Kale and Borlotti Minestrone

I turned to Rukmini Iyer's The Green Roasting Tin for this one. 

 

 

First attempt at this was 28th April. Prep time took substantially longer than it should have as I was too lazy to wash up before cooking, meaning I had to do the 2 at once. Should have been 15. Took me about 45. Furthermore, it didn’t help that I forgot to put the can of chopped tomatoes in and basically fried everything in the pot while it was in the oven, then gave it an extra 10 once I’d noticed the unopened can and bunged in the contents. It tasted okay, but I didn’t want to be defeated by a recipe. 

I had another go 15th May. 27 min prep time this time. Well. This time I couldn’t find Borlotti beans as Tesco – the only one of 3 local supermarkets that stock it – had ran out. I used chickpeas instead.

 

Again, it tasted… okay. I’m appreciative of the nutrients. 

Of course, I forgot to write up this blog post for 2 weeks. It’s 31/5 at the time of writing. I’m also appreciative of Teeline notes, a blog posting system and social media...
