My
husband is not at all keen on vegetarian meals, However, I have made
him a deal. We eat vegetarian once a week and i will cook him roast
lamb once every 2-3 months with the money we save! (We currently have
roast lamb once a year on his birthday!). So last night we had roast
garlic and pumpkin risotto (Annabel langbein).
My
mother-in-law has some River Cottage cookbooks, so tonight we made
roast pumpkin and onions with garlic and cider vinegar, and 'merguez
chickpeas', with a North African dressing of cumin, coriander, fennel,
pepper, rosemary, cayenne and garlic. SUPER YUM. Felt completely
decadent while being all virtuous. Oh and salad too. And much quicker
and easier to make than it looked or maybe sounds.
AND then my
mother-in-law saved some disappointing baked rhubarb from last night by
blending it with custard to make a rhubarb fool for pudding. DOUBLE
YUM. Lucky dinner night!
