Leeks are amazing


A lot of people probably don't give leeks a second chance when it comes to cooking. But they're amazing when cooked in proper ways and with the right ingredients.
Besides what Jamie suggests, I'd add my own recipe of leek-onion soup that I might do for the blog someday.

Crazy about salads

Mozarella, chilli and lemon crostini




antipasti of mozzarella, chilli, and lemon crostini

starter | serves 4 
Heat a griddle pan until it’s really smoking hot, then griddle each slice of ciabatta for a couple of minutes on each side until they are nicely charred. 

Cut the garlic clove in half, rub each ciabatta slice with garlic and drizzle with a little olive oil. Tear the mozzarella evenly over the 8 crostini. Season well with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the sliced chilli and basil leaves and grate over the lemon zest. Finish with another drizzle of olive oil.


ingredients

• 8 slices ciabatta bread
• 1 clove garlic
• extra virgin olive oil
• 2 balls of buffalo mozzarella
• Sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
• a small handful of fresh basil leaves
