Yachting...

Currently Listening too: "Hamish" - Screaming Citizens (check 'em out click on the name!)




Well I'm back from yachting and still alive, although I came close to running us aground over a pretty famous sandbank! On-board we had a mother watch system which means one crew member is "mother" for 24hrs, duties include making sure the crew are all well fed.

For my main meal I cooked a variation on a dish I used to do in a bar I used to work in:

Chorizo, Spinach and Tomato Pasta

Sorry the pic is a bit dark!

This dish is really simple, just fry off slices of Chorizo Sausage, chopped onion, crush garlic (to taste). Once these are cooked, cover with a tin of chopped tomatoes and add fresh chopped coriander and a bit of black pepper.

Heat through then add a huge helping of spinach, stir in for 30 seconds, take off heat and serve. As you can probably see from the photo I forgot to add the spinach before serving the sauce so I parched it in a pan with water and served as a garnish!

As I do with everything, add a little gratted cheese...

I'm back home again for Easter weekend, but I return to my student digs on Tuesday so expect some more blogging towards the end of the week! HAPPY EASTER...

I've never been on a Yacht, it must be quite the sport cooking in such a small kitchen! Looks like you did a good job of it though. :)

Jules: 'twas fun, another member of the crew had pizza's flying everywhere one lunchtime!

Lyb: Thanks, I'll post a pic of the oven when I'm back on my computer... very small. and the grill was on the bottom of the oven, which made no sense...!
