Right. It’s a bank holiday Monday, I’m away and there are only about two people reading this (hi). So #Supplemental is in list format today. I scrolled quickly through things, so may well have missed a gem or two; if that’s the case, then comment below and I’ll add.
- A great mid-week supper dish from Jamie Oliver in The Sunday Times: Steamed cod with champ, and a parsley, caper, cider and creme fraiche sauce.
- Six Jane Baxter summer salads in The Times Weekend. Proper food, not dinner dodging. Take, for example, the mix of fregola, chorizo, borlotti beans, roasted sprouts, radicchio and more; and a freekeh, medjool date, apple and Jerusalem artichoke ensemble.
- More freekeh over at the FT Weekend, with Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich’s tempting recipe for chicken shish with pea, freekeh and feta.
- Is it sunny back in England? How about tandoori sea bream on today’s BBQ (Saturday Times Magazine)?
- Or, head to The Telegraph’s internet pages for a collection of BBQ recipes, including Richard Turner’s intriguing milk and honey brined pork chops; and Diana Henry’s poussin with za’atar and pumkin hummus.
- Burrata starters from Stephen Harris in Saturday’s Telegraph.
- And Venetian ting in Sunday’s Telegraph, via Ben Tish and Skye McAlpine.
- Head over heals for Tommi Miers’ flattened tandoori chicken thighs with mango relish, and also the chilled coconut jasmine rice with alphonso mangoes in The Guardian’s Weekend magazine.
- A light, reassuring cuddle from Nigel Slater in Sunday’s Observer, via clams, mussels and bacon in a fish broth; and poached sea bass with mushrooms and ginger.
- On a similar but perhaps more calorific comfort theme, Clair Ptak’s baking column in Saturday’s Cook focused on brioche. Get your loaf on, or use it in a strawberry bread and butter pudding – tis almost the season after all.
- There was another ‘serious breakfast’ column by Yotam Ottolenghi in Saturday’s Guardian Weekend Magazine. If you’re up early reading this, and have a helluva larder, try: spring green frittata with dried Iranian limes; dried shrimp turnip cakes (and a fried egg); smoky sweetcorn, kaffir lime and tofu fritters; or pecan and coconut granola with rhubarb and blackcurrants … No? Bank holiday cornflakes it is, then.
- Cook’s Anna Jones prefers to make tomorrow’s breakfast the evening before. So, for we slackers, it’s too late to put together roasted strawberry and chia-kinda-bircher, or rye, vanilla malt and peach overnight oats. I like the look of that last one in particular.
- Finally, other lovely things in Cook included Oliver Rowe’s mashed swede with baked eggs, and Yorkshire puddings filled with leeks and gruyere; plus Rachel Roddy’s baked pasta template (short pasta, mozzarella, fresh tomato sauce).
