A hearty soup for this evening’s meal. Sort of inspired by Minestrone but lacking some essential ingredients 🙂 I fried some pancetta until golden then softened onions and garlic in the fat that had been released. Carrots and white turnip followed, then pepper, dried oregano and a tetrapack of Passata. When the root veg were almost cooked I chucked in thinly sliced leek, chopped kale and frozen basil along with a jar of ready cooked lentils. The soup was topped with parmesan cheese and olive oil and we used up the tail end of a baguette to dunk. Just making the most of what we had in (half a stew pack, the pancetta and the jar of lentils) Surprisingly, not at all bad. Tasty in fact. Tomorrow we will be down by the coast, and with consequently higher temperatures, so will be returning to the salad regime, I think. And now, the Crema Catalana, I think. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #food #soup

Dessert: chocolate ice cream (a lovely example), chocolate brownie (disappointing) and mango coulis. A lovely meal, as always, but actually quite a bit better than on our last visit. 45€ ph inclusive of all drinks, bread, coffee, water etc. Difficult to find better value. All wines are local/regional and are all interesting. This was our fourth visit. We will be back for more. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner
