West African pork and peanut stew with Heartland Dolcetto & Lagrein

Posted on July 20 2015 at 08:48

Quite an adventurous pairing this week which you might have thought on paper wouldn’t come off. A hot, spicy pork and peanut stew and a glass of Ben Glaetzer’s bold, ripe 2010 Heartland Dolcetto & Lagrein from South Australia's Langhorne Creek.

Is there anything better than finding a bread table at a restaurant where you’re allowed to go and choose your bread and butter? Genius idea @josh_eggleton @theponychewvalley. The garden was absolutely gorgeous too. . . . #bread #sourdough #theponychewvalley #chewvalley #somerset #josheggletonIt’s not always the show-off dishes that make a great restaurant but getting the small things right so well done @asador44 for the bread - well actually the best ever sourdough toast both at dinner and at breakfast), the perfectly cooked side of broccoli and the stellar apricot ice cream and sangria sorbet. Also the comfiest bed and the loveliest staff. And no, it wasn’t a freebie. 💯worth your money if you fancy a night away. . . . #sourdough #toast #broccoli #icecream #sorbet #goodfood #hospitality #asador44 #parador44 #cardiffMade the first but what certainly won’t be the last of the recipes from @sami_tamimi’s glorious new book Boustany which is about vegetable-based cooking inspired by his homeland of Palestine. It’s the crushed broad beans with goat’s cheese and preserved lemon salsa. Although he makes it with frozen broad beans and peas which makes it a brilliant storecupboard standby I made it with fresh given both are in season - just the perfect taste of summer. Seems so very wrong that his compatriots can’t eat food like this, and in many cases struggle to feed themselves and their families at all. . . . #broadbeans #favabeans #peas #dip #goatscheese #preservedlemon #boustany #samitamimiForget starters and mains! I could live on restaurants’ ‘snack’ menus these days. Here are 3 from @town.restaurant - the sage fritters, the radishes and the unholy potato sourdough with ‘house gravy’ which might have to go on my Last Supper list. More in this week’s Friday 5 (see link in bio). . . . #snacks #fritti #potatobread #gravy #radishes #townrestaurant #newrestaurant #londonfood Follow on Instagram
