Today i became a tenant of an allotment after just 11 months on the waiting list and im really looking forward to growing some of my own greens like purple sprouting broccoli, kale and spinach. This recipe for breakfast or a light supper from Diana Henry will put them to good use.
A Spanish chicken recipe from ” The Flavours of Andalucia” by Elizabeth Luard 1991
I used to eat chicken a lot more often than i do now, and would frequently turn to Nigel Slaters cookbooks for inspiration when i wanted to do something simple and quick. This is from his book ” Real Cooking” 1997.
This is adapted as a main dish for two from a recipe for “Sweet and Salty Tahini Crunch Greens” in Anna Jones’s brilliant cookbook ” A Modern Way to Eat” 2014. She suggests serving it as a side but i liked it on its own.Its a great way to incorporate kale into your diet but you can vary the vegetables according to the season. For people like me who are adopting an increasingly vegetarian diet her book is really inspiring. She lives locally to me too so i should not have too much difficulty sourcing any more unusual ingredients.
