Good dinner for the heat tonight, courtesy of River Cottage Light & Easy. This is slightly bastardised to allow for laziness:
chop new potatoes into bite-sized chunks and boil til soft (about 10 mins). Drain, then return the potatoes to the hot pan. Make a dressing by combining olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or any old vinegar really), a grated garlic clove and a spoonful of your favourite mustard or mustard powder. Flake smoked mackerel fillets into the pan with the potatoes and squeeze a lemon over the mixture. Add seasoning (plenty of black pepper, obvs). Stir a bag of spinach through until it’s wilted. Pour on the dressing and stir. Serve in bowls.
One question, though. Why did Hugh think it was ok to pose like this for a book cover with these poor leeks?
