love nothing more than a spatchcocked roast chicken surrounded by vibrant dishes +++
A couple of weeks ago Harry made a wonderful dark chocolate and orange marmalade frangipane tart from scratch, which we ate with lots of cream.
This was after a meal of spatchcocked roast chicken, steamed new potatoes with lots of butter, cherry tomatoes roasted with goats cheese and an excellent side of green beans dressed with soft roast garlic, anchovy, shallots and red wine vinegar.
A meal I'm pleased to say I cooked none of for once 😎
Posted them already, but I had to wash them and take a prettier photo.
The varieties are: Old German, an unknown yellow variety I definitely didn't sow intentionally, Paul Robeson, Brandywine True Black, Tlacolula Ribbed, Zapotec Brown Flesh, local heirloom I don't know the name of, Black Beauty, Auria, Beauty Lottringa Orange, Voyage, Charlie Chaplin, Phil's One, Purple Smaragd, Thai Pink Egg and Barry's Crazy Cherry.
the spanish do fun things with wine that would probably make French neighbors run screaming to the Hague ; I will be trying both of these in warmer weather
