This one is too easy (and super healthy!) Whenever I get home from the office late (which can be often due to many clients in London which need attending to..) I always reach for the cous cous. 1 to one ratio of grain to boiling water in a sealable plastic Tupperware and let sit for 3-5 mins. Fluff with a fork & add some salt and pepper.
Toppings can be just about anything! From left over casserole/curry to what I did tonight. A few roasted chopped veggies with some light olive oil, salt and pepper, rosemary and a squeeze of lemon juice.
For reference, I used:
1/2 Red Onion (broken into chunks)
3 small cloves of garlic (sliced)
1/2 Red bell pepper
1/2 Zuchinni
Handful of sweet cherry tomatoes
1/2 can of 4 bean mix (rinced and drained)
Chopped into chunks and threw into an oven proof dish. Baked for approx. 15/20 mins and DING! Dinner is served.
Ended up making 3 large serves (4 medium serves, but I was starving...) Which is perfect as I told a friend at work I would shout a home cooked lunch!
One serve for dinner. One serve for her and one for myself again tomorrow for lunch.
Haven't even put a dint in the fridge full of veggies I have from the markets!
I wonder what I should make tomorrow...
How wonderful. That I am lucky enough to live in a city with such amazing fresh produce and enjoy pleasant conversation with knowledgable farmers!
A wonderful Sunday. Dragged my mamma and boyfriend to the Fresh Food Farmers Markets in Brisbane (Mt Gravatt Showgrounds) and managed to secure this bountiful bundle of fruit for a measly $23! (can you believe it!?) Recipes running through my head as I wander the o-so-packed stalls full of wondrous smelling fresh ingredients (soon to be in my belly).
I am so, excited! Am thinking this gorgeous collection of fruit should last me just over a week maybe.
Need to get to the store to stock up on some quinoa, chia & flax seeds also.
I have some brilliant plans for the figs. (supposed to be $3.99 for 3 Figs but the lovely man gave me 6 for $3! Talk about a bargain..) Thinking gnocchi with baked figs camembert and crispy sage and a fig tart (sugarless pastry of course!) not sure what filing yet but I am certain that if I make one, this blog will hear about it!
I am also thinking those zucchini's red bell peppers, squash, pumpkin and tomatoes will roast beautifully with some fresh rosemary, and some cous cous. Kind of excited to see how many recipes I can make!
'Twas a lovely Sunday..
