OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

For today's lunch, Del's classic Zucchini Parmigiana (made with green and yellow zucchini/courgettes from our garden). Here it is just out the oven - all bubbling and unctious:

And plated up, served with some nice crusty bread:

BIG yumz!:)

Followed by an assorted cheese board with crackers [Brie de Meaux, Taleggio, Shropshire Blue, Welsh Slate-Cavern Aged Cheddar and Gruyère AOP Reserve]:

....all washed down with a superb Chilean Malbec Gran Reserva (from Lidl for £6.50), which is a total Billy Bargain! For this quality, you're talking £13-15 elsewhere!:cheers:

Happy days:cool:

Marco.

nice ... soak up the juices with the bread.. lovely

Had a glut of tomatoes this year (mainly San Marzano), so decided to put them to good use and made a sauce for Ragu, pasta, pizza topping or whatever.
The toms (there were a lot lot more than in the pic) and onions were from my garden and the garlic and Basil from my parents.

Super tasty and you can’t get a lot fresher than from plant to sauce in a afternoon, plus no additives in there.

Nice... San Marzano are the real deal for making quality tomato pasta sauce. What sort of pasta will you be using to serve with it?

If you want to be authentic, then spaghetti, rigatoni or penne is the one, otherwise use wot ya like!:D

Marco.

P.S Sometimes adding a little highly-concentrated tomato puree to the sauce (if you haven't done so already) adds a touch of sharpness, to balance out the natural sweetness of fresh tomatoes, and accentuates the tomato flavour.

Another Waga recipe modified slightly.

The key ingredient making this so good was the sausage. Looks like chorizo but tastes quite different. Pricey, discounted and still pricey, but worth it. Great stuff.

Egg, brown sugar, garlic, chilli, Pak Choi, soy, beansprouts, chicken etc.

Good stuff.

Roasting before blitzing works too for a different take on it.
