Yes obsessed.
Today’s tomato love fest was:
Prep time 5 mins (cooked for hour but doesn’t need any supervision, just gets on with itself)
Smash few garlic cloves, no panic about bit of garlic skin going in, life too short to peel; roughly chop onion, pop into little sizzling pan with chilli oil. Once sizzled, add around 12 halved pomodoro tomatoes, halved stuffed spicy olives, sun dried tomatoes out of olive packet, sprinkle of herbs, salt pepper, shake of bouillon, few drops of hot water, lid on, left to simmer on electric 1 for a while – maybe hour. Then I put in box in fridge over night, took to work next day with some pre-cooked fresh tagliatelle with bit of butter, salt and pepper and at lunch time at work, combined the two and quickly micro’d (hate microwaving good food). BLOODY ACE!
For kids’ lunch while I was out, night before prepped:
Prep time 7 mins
free range chicken breasts, cut into smaller pieces with kitchen scissors, took black bits off new pots, washed and chopped small, ditto long beans, added splash of liquid stock (from shop!) dash of left over white wine (wouldn’t waste the good stuff), sprinkle of herbes de provence, S&P, scattered bit of mint I had left over in fridge, chopped a bit of onion into it (left over from tomato dish, above) and shoved all into casserole dish with foil overnight in fridge. Kids and babysitter then just had to pop dish in over for an hour (pre-heated oven) . I don’t eat chicken but apparently was fab.
What shall we cook tonight?
