Couscous with fruit & nut mix, lemon & crispy kale. Vegan, actually.
Also, actually..I recently watched and loved Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix and this little dish is an example of how all of those elements work with food and how they come together to make something taste good. I put olive oil (fat), salt and lemon (acid) on the kale leaves before putting them on a high heat in the oven for 10 minutes to make them crispy. On their own they're just a green leafy veg, and a bit limp. That's what is different about the show (I haven't read the book yet), it's not just lists of ingredients thrown together, it goes into how food is transformed through cooking and what is it exactly that makes a dish taste good. Deep thoughts over my cous cous.

The sensory garden at Eileen Ní Shuilleabháin's @teallach1 gorgeous 'deepening the senses' retreat yesterday for Nollaig na mBan. Treasures to take home - "when you have doubt, listen to your heart and gut and soften to yourself.
Connect to the ground, find your anchor in your breath and move from there". #nollaignamban #mindfulness #meditation #bodywork
