Comfort food, often has the guise of heavy stodgy dishes, don’t get me wrong, they comfort me too, but many a time, you need food to lift your spirits, visually & emotionally..and longing for summer after many a rainy day, I wanted a little sunshine on my plate, with no fuss, no cooking and ready in an instant.
Slicing up a couple of vine ripened toms, a crisp red onion, a log of the creamiest goats cheese, a handful of black olives, a sprinkling of coriander & parsley from the veggie patch, a drizzle of the fruitiest sweetest olive oil, a touch of maldon & a squeeze of balsamic…
Voila, ya esta , hey presto…
Heaven on a plate 🙂
That is beautiful! And you’re right why should meat and potatoes or carrots be required for comfort food.
I think of comfort food, of dishes that make me feel good, and transport me to another place. They always need a little substance though, hence the huge log of goats cheese :). Thanks for your comments, Buen Provecho
