Chatto and Windus, 1998
Robert's away, so I'm searching for things that are easy to cook for one. No copy of Delia's One is Fun, so I've been trawling the books for something easy and quick and new to cook for myself. Incidentally, how did anyone ever manage to come up with such a lame book title? I don't think there was ever a good book title with the word 'fun' in it. What about that gem Five have Plenty of Fun? Enid Blyton was so prolific she didn't bother to stop and find enticing titles. I suppose she didn't have to bother much, what with all children reading her books.
Anyway, I suppose I could eat with the kids, but really they prefer to eat about 5.30 and if I eat then I'm starving by bedtime. Mostly it has been a bit of a frustrating week: plenty of scrambled egg and soup. However, one day I took the time (about twn minutes) to cook this for myself, substituting a bag of spinach, rocket and watercress for the kale which is a fodder-like for me. It was incredibly easy and delicious, although I think Nigella's a bit heavy-handed with the chorizo. I ended up with a bowl full of chorizo bits after I'd finished all the healthy stuff. Not such a bad thing... but definitely more than was needed.
