May 26, 2019


I had a big birthday lately together with hosted a shindig at 1 of our former favourite pubs amongst a bunch of mates. I finished the nighttime loaded downward amongst presents, including a stunning laid of Global knives from my operate colleagues. They supplemented the knives amongst a box total of produce, providing the telephone commutation ingredients for 3 (3!) dissimilar Ottolenghi dishes. I had left Dominicus completely free, therefore I spent the 24-hour interval working my means through all of them. 

There were a twosome of pretty slow dishes: cauliflower, pomegranate together with pistachio salad from Simple and roasted pumpkin wedges amongst chestnut, cinnamon & fresh bay leaves from the web. The cauliflower was pretty first-class - a mix of grated raw together with tender roasted cauli, amongst the classic Ottolenghi additions of pomegranate together with a diversity of herbs.


The pumpkin was a chip allow downward past times our inability to locate fresh bay leaves together with a full general ambivalence towards chestnuts - the maple together with sage roasting mix worked good though. 


The in conclusion dish (pictured at the top) was the nigh complex: butternut squeeze amongst ginger tomatoes together with lime yoghurt from Nopi - nosotros used the version on Ottolenghi's website. There are a lot of steps to this - roast the pumpkin, roast the tomatoes for 2 hours amongst a spice glue together with brand upward a yoghurt sauce. None of it's really hard, but it's a fourth dimension consuming thing - you lot actually necessitate to bring nigh of the 24-hour interval costless to brand this work. It's worth the fourth dimension though - the ginger tomatoes furnish a sharp, acidic outburst that cuts through the sugariness pumpkin, piece the yoghurt smooths things out together with the peanuts together with shallots orbit you lot unopen to crunch. It's a showstopper of a side dish.
