Tuna, Roast Pepper, Tomato and Bean Salad(4)

Prawn, Mushroom and Parsley Crostini (2)

A simple and quick supper from ” The Really Helpful Cookbook” by Ruth Watson.

Lentil Salad with Soft Boiled Eggs and Tapenade Toasts (4)

A very good lentil salad from ” The Really Helpful Cookbook” by Ruth Watson. The salad will benefit from being made ahead and sitting in the dressing for a day or two.The tapenade in this recipe does not include any anchovies so it is suitable for vegetarians. You could use ready made tapenade if you like or put anchoiade on the toast instead. Any leftover tapenade can be kept in the fridge for up to a week to serve with drinks .

Scallops with Sauce Vierge (4)

A recipe from one of my favourite cookbooks – ” The Really Helpful Cookbook” by Ruth Watson. I have cooked and returned to so many meals from this book. This is easy to make and the flavours of the sauce go very well with the shellfish.
