I hear there are 42 weeks left in the year. I estimate there to be 9,450 unread (and therefore uncooked) pages of recipe books scattered around our house. So, we’ve set ourselves a challenge:
One new recipe a week, straight outta the books.
Week one has brought on my inspiration, and author of many of the aforementioned books: Ottolenghi, with his recent release Simple. Containing recipes that are either quick-fixes, light on ingredients, use everyday ingredients, time-poor friendly, or a mixture thereof, means many of the next 42 meals are going to be coming from this Bible.
And so we begin with: ‘Bridget Jones’s pan-fried salmon with pine nut salsa’. This one ticked Otto’s boxes of:
- short on time
- 10 or less ingredients
- easier than you think.
In addition to our gold stars that were awarded for:
- Absolute flavour bomb
- Salty, sweet, crunchy, fatty, fresh combo bomb
- Saffron is an expensive lil’ bugger but makes you feel fancy.
All in all: success. 1 week down, 41 to go.
