there’s nothing quite like a simple late summer

there’s nothing quite like a simple late summer minestrone to give some warmth to a cool september evening — with green beans and borlotti beans, potatoes, tomatoes + zucchini, all gently nestled and tucked into a light-but-luxurious fennel saffron broth ✨ topped with fresh fennel fronds & a delicate drizzle of olive oil, for extra comfort and delight 😌💛⁣

confited tomato & fire-roasted bell pepper rigaton

confited tomato & fire-roasted bell pepper rigatoni! here’s another late summer pasta for you, in addition to the five pasta recipes in today’s newsletter 💌 ⁣⁣

tossed a couple of lightly oiled sweet peppers in the pizza oven and left them there until their skins were a little blackened and their flesh nicely softened. then I simply wrapped them up in foil so they could steam as they cooled, and left them in the fridge until I was ready to use them. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣two days later, I slow-roasted some tomatoes with a few cloves of garlic in a rather luscious layer of olive oil (to make so-called tomato “confit”) — blitzed the peppers, tomatoes + now-golden garlic with the flavoured oil, plus some soaked almonds, to make a fiery red pasta sauce. the result was mellow, sweet and smoky. a concentrated taste of summer.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
wonderful on its own, yet made even better with a bit of flaky @maldonsalt or parmesan on top (plus an extra drizzle of evoo, if one is in the mood for luxury)⁣ ✨⁣

watermelon feta salad with tomatoes, chili & lime!

watermelon feta salad with tomatoes, chili & lime! 💛 such a treat, and a perfect way to mark the end of melon season — the trick here is to generously salt your melon and tomatoes and then… just let them sit. pop them into a bowl, wait around 20 minutes or so (until they’ve made their own juices but still hold their shape), then add some fresh lime juice to the watermelon-tomato elixir and combine everything with crumbled feta, fresh lime zest, fresh mint + basil leaves, chili flakes, plus a healthy drizzle of good evoo. using their own juices to dress them makes the melon and tomatoes taste more of themselves, this dish more of summer, and (if I may be so bold to say) life more of itself 🍉✨😌

summer simplicity at its best! hard to go wrong when you start with tomatoes & basil 💛 decided last minute to leave the onion to pickle in the fridge overnight for a more vivid colour (+ a crisper texture and more mellow flavour) — 24 hours later and its newfound beauty (& taste!) did not disappoint! also used up the last of a stale-but-still-lovely @lbpedlar loaf to make some pink-hued croutons to pop over top 😌 an absolute delight⁣
