Another vego dinner (I despise their views, not their food). The warm four bean salad had to be the highlight. I used to chow down big time on KFCs four bean salad, this was a sort of homage to that little tub beans. All four beans were cooked separately in order to elevate the dish texturally. The green beans blanched, the borlotti braised in chicken stock with a dash of balsamic, broad beans were smashed into a pesto with pistachios and the cannelini were sauted with garlic. Simple and delicious. The Broccolini Casarecce was another dish that I used to love as a kid. Broccoli florets boiled, blitzed, seasoned and stirred through pasta. This version had the florets cooked in cream with the addition of green chillis, then blitzed and tossed through the casarecce. The broccoli heart was pickled quickly in a little salt, then scattered over the top with sauted broccolini. Yum.
