Sunday roasts don’t have to be all gravy and gravy. As I tend to be eating dinner out in the garden this week; Sunday roast is going to look a bite more alternative. More like a Sunday Roasted Salad.
In light of this gorgeous sunshiney weekend we are having. I am sharing our seasonal pick from the cafe’s last Menu. This dish showcases some glorious spring time veg that we get from our local supplier - Blancamel Farm. A lovely lighter lunch option for bank holiday Sunday. (Easter Sunday - if you celebrate it. )
The meal features a mixture of hot and cold leaves, a taste of the seaside with Samphire & Sea salt potatoes and a touch of sunshine with pickled golden beets.
We love to cook intuitively. So our measurements are usually a splash, dash, glug and sprinkle. I’ve kept it that way here to encourage a less rigid cooking approach. We like to cook with love and believe the energy you have when you’re cooking goes into the food. So cook with love and positivity and feel it come through your food.
HAPPY WEEKEND HUNS. ✨
