YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Perk up the picnic Marina Filippelli s refined picnic recipes By Marina Filippelli - May 22, 2022 Refined outdoor dining is guaranteed with Marina Filippelli’s delightful dishes. Asparagus & gruyère tartlets These are so quick to make, especially if you buy ready-rolled pastry. The recipe makes four tartlets, which would satisfy two people if you’re not serving much else. If you’re eating them as part of a larger spread, one tart per person will be plenty. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Courgette chickpea & feta salad Delicious warm as a light dinner or at room temperature when on a picnic. The beauty is that the flavours get better the longer it sits. I like to eat it with some peppery wild rocket leaves, served on the side (keeping it separate stops the leaves wilting on the way to the picnic). Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Grilled aubergine sandwiches with caper olive & herb salsa Silky soft marinated aubergines are one of my favourite things – that and salsa verde, which this salsa is a variation of. I could eat this combination every day and never tire of it. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Roasted squash & onion frittata Squash, red onion and coriander is one of my favourite flavour combinations. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Classic scotch eggs The quintessential British picnic snack. I like to keep my egg yolks a little runny, which means the shelled eggs will be quite soft, and may be tricky to handle when putting the scotch eggs together – but I hope you’ll agree it’s worth the extra effort. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Labneh dukkah salted cucumber & radishes Dukkah is an amazing flavour booster that can inject wonderfulness to pretty much anything it touches. The recipe makes more than you’ll need, so store any leftovers in a jar to stir into salads, scatter over chicken before roasting, serve with olive oil and bread or simply snack on straight out of the jar when nobody’s looking. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Blueberry & raspberry loaf cake No cake is easier to pack for a picnic than a loaf cake. This one has a light moist crumb and a lovely crunchy top. Serve on its own, or with a thick Greek or coconut yogurt. Laura Edwards GET THE RECIPE Passionfruit coconut & lime batida This drink is adapted from the Brazilian cachaça cocktail, which is traditionally made with either passionfruit, limes or coconut. Make it in a large screw-top jar or bottle with a wide enough opening for the ingredients to go in easily.
