The August Bank Holiday approaches and brings with it more rain and another family trip to the Sunny South East. As we travel each weekend during the summer the kitchen in Messy-Towers remains pretty much closed which is one of the reasons I have yet to get photos of the actual dishes up an running. Between you and me I haven’t actually been cooking any of this stuff as we go along, it’s just some favourite things and random thoughts from my head. For the sake of content, and to drive the illusion, here is a another recipe and a stock photo to go with it. It’ll get better. I swear.

I was going to do a potato dish but its summer and we’re all getting our cholesterol down by having boiled spuds with grilled mackerel and salad. I’ll hold off on potato dishes until later in the season so here’s something quick to give edge to your veg.

Broccoli with Garlic and Lemon

Ingredients
1 Knob of Butter
1 clove of Garlic, crushed or finely chopped.
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 Head of Broccoli

Method
Wash and chop the Broccoli in the usual manner, steam or boil for 5-7 minutes. Heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat and add the garlic (you don’t want the garlic to burn), cook gently for 1 minute. Add the Broccoli and lemon juice, cook for another 30secs to 1minute. Season with salt and pepper.
