Caz

After much chat, here we go...

 

To get the ball rolling I offer up a very Ottolenghi inspired barley salad. Ooh, how I love Plenty.



This was baked chicken & butternut in lemon, maple syrup, red chilli, with wilted spinach with lemon tahini dressing, rice and aduki beans and a cucumber, mint, dill and cucumber raita. The chicken had a real kick so the raita was a medical necessity. 



Of course this was all last week so my memory of what exactly I threw onto what is hazy...this week I'll write it all down. These fantastic smokey Urfa chilli flakes went in - I'll send you some to try soon. Notebook at the ready, promise. Any aduki bean ideas, chuck em my way, do.  I'm back off everything for the next month, so creative veggieness is my challenge while yours sounds entirely more meaty. (Mind you, I thought that since I had cracked last night I might as well have the slow-roasted pork belly at The Eagle today. Delicious.) I've got Maddhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian from the library as my bedtime reading inspiration. It looks great. It's huge. Perhaps I should use that to bash my Ganglion. Over to you now... x
