and grill for 3 minutes on each side. Cut the quesadilla with a pizza roller into 4 pieces and serve hot.
