Friends for supper last night, and I had not been wildly organised. One of the things I find hardest in the country is not having easy access to good fish (I'm not too keen on buying from the supermarket). Had some good fresh Cornish mackerel in the freezer, small, dark purple sweet peppers in the greenhouse, and our own onions hanging in the garage - enough, along with smoked sweet paprika, plenty of garlic and some short grain brown rice to make a pleasing fishy paella. Perfect with Sam's Ottolenghi preserved lemons that she'd brought as a gift, and a rocket salad on the side, along with some of the few ripe tomatoes from the greenhouse.
