Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Mix the flour, cornmeal and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl, add the butter and rub everything together with your fingertips to create a fine, breadcrumb-like mixture. (Alternatively, do this by pulsing everything together in a food processor.) Stir through the spring onions, feta, parmesan and chilli flakes, then add 220ml of the milk and briskly stir with a cutlery knife to distribute - if it feels a little dry, add the remaining milk. Bring together and lightly knead just so the mixture comes together.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Form the dough into a 25cm round about 2cm thick and lay on the baking sheet. Starting from the centre, cut the scones out into eight triangles, then pull each one around 1cm away from the next. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Put in the oven and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool for 15 mins.
- Beat together the butter, chipotle paste and a pinch of salt. Cut open the warm scones and spread with the butter. The butter will keep, covered, for three days in the fridge and the scones for two days in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, black pepper, Italian seasoning, basil, and sea salt in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- Make room in the middle of the pan and add block of feta cheese. Flip in oil, making sure cheese remains intact and becomes well coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cherry tomatoes begin to blister and split, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Remove feta-tomato mixture from the oven. Mash garlic, tomatoes, onions, and peppers with a heavy spoon and mix with the feta cheese, creating a sauce. Stir in spinach and cooked pasta. The spinach will get cooked from the heat of the pasta sauce and pasta. Add pasta water, a little at a time if needed, to reach desired consistency. Mix well and serve.

SPRING ONION AND RICOTTA FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
A deliciously-different entree adapted from one of my favourite cookbooks: 'The Onion Cookbook: cooking with onions, garlic, leeks, spring onions, shallots and chives' by English chef Brian Glover. Not liking spicy food, when I've made this recipe I've omitted both the chilli and Thai fish sauce, but I've included them here for those who like their food spicy. Instead of the chilli, I add sweet red pepper. If the salsa needs more liquid, add a little more lime juice or lemon juice.

Steps:
- THE SALSA: Peel, stone and dice the avocados. Place in a bowl with the red onion, lime rind and juice. Add chilli, to taste (or sweet red pepper if you don't like spicy food), the tomatoes, mint and coriander. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, sugar and Thai fish sauce (omit this if you don't like spicy food). Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.
- THE FRITTERS: Beat the ricotta until smooth, then beat in the egg and flour, then the flour, to make a smooth, thick batter. Then beat in the spring onions and coriander and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add spoonfuls of the batter mixture to make fritters (about 7.5 centimetres or 3" across) and lightly sauté for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the batter mixture has set and is a golden brown.
- SERVING: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice and/or sugar to taste. Serve the fritters with the salsa and dollops of crème fraiche. Garnish with coriander sprigs and lime wedges.

SPRING ONION AND CHEESE POTATO CAKE, TWO WAYS
This potato cake is a great recipe to build on when seeking to feed a hungry crowd resourcefully, pulling whatever cheese, vegetables or spices might need using up. Here, I've included two variations, one using frozen peas and thyme, and the other using jarred peppers and harissa. You can get as thrifty as you like by making use of what you have: frozen spinach instead of the peas, for example, or some shredded mozzarella to replace the Parmesan. The recipe is yours: Make what you want of it! Serve this potato cake warm with crème fraîche, a squeeze of lemon and a side salad, if you like.

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and top with enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches/4 centimeters. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook until easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes (saving the skins for another use), and transfer them to a large bowl.
- While the potatoes are cooking, add half the olive oil to a large (12-inch/30-centimeter) cast-iron skillet or an ovenproof skillet that is at least about 3 inches/8 centimeters deep. Heat over medium. Once hot, add the spring onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly colored, about 6 minutes. If making with peas, add the peas and thyme; if making with peppers, add the peppers, cilantro and harissa. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper, stir to combine and set aside.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius (non-fan).
- Add the cream, eggs and yolk, Parmesan, preserved lemon, turmeric, half the Cheddar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the potatoes in the large bowl. Use a potato masher to break everything down to a rough mash that is still a bit lumpy. Add the feta and the spring onion mixture and fold everything together.
- Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining olive oil, then transfer the skillet to the oven for about 5 minutes to heat up. Remove from the oven and carefully add the potato mix. Level the top, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar and a few sprigs of thyme, if using, in the center and return to the oven.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/205 degrees Celsius and bake the cake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up before serving. Sprinkle with the extra cilantro, and serve warm, spooned directly from the pan.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spring onions, feta cheese, and herbs will give your noodle cakes the most vibrant taste.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, so that they still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Press the noodle mixture firmly into the pan when forming the cakes. This will help them to hold their shape and cook evenly.
- Cook the noodle cakes over medium heat. This will prevent them from burning.
- Serve the noodle cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. A simple yogurt sauce or a spicy chili sauce would both be great options.
Conclusion:
These spring onion and feta noodle cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover noodles. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
