It was National Healthy Eating week last week. If I were a more organised blogger I would have had some great post to tie in with it. Well, here it is.
Dal (or dahl*) is fantastic because it's cheap, tasty, adaptable and full of protein. It's also great because both our children will eat it (well, providing that Eliot is in the mood to eat anything apart from biscuits.)
The DIY in this recipe stands for 'Do It Yesterday'. Having a second child means that our dinner time has gone forward to about 5:45. Because we value eating together as a family it means we either need to eat something that can be cooked quickly (like spaghetti in tomato sauce, our eternal standby) or something that's already been prepared. So we're working on a repertoire of 'Do It Yesterday' dishes. I tend to cook something up on a Sunday evening to eat later on in the week - tonight I will be cooking Jack Monroe's Pork Kokkinisto to eat together tomorrow.
