„Delicious,
Daví. So tell me what did you do differently?“
“Well,
I didn’t put the celery into it… and one tin of beans… and
we should have eaten it with these toasted slices of bread...”
“Wow
and there are various types of pasta. Have you made it up yourself? Because of
me?”
“No,
that was in the recipe. So what’s it like?”
“Delicious!”
My
first recipe from my brand new cook book by Jamie. Simon has bought it to me as
a gift. Just like that. And David has become very enthusiastic about it,
because he loves when I cook for him. (And even more he loves to eat.)
We ate
the Minestrone on the porch and he had about three small bowls more. His new way
of eating. He puts his food into small bowls and this way he tries to eat less.
However this trick doesn’t work on him because the only thing he actually
achieves is that he has some more at least three times.
This
soup will last at least for a week, I say. David hates this. When I say that
some food will last for a long time, that I’ve made a lot of it, he has the feeling that A) he can’t have some more and B) if he has some more and
everything’s eaten right away he looks too
greedy because according to my judgement the food should have lasted till the
next day.
Still
I can’t leave those comments out. I have
always have the feeling that I have literally cooked for the whole army but in
the end all guys throw on it and nothing’s left.
David
weighs about fifty kilograms and recently he decided to lose weight into the
trousers size S so I don’t understand why he started this fitness
programme under the control of Daniel. Running, doing exercise, healthy eating,
small bowls with food, no sweets. The last one mentioned he can’t keep.
Minestrone
was a success, we had it for dinner as well. And even for dinner David had a second
dish.
1 onion
2 carrots
1/2 butternut squash
olive oil
1 cube vegetable broth
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 can of beans
some pasta (you can choose how much you want to and the shapes you like to)
200 g frozen spinach
parmesan cheese
Cut the
onion, carrot and squash into small pieces and fry on the olive oil few minutes
(let´s say 10) until it gets little bit of fried structure. Then add broth cube
and can of tomatoes, beans and 2 litres of boiling water. Let the soup boil and
then reduce the heat and cook 30 minutes.
Add spinach
and pasta then and cook 10 minutes more or until the pasta is done.
Serve with
bread and spread some parmesan cheese and olive oil over it. And maybe some
basil leaves just to look good.
It´s
delicious!
