I wasn’t planning to post this as you can see from the messy presentation but then I thought ‘why not? This is what food looks like in most family homes.’ A quick Tuesday night supper of penne and a spicy sausage sauce made from @meatpeter’s wickedly good Italian-style chilli and fennel sausages, a leftover leek, half a green pepper, @mevalco’s brilliant tomate frito (basically Spain’s answer to passata) and a good handful of chopped parsley. Really tasty, 20 minutes cooking, 2 portions of sauce left for the freezer. Result. . . . #pasta #penne #sausage #salsiccia #chilli #midweekmeals #homecooking #easyrecipes #giftSo this is one of the best ways of using up leftover cheese should you have any after the weekend. (Hollow laughter from some of you but it happens even in this cheeseloving household.) The French call it fromage fort and it’s basically blitzed up cheese slices (swipe for picture) with garlic, white wine and cayenne pepper or chilli powder. (Click on the link in my bio although it’s a method rather than an exact recipe) Served with crackers and breadsticks it makes a great snack or nibble to have with a glass of wine. And so satisfyingly frugal. . . . #cheese #fromage #queso #fromagefort #cheesedip #leftovers #frugal #homecookingBumper bank holiday bowl of granola with a layer of rhubarb compote, homemade kefir, local Cheddar strawberries, raspberries and @sami_tamimi’s sesame crumble drizzled with a tahini-date syrup which looks - but fortunately doesn’t taste - spookily like Nutella. (From his new book Falastin.) Mug of @hasbean Ana Sora coffee on the side. Reckon I’ll need a BIG walk after this! . . . #granola #sesame ##rhubarb #strawberries #raspberries #fruit #tahini #datesyrup #breakfast #falastin #samitamimiSo last night’s cooking project was Malaga Night, a nostalgic attempt to recreate the lovely food we’ve had there with @thaneeprince and her husband Bob who was acting as sous chef for the evening. Super-garlicky gambas pil pil (sourced from @mevalco and adapted from a recipe in @jose_pizarro’s Basque), a salad of little gem lettuce and anchovies and migas, the addictive fried breadcrumbs in pimenton and garlic spiced panceta I reckon we still have to nail. (Shouldn’t really be as crisp and chunky as this but hell, anything involving bread and pork fat is good in my book). Oh and a fair amount of Major de Mendoza Fulget albarino *may* have been consumed - thanks @sommelierschoiceltd for the sample. (Wrong region I know but perfect with the food!) . . . #malaga #gambas #gambaspilpil #prawns #shrimp ##littlegem #lettuce #anchovies #migas #breadcrumbs #albarino #cookingwithfriends #zoomcooking #lockdownlife Follow on Instagram
