I was tired when I got home last night after a wonderful day cooking lunch for the Bodywork Intensive workshop at Concord Institute in Finsbury Park. Although the weather is not so cold, it has been raining and I had been on my feet all day… I knew we would still need to eat something for dinner…
So I baked some sliced pumpkin and golden beetroot with some left over white wine, olive oil and a pinch of salt. I boiled some brown rice noodles and sauteed a leek. Mixed the vegetables and noodles, added a little stock or cooking water, some shredded kalamata olives, chervil and parsley and that was it. Served with a salad of lamb lettuce and a little buffalo milk fresh cheese from the Stoke Newington Farmers Market… very delicate.
There was also a baked apple left over… inspired from the comments on Macrobiotic Guide FB page: tahini, a little white miso, rice syrup and raisins, mixed (I think I added a little orange juice to dilute the tahini) and stuffed into the apple (core removed). I took a picture of the apples snuggling up in the oven…
I had not planned these dishes, simply the results of what I thought we needed and what I had in my kitchen.
