Zoals ik het op Instagram zette.
Today’s lunch… pure late summer vibes. ☀️ A toasted sandwich with grilled courgette - cooked straight over charcoal in a pan full of holes. I added garlic, fresh sage from the garden, olive juice, and lemon juice straight from the tree. Then a few slices of Spanish pancetta for that umami kick, a splash of soy juice, a couple of onion peels, and a handful of grated Manchego to melt all over the top. Smoky, salty, creamy, citrusy - everything at once. Honestly, this sandwich is heaven. Make it at home on your stove, or if you’re lucky… under the Spanish sun. Besos. #grilledcourgette #sandwichlove #spanishvibes #summerlunch #manchegocheese #pancetta #olivejuice #cookoutside #charcoalcooking #underthespanishsun #organicfood #simplefood #comfortfood #foodreel #cookwithlove #mula
