This is (so far) one of my favourite Ottolenghi dishes. I have to try many more recipes from his book 'Plenty' (Dutch version) - a fantastic b-day present from Lelle & Len-, but I keep making this one! No wonder. Everybody loves it. Same thing at my housewarming yesterday. Well guys, here is the recipe!
More Ottolenghi recipes on the blog soon.
There we go again, another Yotam recipe :). I love this mix of pumpkin with red union! My dear friend Alex surprised me so much! He gave me this wonderful cookbook 'Jerusalem' a few months ago. Once a friend gave me a cookbook and said: "Sorry I'm giving you such an un-personal present." But it's actually (really?;) something that makes me incredibly happy. Especially 'An Ottolenghi'.
My previous boyfriend Jurriaan, he passed away 5,5 years ago, was a real great cook. I was super spoiled with him and hardly ever cooked myself. The things I did cook failed often. Pretty much gave it up ;). Or I'd call him, when I was living in a student flat and cooking for friends, to ask him how exactly I had to make a certain dish.
I couldn't be happier, so why should I be cooking ("Do more of what makes you happy" >> cooking for me)?! No, just kiddin'. We gotta eat!. And cooking, yes it still makes me even háppier. :-D.
Checking out my fridge for leftovers, resulted in this very yummie salad! The sweet figs, combined with the strong Danish blue: I LOVE it. Perfect salad for a sweet summer day.
