bitsa lunch

[ramtops]

We had a bag of salad leaves from Riverford this week. Neither perlmonger nor I are especially fond of salad; it always seems too much effort for little reward. However, we also have three mozzarellae which need eating (bought a tub full at Costco the other week). And so, today's lunch:

1 packet pancetta cubes, gently fried in olive oil with a couple of cloves of garlic
3 salad onions, chopped
1/4 cucumber, diced
1 mozzarella, chopped
1 bag salad leaves, torn and destalked
1 can chickpeas
juice of half a lemon
some soy sauce
mixed seeds

Mix 'em all together. Eat. Delicious.

Keep the chickpeas and I'd be fighting you for it. Sounds yum.

If you're not keen on salad leaves, try wilting them at the last moment into a hot dish of chickpeas stew. There's a recipe in the 2nd. Covent Garden Soup cookbook.

I have that book! And we often do that, especially with spinach, but it doesn't work with lettuce. We eat masses of pulses here.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

I don't put lettuce into it, but it's great with rocket, spinach, lambs lettuce or sorrel. In fact, I think my favourite is the sorrel.
