A wonderful way to use feta from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. Serve with a simplesalad of lettuce and cucumber dressed with lemon, salt and olive oil. It serves 4 as a light lunch .
Cavolo Nero is one of my favourite winter greens and this is a winning way to cook it from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. It goes very well with grilled meat ( if you do) , but is also good piled on to garlic rubbed toast, with or without some ricotta, or perhaps with a poached egg on top.
These Cheesy Curried Beans from Yotam Ottolenghi make a quick and easy brunch, lunch or supper . They are best made with jarred beans but you can also use a tin. A 400g tin gives about 300g beans, so I increase the cream and cheese to take this into account. You could add extra spicing if you like.
A most delicious recipe for pasta using dried porcini mushrooms from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. Make sure you prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking.
A summer favourite from Claire Thomson’s ” Home Cookery Year”. It is best served warm rather than piping hot. Serve with a green salad. You can use the same method and switch around the summer vegetables- baked cherry tomatoes, fried squash or blanched broad or green beans will all work well.
Another delicious vegetarian supper from ” Cook as You Are” by Ruby Tandoh. It can be served with a salad and brad to mop up the juices, or as part of a mezze spread.
