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.
This recipe from Diana Henry makes a delicious vegetarian or vegan supper for 2, or will feed more if served as a side vegetable. I like to serve it with a fried egg, or some burrata cheese to accompany, but these are optional.
An easy seasonal recipe from Nigel Slater. It serves 2 as a main course but would serve 4 as a side. I replaced the plain couscous with a quick cook packet of Moroccan couscous. I think a packet of Lemon and Coriander Couscous would work well too.
This is a great recipe for April when the first of the English Asparagus and new potatoes are in the shops. Its from ” Three Good Things” by Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall.
