A sunny meal to cut through miserable weather
Sometimes cobbling something together – in this case I’ve been using up my store cupboard ingredients – makes for surprisingly good cooking

My store cupboard has truly been the most valuable player of this lockdown thus far. I’ve been trying not to go to the shops more than once a week if possible, so the dwindling reserves of tins, jars and packets have been pulling their weight more than they have since the first lockdown.
It has also been the sort of week when I haven’t given dinner a moment’s thought until the laptop has finally been closed and I’ve realised I should probably eat something. Sometimes the best meals are thoughtfully planned and shopped for. Often, cobbling something together makes for some surprisingly good cooking.
