A quick and bright tasting supper from ” Tender:Volume 1″ by Nigel Slater. You need to be brave when cooking the meat- fry till it glistens and is almost crisp before you add the remaining ingredients. I like to use purple sprouting broccoli but any fresh broccoli will do nicely.
A stir fry from the southern tip of Malaysia with influences from China and India . Prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking as you need to work quickly.The recipe is from ” Madhur Jaffrey’s Ultimate Curry Bible”
A recipe with Persian influences from the Sindh region of Pakistan to serve with rice and pickles of your choice. The souring ingredient is the dried persian lime which you can get in middle eastern grocers or many supermarkets. To use, crack open and discard the black insides and any seeds, then lightly crush the dried pulp. The recipe is from ” Madhur Jaffrey’s Ultimate Curry Bible”.
A simple squash curry for a chilly evening from ” Hugh’s Three Good Things” by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. If you like you can add some chopped green beans to the curry 8-10 minutes before the end of cooking to add more colour and texture.
A delicious side from Claire Thomson’s excellent ” Home Cookery Year”. Use the ripest tomatoes or you can use two 400g cans of drained plum tomatoes as an alternative. Serve warm or at room temperature.
