Friday Files - a long one

This is how my day began: Rambo, not just on the bed, but contentedly resting on my leg. He remains a bit of a wonder even though he is very settled. He is very much a home body, not straying much beyond (if at all) our property.

Butternut are back in season and roasted, it is very versatile.

This plant-based meal is one of my favourite ways of using it. Even the carnivorous husband digs in with relish.

Roasted and then combined with a lentil, onion and harissa mix and finally with fresh tomato and chopped parsley and coriander.

Now in jars for the McGregor market this morning.

As I know folk will ask for the recipe, I shared it last season and you will find it here.

For some reason, today was all about harissa. I shall have to make more while the peppers are in season as this is the last jar: the others all sold.

Supper in bowls and more harissa. Left overs: chicken and couscous, jazzed up with peppers, onion and shredded baby spinach. Easy peasy and good after a long kitchen day.

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
