Last night's dinner
We used the BBQ last night, for the first time this season. It was a beautiful evening, not quite warm enough to sit outside but more than okay to step into the back yard for cooking al fresco.
Earlier over the weekend, El Franco had made bread dough for a pissaladière (a traditional Nice onion pie), so he was able to use the rest of it for the base for a vegan pizza. He used whole wheat and spelt flour in the ingredients for the dough, which gave it a great flavour. Asparagus spears, fresh tomatoes, onions and peppers made up the topping, all of which was cooked to perfection on the BBQ outside and presented on the plate alongside an arugula salad, sprinkled with an olive oil and garlic dressing.
I’m looking forward to more such food over the coming summer, when we’ll be able to sit down in the back yard while sipping a glass or two of wine and chatting with friends.
Sometimes, the simple pleasures in life are the best.
