Little Sketches

Something simple, in season.

A kitchen notebook for ordinary afternoons: a few ingredients, a little patience, something warm to share.

Roasted roots

Cut carrots and potatoes into similar pieces. Toss with oil and a little salt, spread out on a tray and roast until tender and golden at the edges.

Rinse lentils and simmer until tender. Add softened onion, a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley. Keep a little cooking water for a softer texture.

Slice apples into a small pan with a splash of water and a pinch of cinnamon. Cook gently until soft, then spoon over warm porridge.
