I met with Rose, Gee and @aviddetention to learn about immigration detention. Rose described her experiences of the system and its lasting effects, while she cooked the meal that she missed the most in detention - jollof rice. 
  As we witness the dehumanisation of immigrants and refugees around the world, I’ve been reflecting on our meeting. The violent and barbaric actions of ICE in the US have shaken all of us with conscience and in the UK just last month, protests in detention centres from people seeking asylum were met with officers armed with riot shields, dogs and tear gas. 
  Since I met Rose, Gee and the AVID team, immigration detention has expanded and worsened. AVID’s role is to support independent visitors to provide solidarity, emotional and practical support to people in detention across the UK. As a collective, they work together to challenge the use of detention and raise awareness.   They’re currently raising funds to continue their vital work.

My curried tuna ragù that many of you know and love BUT made extra special with deeply fragrant fresh curry leaves 🍃   Ragù 2 x 160g tins tuna in olive oil (not in brine/vinegar!!) About 15 fresh picked curry leaves 200g sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes  80g tomato paste/puree 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped 1 Scotch bonnet (optional, if you like heat) 150 twists black pepper  10g parsley, finely chopped ½ tsp medium curry powder ¼ tsp chilli flakes ¼ tsp chipotle flakes ¼ tsp fine sea salt Everything else 3 tbsp olive oil Large handful fresh picked curry leaves
350g fussili (or another dried pasta) 60g parmesan, finely grated 80g double cream or 2 egg yolks, whisked
 Add 3 tbsp olive oil to a small sauce pan. Once hot, add a good handful of fresh curry leaves and cook, swirling, until they’re bright green and crispy. 30 secs - 1 min. Strain the oil into a large saucepan and set the crispy curry leaves aside to serve. 
Add all the ragù ingredients to the pan with the curry leaf oil (including the oil from the tuna tins). Over a medium-high heat, stir-fry for about 8 mins- squashing the tomatoes with the back of a spoon as they start to soften- until they completely break down into the sauce. Turn off the heat while you cook the pasta. Cook pasta until al dente in salted boiling water. Add the cooked pasta to the ragù, along with 300ml pasta cooking water. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the parmesan and double cream/egg yolks and mix well to combine. Check seasoning, you may want to add more salt if your pasta water wasn’t very salty. Squeeze the Scotch bonnet into the sauce before removing it (or finely chop it up and stir into the pasta if you like heat). Transfer to a platter and top with plenty of olive oil, parmesan and black pepper. Finish with the crispy curry leaves and serve.
