A POCKET OF PLEASURE

Some days when you are tired and really just not in the mood to stand for hours creating magic, by doing just a few simple steps, delicious food is never far away and this is such a meal.  It is really impressive enough for serve for a dinner party or perfect for a BBQ in the garden.

Take a lamb steak and place it on a sheet of tinfoil

 Take a tablespoon or two of red pesto sauce and grate some lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon and mix together.

Spread a layer of the red pesto sauce on top of the lamb steak.

And wrap it tightly so that the folds are facing upwards and no juice can leak out.

Take a red pepper or two and cut open and de-seed.

 And put into the middle of each pepper about four cherry tomatoes

Slice very thinly a garlic clove and put one or two slices in between the tomatoes and add three anchovies over the tomatoes and then the oil from the tin - sprinkle over the whole pepper.

Anchovies when cooked  melt and give the pepper the most wonderful flavour and saltiness.

Put both the steak and peppers in the oven for about an hour at a temperature of about 180 C

until the pepper is roasted and the tomatoes soft.

About five minutes before you take the steak out of 

the oven - open the tinfoil and allow to brown slightly

          

Add a few boiled baby potatoes and steamed snap peas and

sit back and enjoy your pocket of pleasure that took 

no time or effort at all.

Until next time my friends.
