5 March - roast cod and apple crumble

After another wrap for lunch (the packet needs using up!) with some cold leftover lamb from Friday, I did some simple roast cod wrapped in pancetta for supper. I did the creamy leeks with butterbeans again to go with it - a good combination.

I'd had a real fancy for some pudding. I'd hoped to get some rhubarb, but there was none to be found, so it was apple crumble instead, with custard, of course!

15 July - roast lamb and pesto

After last night's lamb taster, I fancied a bit more tonight. There wasn't much in the way of decent chunky steaks at the supermarket, so I went for a small joint instead to roast. I'd intended to make the meat last over a couple of meals, but after I'd carved up enough for a decent serving each, there wasn't really enough worth keeping, so we ate it all! I'd brought home a small pot of pesto from last night's workshop (although, I think probably not the one I made as they got mixed up), so this made a nice fresh sauce to pour over the lamb. Together with some roasted new potatoes with rosemary, a bit of tenderstem broccoli and some green beans, plus a glass or two of chilled rose, it made a rather decadent Friday night dinner.
