Not a good start!

Have not done well in keeping up with this blog but have to say that the thought of it has at least made me think about my ethical score each day.
Anyway the tilapia was lovely and cooked it simply in some garlic, butter, olive oil and lemon in a frying pan and some organic rice to eat with it.
That brings me to how I am trying to food shop. I was told a way to approach ethical food shopping by using my LOAF. That means buying . . .
Local

Organic

Animal Friendly

Fairtrade          
as far as possible.
It was a good week as far as that went. I adapted a recipe I had saved from The Guardian Saturday magazine from Yotam Ottolenghi.
It is a mixture of fried onions (local), cooked green lentils (organic), basmati rice (organic) all cooked together with cumin & coriander seed, cinnamon, turmeric and sugar (Fairtrade). Served with a cucumber and yoghurt salad and a glass of rose wine. It all went down very well. Here's a picture of the finished dish. 
The leftover lentils went into Thai spiced lentil rissoles which worked well and as we like vegetarian food it felt better eating more sustainable ingredients and using left-overs!
Well that's it for now. 
Ethical shopping in next blog when I share news of my favourite shop with you.
