… Tomato, Basil & Creamy Curd Salad
I spent all day on Saturday gardening in my house that I rent out which is between tenants at the moment. I have had help from my brother and Gavin so it only seems right that I cook them dinner again tonight. After last night’s steak, a vegetarian option seemed like a good idea.
This meal is called simple spaghetti and it is a simple meal. The range of ingredients is quite limited and the process is quite simple.
The only fiddly bit is slicing the tender steam broccoli lengthways because inconveniently it doesn’t grow dead straight.
The tomato salad is great and simple. Putting cottage cheese in the salad seemed a bit odd to me but it really does work.
This recipe calls for two lemons to be squeezed into different parts of the dish. After my day of gardening my hands, my left hand in particular, is covered in scratches from brambles. The lemon juice really stings my hand. Although it can’t be seen too much in the photographs my left hand is covered in bright red angry scratches.
There isn’t much else to say – this was fun and simple to cook. It was all done in under fifteen minutes and really did taste very lovely.
Simple really.
