Dinner was very late bec I spent the time I should have been cooking chatting with a friend…
So scrambled-together dinner was a big. warm salad of shaved Brussels sprouts (with red onion, garlic, smoked paprika, aleppo flakes) topped with roasted butternut squash (garlic, garam masala, cumin), with a generous sprinkling of sunflower seeds, parmesan (unnecessary in retrospect, and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses which were just the finishing touch the squash needed.
Quite delicious for a use-up-the-produce meal that came together without much thought.

Last night I made a riff on Nigella’s riff on Bengali fish bharta (literally: mash). Made a fresh batch of quinoa+rice to go with while the fish fingers baked.
I made the onion-ginger-garlic-green chilli-mustard base and then added lots of broccoli slaw to it and adjusted flavoring. When the fish fingers were nice and crisp, I added them to the pan with cilantro, broke them up and tossed lightly to distribute the seasoning without making them soggy. Ate with quinoa+rice.
This will definitely be repeated!
