… Minted Courgettes & Brown Rice\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today I have my mum and two of my sisters for lunch.\u00a0 I’m also preaching at church which always makes me nervous.\u00a0 That means I spend much more time preparing for preaching and no time thinking about lunch.\u00a0 But surly that\u2019s what this whole fifteen minute meal thing is about … isn’t it \u2026 just cooking a quick meal?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a meal I’ve looked forward too, but for some reason I’ve only got round to doing now.\u00a0 The reason I’ve looked forward to it is undoubtedly the crispy Parma ham on top of the pork mediations.\u00a0 The reason I’ve not done it until now is because \u2026 I don’t know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, with last minute shopping (and a lack of any significant home growing this year), I couldn’t get any other colour courgette other than green to make up my “6 medium mixed colour courgettes”.\u00a0 So it was one colour courgettes…<\/span><\/p>\n

One colour courgette or not it was a good one.\u00a0 Appreciated by all. A nice little meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0(So I didn’t have much time to think about cooking today, which makes doing the fifteen minute meal project a good thing, but it makes doing other things like a pudding a bad thing.\u00a0 So I did my “I haven’t thought about pudding … what the hell am I going to make pudding”.\u00a0 It involves a very quick run round the supermarket and a quick bit of baking and not much else … if you want the recipe here you go: make a quick sweat crust pastry (cheat by using your food processor or KitchenAid). Rest it if you have time (today I barley did) roll it (or as I do, squish it) in to a tart tin.\u00a0 Bake.\u00a0 That’s it you’re done.\u00a0 When lunch is done excuse your self, whip mascarpone with a bit of cream.\u00a0 Put it in your tart case.\u00a0 Add whatever soft fruit \u00a0you were able to get hold of (raspberries and blackberries in my case to day).\u00a0 If you have time, and if your a bit of a tart (which I sometimes am) add some fresh chopped mint and whizz up a few raspberries and icing sugar and drizzle over the top).<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and by the way the musical accompaniment for this afternoon was North Americana by Leif Vollebekk, a record I spent far too much on getting imported from Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
