Anna Jones’ 30-minute recipes | The Modern Cook
Two recipes for the time-poor: a potato, leek and chickpea traybake with a quick romesco and herby polenta topped with asparagus and a poached egg
Almost every meal I cook these days comes in at under 30 minutes. A side effect of my impatience perhaps, but more likely it’s the reality of being one of a pair of working parents. Dinner is a quick, post-work family meal, or something cookable in the time it takes the other to do bathtime. Kids or not, we are all short on time to shop and cook. The potato traybake packs in lots of flavour for the time it takes to prepare, thanks to the quick romesco. The other is a spring favourite and a perfect way to make a meal of seasonal asparagus, though it’d be good with broccoli too. Now, I’d better get on with dinner.
