Basically, chili con carne sides.
Bert has chickenpox. We’re on day two of being confined inside with a very spotty toddler who feels perfectly well and has his normal levels of lunacy energy.
I’m spending £20 a day on Amazon Prime dinosaur jigsaws.
For the bread:
300g polenta
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
200g cheddar, grated
150ml plain yoghurt
8 tablespoons warm water
For the guacamole:
1 ripe avocado, peeled and stoned, roughly chopped and crushed with the back of a fork
Juice of half a lime
1 medium sized tomato, roughly chopped
1 spring onion, roughly chopped
Salt to taste
Drizzle of olive oil
For the bread: combine the polenta, salt, baking powder and grated cheese in a bowl, then stir through the yoghurt and water to make a dough. Press into a baking tray to about 2-3 cm deep and bake at 180 (bottom rungs of the Aga roasting oven) for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown.
Combine all the guacomole ingredients. Do not expect your toddler to respond with anything but ‘bleurgh’.
Arlo the Good Dinosaur ate quite a lot, but Bert just ate rice and cheese.
