Out of all the recipes I have posted thus far ready for next weeks this is my ABSOLUTE favourite. Sweet Potato and Goat´s Cheese, two of my all time favourite foods, combined into one dish?

The roasted sweet potatoes and red peppers were so sweet - with just a hint of spice added from the harissa paste. Sublime!

With so much work and so little time, comfort food has been high on my agenda this last few weeks. I know its summer and meals, as a rule, are lighter and altogether less substantial than your average "line your rib cage" Shepherds Pie but I´m going with it anyway because I am delving into my favourite recipes - and this IS my absolute favourite. Its a fusion of wonderful minced Welsh Lamb, rich Plum Tomatoes and sweet smokey Paprika (Pimienton Dulce). I always utilise Organic Welsh Lamb … [Read more...]
