A spicy tomato rich stir fry from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. She also has a new book out called ” The Asian Pantry” which I have added to my wish list. This is good accompanied with her Garlicky Green Beans.
A hearty vegetarian soup from Tajikstan which I found in ” Samarkand” by Caroline Eden and Eleanor Ford. As an alternative to the herb paste you can add a dollop of herbed Suzma or you can just stir in some chopped greens for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
This spicy kabab inside a bun is a very popular street food in some regions of India and can be cooked on a barbecue if you prefer. Lamb or minced beef can be used instead of chicken, but you may need to adjust the cooking time. You can add Pineapple and Chilli Chutney, Coriander and Mint Chutney or Garlic and Chilli chutney.The recipe is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan.
These Cheesy Curried Beans from Yotam Ottolenghi make a quick and easy brunch, lunch or supper . They arebest made with jarred beans but you can also use a tin. A 400g tin gives about 300g beans, so I increase the cream and cheese to take this into account. You could add extra spicing if you like.
A recipe from ” Wahaca Mexican Food at Home ” by Thomasina Miers. They are a great hangover cure and you can vary the amount of chilli to make them as mild or spicy as you like. Serve with some Roast Tomato Salsa .
A classic South African recipe which is good served with a Tomato and Onion Salad. Any leftover filling will be even more delicious the next day served with rice or salad. It’s from Nokx Majozi and I found it in ” Chefs at Home” . The book was written to support Hospitality Action during Lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, and contains recipes from UK based chefs.
