With this weather I feel more into stews than salads. But following the body biological calendar I have to go for a salad. And it is a very, very easy one. And healthy too.

You can use any pasta but Orzo has something special.

I used the ingredients I had handy at home. You can play around with you favourite ones. Anchovies, prawns, mangoes…

And the music. And “old” song from my teenage years. Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies.

My addiction to Porcini (Boletus Edulis) is more than obvious. I can’t get tired of its peculiar flavour.

A quick recipe, no more than 30 minutes, with a excellent result. Enjoy it!

Music for a Friday. My Baby Just Cares for Me by Nina Simone.

It seems that I completely abandoned my blog. But it has been in my mind every day. The last few weeks had been very busy between painting in the house and family and friends visits. I was cooking, but mainly dishes already in the blog or basic salads to feed big numbers…

Visitors will be around for a good while and the second round of painting is due to start next week. I won’t be very regular posting in the next few weeks but I will try to be better.

Today, a different Paella. Simple but full of flavour. I don’t like to add too many ingredients, quality Vs. quantity. And the Fregola, what a discovery! It retains better the flavours than the rice and has a lovely texture. If you try it you will repeat.

And the music, Common People by Pulp. I was lucky to see them last year and they are brilliant in concert.

This is a classic at home. I usually make more Pesto than the pasta requires and keep it in jar in the fridge. You can add it to any pasta or sandwich and have a lunch ready in minutes.

Last night, after the run, I stopped at the Organic local shop, Eco Logic, and I got red peppers. Real red peppers! With them, and some seafood I made this pasta. Easy and with a very Mediterranean taste.

The photo is not great, sorry, but it was getting cold!

After the Viridiana post I was craving for the Boletus flavour, so based on Abraham’s recipe I made this pasta, sadly without the truffle. It is not easy to find fresh Boletus in Dublin so I went for the dehydrated option(available in good italian shops), to used them you will need to hydrated with water for 30 minutes before use.
