Planting garlic

I planted garlic a couple of years ago without success, it rotted in the ground. This year Dean has decided to give it another go. 


He planted two rows-1 inch deep and 5 inches apart - fingers crossed!

Roast cod on spiced Puy lentils

I just had to put this one on...it's so simple to make and absolutely heavenly!




Ingredients:


For the fish- 2 tbsp olive oil mixed with 2tsp of curry powder. 4x cod fillets


For the Lentils- 
275g of Puy lentils ( I cheated and used a precooked packet-which were well worth it £1.99 from Tesco)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 finely chopped red chilli
half a  tsp of cumin
1 red onion
4 tbsp chicken stock
lemon juice
3 tbsp chopped coriander
low fat yoghurt
cayenne pepper.


Method:
Preheat oven to 200c.
If using dried lentils, cook for 20 mins till tender. 
Brush curried oil over fish, then fry in ovenproof pan, skin side down for 2 mins. Turn over and place into oven, cook for 7 mins. 
Meanwhile heat oil in a pan, add garlic, cumin stir for a couple of mins then add the lentils, onion and stock, add lemon juice to taste. Stir in coriander. 
Spoon onto plates and top with cod, dollop with yoghurt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.


Enjoy

My shopping basket today

My Tesco delivery has just been arrived. It's enough food for the next three days...Sticky Chilli Pork, Roast Cod on spiced lentils and Chicken and mushroom risotto soup. Then two lunches-Tomato soup and Mushroom soup, freshly made. I've also got lots of fruit and some decaf coffee....all very lovely but is it really £60 worth of food?
