Warm Salad Lettuce, Grilled Radicchio, tomato and Thyme with a Balsamic dressing

Radicchio – I have worked out the best way to eat it. Pan grilled using a little olive oil and then tossed through the salad. This way the bitter green is piquant and tasty and not too much.

Pan grilling the tomatoes and radicchio in the oil then pouring onto the lettuce immediately slightly wilts the lettuce. Add the balsamic vinegar  a touch more olive oil if necessary season with salt and pepper and fresh thyme leaves.

Not many broad beans tonight so I tossed them through the pasta for the last few minutes of cooking time, then stirred garlic and olive oil through the pasta and broadbeans.

Lovely meal and from the garden broad beans, tomatoes, radicchio, thyme and the very pretty lettuce.

Healthy tasty Spaghetti with a rich meat sauce.

A tree fell down in the big storm and the man of the house had to go and cut it down after work.  Tomorrow he has to go to work early for a container. So he needs a good dinner.

Meat Sauce was cooked yesterday, which was good because it gave me an hour in the garden digging more stones out of the new bed.

At the end of the spaghetti cooking time I added a big bunch of silverbeet cooking it for  a few minutes with the pasta.  Once the pasta and silverbeet was drained,  I cooked 4 cloves of chopped garlic, red onion in olive oil. Threw in some leftover peas, beans and corn and then stirred the pasta and silverbeet through.  Tasty and healthy and for those who aren’t dairy free a handful of grated cheese makes it delicious.
