Sundays are lazy days for us. It’s my “rest day” so the only exercise that happens is a long walk with the little wolf. Other than that, Sundays comprise lazy market visits, brunch at home, reading and a possible movie. An afternoon nap is always welcome too…
Cooking wise, Sundays are lazy too. I’ll inevitably bake something: muffins, crumble, a random cake. Whatever it is becomes our lunch 🙈 But dinner, or supper if you like, is always a therapeutic affair. roasts, dumplings, tagines, homemade pizza – anything that is slow and easy. And delicious!
Come Monday and the start of a new week, there may, or may not be, leftovers. Today there were. A half leg of slow roasted lamb. But it was time to jazz it up. I shredded the baby up, tossed in some spices and sauted until crisp on the edges- ah-may-zing!! Serve it with the freaky vegan frekeh salad and labneh and you’ll be glad it’s Monday! A leftover meal on par with the original.
