White bean And parmesan puree






Feel free to use whichever white beans you prefer.  Canellini, butter beans,
borlotti or even fava would all work. I’m also thinking that chickpeas
would be lovely but haven’t tried them out yet.
This puree is a quick and easy starter to serve with warm pita bread or
your favourite dipping vehicle.   Another option is to serve it on crostini -
thin slices of baguette that have been toasted on one side and rubbed
with a cut clove of garlic while still hot.

  1 can canellini beans (400g /14oz), drained
  1 - 2 cloves garlic
  1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  60g (2oz) parmesan cheese, finely grated
  3 - 4 tablespoons lemon juice

Place all ingredients in a food processor and whizz until very smooth.
Season to taste, adding a little more lemon juice if you think it needs
it.
Serve at room temperature with pita or other bread.



Veggie laksa





Laksa is a wonderful coconut milk based noodle soup that hails from
Malaysia. These days you can get commercial laska or other Thai curry
pastes that take all the hard work out of it.
I’ve used Singapore noodles in this recipe which are a fine version of
fresh hokkien noodles but I have eaten laksa with rice noodles and even a
combination of the two so feel free to substitute.
I’ve cheated a little on the 5 ingredient rule by including ‘mixed chopped
vegetables’ as a single ingredient. I actually used a carrot, a zucchini and
a red pepper, all cut into little batons. Chicken laksa is also really popular.
Prawn or shrimps are lovely cooked in the spicy fragrant coconut broth.



  • 350g (3/4lb) fresh Singapore noodles
  • 60g (2oz) Laksa paste or other Thai curry paste
  • 1 large can coconut cream (1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups mixed chopped vegetables (see note above)
  • handful fresh basil leaves



Place noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to
stand for 1 minute then massage to loosen into individual strands. Drain.
Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons of peanut or other vegetable oil in a large
saucepan over high heat. Add curry paste and stir fry for 30 seconds.
Quickly add coconut cream and 2 cups boiling water. Bring to the boil
and add vegetables. Simmer for 2 minutes or until the vegetables are
cooked to your liking.
To serve, divide noodles between 3 bowls. Pour over soup and
vegetables and top with basil leaves


Chicken & couscous soup






Couscous is brilliant in soup as it cooks quickly and adds a lovely hearty
texture to make your soup more of a meal-in-a-bowl.
If you have access to kale or other greens they may be substituted for
the baby spinach for a more rustic soup.

  • 6 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 2 chicken breasts, finely sliced into ribbons
  • 1/2 cup couscous
  • 2 bags baby spinach, washed
  • 4-5 tablespoons lemon juice


Bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan.
Add chicken and cook for 2 - 3 minutes or until just cooked through.
Scoop our the chicken and divide between 4 bowls. Keep warm.
Meanwhile return the broth to the boil. Add couscous and return to
the boil then stir through the spinach leaves until they are just wilted.
Add lemon juice, season and taste. Add a little more lemon juice if
you think it needs it.
Divide couscous and spinach broth between the bowls and serve
hot.

bocadillo with jamon








The humble bocadillo is the ultimate minimalist Spanish sandwich.
Just a baguette filled with some meat, cheese, omelette or tuna. The
Spanish do not add lettuce, pickles, onions, mustard or mayonnaise
to their bocadillo. Sometimes the bread is moistened by rubbing the
cut side of a tomato onto the bread, or drizzling some olive oil – or
both. But mostly it’s just bread and one filling. I find good quality jamon
is flavoursome and moist enough to enjoy on its own.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Spain you could make this sandwich
with a different type of jamon every day. Proscuitto or parma ham
would make good substitutes.
If you’re feeling nervous that your sandwich will be too dry, serve with
some good extra virgin olive oil on the side. But please try it without
the oil first.

  1/2 – 1/3 baguette
  2 – 4 slices jamon

Break open baguette.
Layer with jamon, close up and enjoy.
