Week in Nerja, loads of great tapas, cooked in most days, burgers, prawns and fajitas. A few pictures below, one great new find - pescaderia el arteseno a fishmonger / tapas bar, did not smell fishy, people eating, others buying and taking home, had a fiduela with clams and a handful of mussels as tapas, all they had was wine, cans of beer and still water, really authentic, did not smell fishy as all fresh. Went to Malaga for a night, went to usual places, booked Tapas de Cervantes, good, but not as fantastic as other times, but it has been perfect many times, still has one obnoxious waiter who always annoys, but owner is lovely and still v good and cheap. Saw a tweet saying one day was work tripe day, so found a bar with callos, so happy
Nothing good coming up will try and do a bit of cooking after loads of docorating

meatballs
Took a Jamie recipe, pesto meatballs, instead of his rolls, did bucatini:
Really loved them, San not as impressed but OK. Made some dahl for lunches, but mostly painted for weekend so little fun.

curry and lemon
Saw a lovely looking simple recipe for charred preserved lemon in Irish times Magazine this week, but can't find it online. Made it but haven't tasted it yet.
3 (unwaxed) lemons, mine weren't so had to de-wax them
4 bay leaves
tsp pink peppercorns
tsp salt
tsp coriander seeds
Halve lemons and grill (recipe said do it on proper BBQ grill, but not available. About 10 minutes on each side, until caramelised - I used blow torch on them to get a bit more colour.
into a clean sterilised kilner jar with all other ingredients for at least three days, so should be OK now, will try at weekend.
Made a thali (mixed Indian small bowls / plates) at weekend
Lamb curry, lentil curry, rice, chapati, red onion / tomato salad, tomato relish, raiti, brinjali pickle (from a jar), chilli pickle, bombay potatoes.
Had a couple of chapatis left, so I filled them with left over lentil curry and have shallow fried, like a savoury pancake - tomorrow's lunch.
Nothing planned for this weekend, more decorating and think about packing for hols week after
