One of the things I remember most about the Costa
del Sol was the lemons and fig trees, dropping down on to the paths and bending
heavy branches overhead. So I had to use these as my main ingredients! As it’s
for cooking on holiday I wanted something that could be prepared in 5 minutes
and left and just tasted divine!
Prep
time is less than ten minutes for a fruity, tasty, easy and cheap local dish!
£2.75 per person which includes a starter, a main & bottle of beautiful Spanish
wine! After all who on their holiday wants to spend any time over a hot stove?
We
got as much as could out our local farmers shop but of course you could head
straight to a market!
My
recipes come from gorgeous writer – “Just south of Malaga”
