The Tiny Italian

Recipes / Salads and Side Dishes

Italian mozzarella, roasted lemon salad

WELCOME to the first recipe, created for you as part of a new TTI recipe series It’s a four-course dinner which feeds four people for ONLY £20.

The idea behind this series is to inspire others to host and cook for friends regularly if you don’t already, or to do it more often. What’s so fantastic about these recipes are that they are EASY, QUICK and SIMPLE, allowing you to host and spend more time with your friends rather than getting cooped up in the kitchen. And, of course, embraces the Mediterranean flavours of southern Italy that I love.

To start off with, we have a refreshing mozzarella, roasted lemon salad. So easy and simple this dish uses ingredients that remind me so much of summer lunches in Italy. It encompasses so many different flavours; creamy mozzarella, citrusy lemons, saltly anchovies and spicy chillis. I really feel like that it creates a real umami-ish experience. You will be licking your plate!

Total cost for 4 people: £4.70

Mozzarella, roasted lemon salad

  • First, prepare the lemon. PRE-HEAT the oven to 190C. Thinly SLICE 1 lemon. You will need at least 2/3 slices per person. PLACE on an oiled baking tray, DRIZZLE with a little more extra virgin olive oil and SEASON with salt. ROAST for 10-12 minutes until the outer skin has softened. Let it cool down.
  • Next, let’s create the dressing for the salad. SQUEEZE the juice of half a lemon; ADD and POUR approximately double amount of extra virgin olive oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.  You’re looking for a mild citrusy flavour.
  • In a bowl, DRESS the rocket leaves with half of the dressing. Set aside.
  • CHOP off each end of the chilli. HALVE it horizontally; SCRAPE and DESEED with a teaspoon; SLICE into long thin strips and FINELY DICE.
  • SLICE or TEAR the MOZZARELLA ball. You want at least 3/4 slices/chunks per person.
  • Finally to PLATE up, first LAY the dressed rocket leaves, followed by the mozzarella on top; then the roasted lemon. Next, HALVE the anchovy fillets and ARRANGE them top, SPRINKLE on the chilli and finally DRIZZLE more extra virgin olive oil.

Sharing your food around the table with your loved ones is one of cooking greatest gifts.
So by eliminating cooking with love you’re also eliminating those connections.
The last few years has taught many of us what really is important and no matter how busy life gets it’s important to not take for granted those around us and spend time where we can… cos life is sometimes a little bit too short to spend time worrying about the sh*t that really doesn’t matter in life.
Love should always come first.
Paola ❤️

SAVE THIS RECIPE WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED OF SEXY SELF CARE COOKING. 
This dish not only slaps in tonnes of flavour it’s the perfect delicious comforting reward after a busy day. 
It’s an easy and simple recipe to follow which is what we need after a busy day.  You need to try it if you enjoy these ingredients:
Peas
Spinach
Leeks
Pancetta
Gnocchi 
Lemon
Mascarpone (you can use any cream cheese)
Using @martini and @parmigianoreggianouk to make sure that this dish taste absolutely banging. And it really does. 
Plus my flat mates @microplaneintl made sure that I  only added the lemon zest and not the pith which can be bitter and affect the flavour of the dish. Everyone needs to get one. 
Anywhere enjoy guys.

Cooking can calm your mind.
However for some cooking can be so stressful and l may actively avoid it as it feels too much to do after a long busy day.
However over the years I have practised fun mindful cooking. Yes I did say Fun. 😂💃🏻
It takes time but it’s all about changing your mindset and attitude when it comes to cooking. Plus there are some practises that can help to calm your mind down and reduce the stress cooking can cause you. 
Instead of feeling like a chore it can help you  relax after a long busy day. It can help you focus on something else and forget about everything you have had to deal with that day. Plus you get to reward yourself with a delicious meal cooked with love. It’s the best feeling after a crazy busy day.
Working on something fun and helpful for you, but if you currently find cooking difficult or stressful would you mind sharing in the comment lor Dm me what is the main thing that makes it difficult for you. And I’ll take that into consideration when putting my new project together.
We will get this nation with love and your input will help make that change.

LETS GET THE NATION COOKING WITH LOVE. 
My mission is to help this nation of busy people to slow down where possible. Help transform their cooking relationship so that they can embrace the joys of mindful  home cooking as an easy accessible fun source of self care.
From personal experience when you’re busy running your own business or your job is a priority for you it can be difficult to make time for yourself.  Whatever your body and mind needs.
Unfortunately that doesn’t get you anywhere good. You just get into a deeper hole of ‘I don’t have time’ or ‘that won’t make a difference really’ or ‘I can’t make time for myself’. Cooking food becomes harder. You start to resent it, stresses you out and bring bouts of overwhelm. 
I know because I was that person. On many occasions. When I worked in a corporate environment and when trying to build my own business. It’s easy to forget what’s more important and that’s your happiness, health and joy. 
There are so many waysto bring wellness into your life, but cooking is what really changed my life and I’m here to help you too if you want to easily translate your love of food at home. Lose your unhealthy emotions with cooking and instead create a positive fun relationship.
This post is filled with recipes to hopefully inspire you to want to cook a meal that makes you feel good this coming week. I know it can’t be easy every day but making a small step in the right direction makes all the difference to how you feel.
