An old favourite from Madhur Jaffrey’s ” Quick and Easy Indian Cookery.” If you dont have a pressure cooker you can use an ordinary pan. Add 6 fl oz water and cook covered for 50 minutes before uncovering and boiling down the liquid.
These Cheesy Curried Beans from Yotam Ottolenghi make a quick and easy brunch, lunch or supper . They are best 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 very good way with this vegetable from Abel & Cole ” How to Eat Brilliantly Every Day”. If you like you can fold the grated veg through the warm oil while it is still in the pan.
An ancient recipe for an addictive Ukranian drink which can also be used to add a sour note to Borsch and other dishes. The recipe is from ” Summer Kitchens” by Olia Hercules and makes 3 x 700 ml bottles.
