SO INSPIRATIONAL

My new year resolution is to try to keep a record of the dishes I mess around with each day. When my son was young he used to say to me, "Write the recipe for that dish Mum, so we can have it again." So many times I'd cook something simple and delicious but with no record, it would often only ever appear once on our table.

Today for lunch my daughter Katie wanted something substantial; probably because she had a Big Night Out last evening. So I delved into the wonderful 'Jerusalem' by Ottolenhi and Sami Tamimi, and came up with my own version of their Conchiglie with yogurt, peas & chilli. We had to use linguine as that's all that is currently in the pantry, and I added some of the leftover roast lamb to give the dish a bit more depth. It was light, full of interesting flavours and textures and the recipe is on the RECIPES page of this blog.
