Complements II


Damn, these sides were good. Forget the clunky main dish which was couscous with red pepper, chickpeas, artichoke hearts and feta, and check out the spinach with yoghurt, nutmeg and olive oil; and the big field mushrooms just cooked with olive oil. I believe it was Nigel Slater's take on food porn which first led me to realise just how incredibly delicious well-cooked, big field mushrooms are, and one of the great things about fruit and veg markets is that the quality of 'shroom you get there is invariably way better than those from supermarkets. A good one like this basically a meal in itself and its warmth much to be recommended in these days of gloom and bleakness in which the weather's so dank that the raindrops themselves are little icerdrops when they land on you.
