Eating out

Ste Clarisse

Our lovely new barbecue is earning its keep already. It's a super-duper sized one and serves as a big oven.

The other evening dinner was so simple: Place one chicken breast per person in a baking tin, sprinkle them with olive oil, basil and Harissa and stir to coat. (This would work equally well with salmon steaks or any firm white fish)

In another dish place blanched fennel, mixed with a couple of tablespoons of crème fraîche and sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese. (Substitute any vegetable of your choice in place of fennel).

In a third dish, new potatoes tossed in olive oil and whole cumin seeds. Chuck the pans on the barbie, keep an eye on them from time to time and sit back with a nice chilled glass of rosé wine while they cook.

Delish!
