Asparagus with Eggs and Zaatar (2)

Here is another Palestinian recipe to make the most of the asparagus season. It’s from “Zaitoun” , a book of Palestinian stories and recipes by Yasmin Khan. It will serve up to six people as part of a mezze style spread with other dishes. The quality of the Za’atar is important, so go for the best you can find, and preferably a Middle Eastern brand.

Eggs with Spiced Tomato Gravy (4)

A quick supper especially if you have a glut of ripe tomatoes readily available. If you dont have fresh tomatoes use tinned whole plum tomatoes, drained of their liquid. If you like you can add peas to the gravy. You could also use mozzarella cheese instead of the eggs and finish under the grill. Serve with naan or bread to mop up the juices. The recipe is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan,
