it's been a lovely Sunday so far - how was yours?

The Dal Makhani is bubbling on the stove, still at least a couple hours of cooking time left to break down the dals and beans - they need to be at the point of disintegrating.

BTW, did you know that, at least in Sth India, Makhani (meaning butter or buttery) is NOT pronounced Mak-aaah-ney like we do here, but Makh'ni. "Kh" sound is important, but not the aah we insert into it.

There you go. I felt duly chastised by my friend in Chennai. Now I use it here, and no one understands me.

Now this was nice, despite the fact that they provide the worst brand of haloumi available. Freekeh cooked in stock, mixed with butter, garlic, roast veg, baby spinach (and my herbs)), topped with honey-cooked haloumi, herb mayo, Greek yoghurt and pepitas. (The mayo and yoghurt saved the haloumi.)

Pretty delish, healthy. Easyish to make although a few too many dishes 😆.

Back to the #MealKits tonight. A lovely Pear, rocket, baby spinach, cucumber, parmesan, pine nuts and balsamic glaze salad. Delicious. About to make the freekeh (with roast veg) and haloumi. I will keep you up to date 😆👩‍🍳🍽

So remember #MealKits ? When I ordered weeks of food, and a lot of it, because I was #reallySick and #Hungry? And now I am well again, with a fridge full of meal kits.

Tonight's was Toasted Gnocchi in a creamy cheesy Spinach-Mushroom Sauce with a side salad of rocket and cucumber. The salad was pretty meh, not the best quality rocket. I could have made a better salad but, #TimePressure.

But the gnocchi was knock-out!l

(The leftover baked sweet potato chips and grilled haloumi from yesterday's kit were today's nibbles. We cooked some beetroot from the garden to eat with evo, s&p, while the gnocchi was cooking.)
