Vegetable flan with mashed potato quinoa and lentil base with salad

Hi everyone,

Here's the flan I made with mashed potato and cooked quinoa and lentils and this shows how well it slices when cold.

I ran out of milk so I nipped up to my local corner shop and bought local fresh milk in a bottle plus fresh lettuce and walked home the forest path as I don't walk past any houses and can come out opposite my home so it was OK. I was very apprehensive about going out as it was so nice but saw very few people which was reassuring.

I think that we have to look at alternatives in situations and make gluten free quiche bases like this so take care stay safe everyone and enjoy this smashing weather. 🌞

Here's the flan with recipe:

This looks and sounds fantastic! I will try to get a chance to do this one in the next few weeks.😀👍 Thanks for posting the recipe.😀👍

Hey thanks Leah, and it's gluten free with quinoa so a good choice as you can keep the potato and carbs down. 👍😀

Your flan sounds lovely Jerry, I am impressed you have mamanged to source the ingredients - very well done 😁 I know what you mean about feeling apprehensive about going out. There is a heavier police presence near us now

Thank you Debs, I tend to keep a stock of dried GF foods as they are here one day gone the next so for once it's worked in my favour.

Stay safe now and you can always rustle up a vegan pudding to cheer yourself up. 😊

Sadly not Jerry, although I do have a Vegan magnum in the freezer 😁

A lovely flan and salad Jerry.

It is strange going out with so little traffic on the roads but that is a good thing. I steer well clear of people if I see them. I don't like shopping in the supermarket at the moment.

Thanks Alicia I enjoyed it.

I'm going to use the corner shop I walked up to as they have a small range of fresh fruit and veg and that'll do me for the time being with this now escalating.

What a good idea Jerry and unfortunately our corner shop has very little but I'm going to start asking people to keep their distance in the store if I think they are getting too close. We're all in this together

For the time being, we are going to be ordering a lot of our food and other supplies online since a lot of what we want is not in stock at the local store by the house.
