Red Mullett with Borlotti beans
1/2 cup of beans soaked overnight if need be
garlic
onions
chilli

Veg Stock
Cayenne pepper
paprika
rocket

saute garlic, onions, celery in 1tsp of olive oil and/or stock. Add remaining stock and simmer until beans are cooked. You can add seasoning of your choice, including mustard. Stir in some fresh rocket just before serving.

Here's a little something that Core Queen Aleks has been cooking up at home. Although you are all on slightly different eating plans, email me what you've been cooking. If it is good for all the campers, I will post.

`Grilled Chicken

1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp fennel seeds
3 cloves
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp hot chili powder
pinch fresh-ground salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 x portabella mushroom sliced into 1-in thick slices
squeeze lemon

grind spices in a mortar & pestle. add chopped garlic and soy sauce and grind into a paste. coat chicken thighs and let marinate for 1hr 30m.

Heat grill pan on a moderate-high hob. add chicken and let sear for 2 minutes. turn over and reduce heat to medium-low. Slow cook until done.

with grill pan still hot, remove chicken and add trimmed asparagus and mushroom. squeeze lemon over the veggies, lightly salt and let sear for 2 minutes on either side.
