Welcome to the very first Designersblock Dish of the day, an occasional column celebrating the locality and giving thanks for what’s on our plates. When the mornings and nights start drawing in there’s nothing like the friendly shop down the road as a source of variety and nourishment, we can recommend The Express Convenience Store on Kingsland Road, this dish doesn’t taste the same if you make it with supermarket ingredients, this is a dish to lift the spirits on any winters afternoon. A contemporary take on the classic Spanish Fabbada.
