A Typical Weekend

Breakfast - poached eggs on toast topped with a fried quails egg.
Lunch - foraged wild garlic soup
Dinner - baked john dory risotto with choritzo.

The wild garlic soup

We picked some in the woods whilst walking the dog. I softened two small shallots, added some lemon thyme and marjoram from the garden then wilted the garlic first before cooking in beef stock. Add a little five spice blend and serve. It would also work well with chicken stock.

Happy Foraging, there's plenty of it. 

Sea Urchin Soup

Sea Urchin Soup, looks great but it was just a little bit fishy for me.  I did feel sorry for the poor little blighter when I cut it open.  It's rather hit or miss with urchins, some and quite big when you cut them open others aren't.  This one was tiny. Cooked it with garlic and cream with a little fennel.  You can eat them raw, I might try that next time, if there is a next time??
