lazy cooking
As much as I rattle on about fresh, organic, seasonal, local…. there are times when washing, peeling and chopping is just a bore.
For those times, I’ve found a great way to save time, without cutting too many corners is to use ‘very lazy’ chillies and garlic (there are others available that I haven’t tried yet). The content of the jars are preprepared and finely chopped, just add to your cooking straight from the jar and avoid the wash/peel/chop yawn.
They are preserved in white wine vinegar and so last a long time, just be careful that the vinegar doesn’t add a tang to your dish - I wouldn’t use on uncooked dishes.
Available in all good supermarkets (probably!)
