.... when there is a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe in the Guardian which features only 4 ingredients all of which are commonly available in your local supermarket 🥺
So not tinned tomatoes or pasta?
Yeah Yolam and his fancy recipes.
/pssst! Who is he?
Picked up tinned tomatoes and spaghetti in Aldi this morning

That is mad. Although were the 4 ingredients truffle oil, pomegranate molasses, wood pigeon breast and vintage port?
@Drac, he's employed by the Guardian to make people in the provinces feel inadequate. You really need to be in a nicer bit of London to even begin to get the required ingredients.
Yotam Ottolenghi recipe
I honestly thought that was the name of the dish.
Damn. I'm all out of oregano sprigs.
Remember if your local convenience store has ran out of pomegranate molasses you can make your own from pomegranate juice.
You really need to be in a nicer bit of London to even begin to get the required ingredients.
Ah! I’ll stick with others if it involves living in London to make his recipes.
Here's my recipe with only 4 ingredients:
Cheese
Butter
Ham
Bread
Jambon fromage sandwich
Well that’s no good there’s method.
Anyway Jamie has the answer.
The Guardian food bit is mental in general. Here is their easy pantry dinner to get you through lockdown:
"Furikake, pick your favourite brand or ask your grocer for their favourite one"
I can't decide on a favourite, I'll pop down to Spar and ask them.

I asked in Aldi but they gave me a look that scared me
Also another ingrediant I know nothing of
"1 small Lebanese cucumber"
Anyway Drac stay in Northumberland its nicer 🙂
Actually I'm quite a fan od Guardian cooking pages but that goes way beyond my sort cupboard staples. WTF is a Lebanese cucumber?
Having said that I think it looks quite a nice dish.
The Guardian meals for £10 4 part article a couple of years ago was really good. Not too fancy, cheap eats for the family
were the 4 ingredients truffle oil, pomegranate molasses, wood pigeon breast and vintage port?
I've got the vintage port tomd but not the rest. It's ok though I'll just have port soup.
@Drac love that tweet, shared it with my sister who is 12 days into a 14 day lockdown with a family to feed. Cheered her up.
Right I checked what a Lebanese cucumber is. Apparently very similar to a normal cucumber, but obviously that wouldbe too easy for the Guardian. Looks a bit like the type you get in the Polish shop so maybe try there if your friendly neighbourhood Lebanese shop is all out.

Isn't that just a combo fetish?

TBH I don’t think there’s anything finer than real rustic french bread and cheese, if the ingredients are good 🙂
That Grauniad ‘easy pantry dinner’ really shows the disconnect between the ‘urban elite’ and the rest of us peasants! Talk about foodie snobs. Pretty sure my g/f could rustle up meals just as good, except she’d look at the recipe, check what we had, and wing it! But then, she spent her early life growing up in pubs and hotels with restaurants attached owned by her parents where her mum looked after the food side of things, so she’s had a lot of experience.
Which is good, because I can’t cook worth a damn! Well, I can do a pretty good omelette! 😁

Mmmmm, you’re not wrong there! 😁
