That came as a complement to 2 pizzas shared between three people. The cost of it is quite ridiculous and I estimate it to be around 0.7£ although nothing was bought for the salad since everything was already in the fridge.
Pour one spoonful of vinegar in a large salad bowl. Add a teaspoon of mustard, salt, pepper, paprika and some dried herbs. Add fresh mint and basil leaves. Mix very well.
Add two spoons of olive oil and mix thoroughly.
Cut 2 tomatoes. Add in the bowl. Encounter by chance a pack of almond flakes in a cupboard and pour some in the bowl. Cut bread in small pieces and fry it in a bit of oil in a pan to create croutons.
Cut half a lettuce, add in the bowl, add the croutons, mix, Finished!

Mayonnaise au crabe
On Sunday I bought 7 medium size crabs at the Harbour for the price of £3. Worth going, especially that the fishing season is ending.
I cooked all 7 seven and put 5 in the freezer for later purposes.
I prepared a Salade chinoise (see earlier note) and in it added the crab flesh (most of it is in the legs).
In a bowl I put flour, chili, ginger and pepper. Mix in it prawns and lay them in a pan with a little little bit of oil. Fry, once ready, add a little bit of rum and wait for everything to dry out.
With the creamy parts inside the crab, I prepared a mayonnaise to eat with the prawns.
In a bowl, take the creamy bits and 2 yolks. Mix well and add seasonning. Pepper, a little bit of salt (not much because the crab is already salty). Add a teaspoon of mustard. Mix. Add oil until bit by bit until you have a mayonnaise.

Agneau en boule servi avec pâtes et chou-fleur nappés d'une sauce moutarde
Again, an improvised meal. It happens so often. A wee look in the fridge gave the following results : we have crême fraîche, 2 tomatoes, and mustard and some white wine. Look elsewhere : shallots, pasta and eggs. Great, let's do some thing with that.
Go to Morrison's, see 250g of lamb for 45p, well, we will do meat balls. Buy some frozen cauliflower.
Overall cost of the meal £2.50 roughly.
Put about 30g of butter in a pan and 6 small shallots cut in fine bits in it. Small fire. Add a glass of white wine in it. It start already to smell damn good.
Put 2 pots with water in them, one for cauliflower, the other for pasta (although both could theoretically cook in the same).
While all these is getting ready. Take 4 yolks and mix them with 3 teaspoons of mustard (with grains, it is better). You just found by accident a lemon, put the lemon juice in there as well. Mix well, put in a pot and add the shallots plus butter and wine in the mixture. Put the pot on small fire. Add 100g of crême fraîche and some milk to have a liquid but not too much sauce. Add salt and pepper.
Use the shallots pan to cook your tomatoes cut in 12 bits each. Cook fast and not for long. Once they look like being cooked, put the tomatoes in the sauce.
take the lamb mince meat and do little balls that you form in the white of the eggs (that helps keeping them in one ball). Put the meat in the pan that used to have the shallots and the tomatoes. Cook small or medium fire. Get rid of the fat from time to time.
As some point you must cook the pasta and the cauli flower in boiling water.
Serve everything when it is ready.

Salade Chinoise composée à la vinaigrette Nahiz
A big salade can feed quite well a few people, be very good, tasty, spicy and good for the line. The price for that one is kind of ridiculous. I suppose, it cost around £1, maybe £1.50. Again, this is a recipe invented on the spot. The vinaigrette has a base recipe, but all the flavouring was decided from what the lettuce tasted like and what I was going to have in it.
Cut the chinese lettuce and wash it. Dry it.
In salad bowl, put one dessert spoon of vinegar, a teaspoon of mustard, salt, pepper, Espelette chilis (red dry chilis), ground ginger, oregano, curry and 2 teaspoons of honey.
Mix well.
Then had two dessert spoons of olive oil and mix very well to create an emulsion (a very interesting metastable state of matter, could do a physics lecture with a simple vinaigrette. (Aaaah, Gibbs free energy).
Cut some cheese in little cubes, add some bits of ham, an avocado cut in bits and a boiled egg per person.
Add the chinese lettuce (it has a taste of its own, very good with ginger-chili-curry-honey).
Mix, it is ready.
