A favourite spanish dish from ” The Cooking of Spain” by Elizabeth Luard. It is best made when the broad beans are small and tender and the pods can be included. You can use older podded beans or frozen ones if later in the season. It is lovely with thick slices of bread, rubbed with garlic and trickled with olive oil. Any leftovers, drained of extra juices, make a very good tortilla.
A Moroccan soup from the fabulous Moro. You can add spinach if you like. The lemon can be replaced with 150g yoghurt spiced with 3/4 tsp ground cumin and salt.
I love this simple recipe from Moro. Years ago my work colleagues treated me to a meal in their Exmouth Market restaurant for my 50th birthday present. I can still remember the Yoghurt Cake with Pistachios to this day.
This recipe for crashed eggs originates from Madrid where they would usually be served at lunch or dinner. I prefer them for a weekend breakfast or brunch.
