Glutton at home

Thanks to the awesome Glasgow weather, Glutton opted to stay in this weekend so I thought I'd share some of my eats with you.

Saturday was a lazy lunch courtesy of Morrisons supermarket!  They had a lovely selection of deli treats, so I put together an antipasti platter with meats, stuffed peppers and pickles.  A board of cheese, pate, quiche and chutney was also delicious and I finished the feast off with tapenade, grissini and oatcakes.  Very tasty and very simple!



Kept it simple for dinner as well, a starter of scallops, asparagus and pancetta with an anchovy butter was divine and a dish I'll be making again and again.  It was all done in one pan and only took about ten minutes from start to finish.



Main course was mussels in a spicy tomato sauce served with crusty bread, again an easy dish apart from cleaning the mussels which is a slight labour of love. 



My shellfish was purchased from the sublime MacCallums which remains my favourite fishmonger in Glasgow.  They had a great selection when I went yesterday and you can also get a good range of game, fresh veg (their wild mushrooms are wonderful) as well as some nice deli items. 

Hopefully our summer will start soon and I can look forward to some al fresco dining!
