Back for 2018, starting with the new Jamie Oliver 5 ingredients book.
This book had been on my wish list a while, and finally, Christmas saw it’s purchase! I was really excited to get stuck in, and what better time than January. All aboard the ‘new year, new me’ band wagon…
Having spent 6 months very much ready (and waiting) to move house (which then landed in the run up to Christmas), I had gotten quite spur-of-the-moment and disorganised with my meal planning. Now I’m settled again, I’m looking forward to getting back to my old ways!
It was so good to see such an array of healthy green colours whilst preparing this, far from the numerous cheese boards, mince pies and roast dinners of December!
As you may notice there’s an addition of asparagus in this shot. I’ve actually made this twice and had some asparagus to use up. That’s the great thing about these 5 ingredient meals, whilst you can get away with such minimal ingredients, there is room to add more if you would like… and in my case it meant something else didn’t go to waste.
The recipe was true to its word, 15 minutes later this meal was on the plates, and it went down a treat. Full of flavour with the lemon and the extra virgin olive oil to finish.
Great start with the new book, with several more lined up! As a new years resolution I’m going to be eating less meat (but sourcing better quality) so the veggie side of the blog may start to balance out… a little at least.
