Nigella Express: Episode 13

We struck some serious Nigella gold last night. Not only was this recipe ridiculously easy, but it was SO good. I have never been so excited to eat spinach in my life.

Here it is, the champion of recent Nigella attempts: Moonblush Tomato, Goat Cheese and Spinach Salad.

So what makes this salad so delicious? Well first there is the goat cheese, or the crown jewel as Nate called it last night.


Second, the moonblush tomatoes. Now some of you may be whipping our your handy dandy gardeners reference to find out what a moonblush tomato is. But in reality it is just a small, on the vine tomato (cut in half), with olive oil, Thyme, pepper, salt and a little bit of sugar sprinkled on top.


You throw these suckers in a 450 degree oven, and then immediately turn the oven off and let them sit in the oven all night long. The result is delicious.


And bonus, if you suck at reading directions like Nate and I do and decide to make the salad at 6PM and only after prepping everything realize the tomatoes require 24 hours, they are delicious warm out of the over too!
