Cypriot Keftedes (6)

I was reminded how delicious these meatballs are on a recent visit to the island. I was served a very generous portion which I managed to devour in a restaurant in Platres. They are also very good served cold the following day. This recipe is from ” Home Food” by Olia Hercules.Serve with a salad or stuffed into a pitta with some shredded lettuce, ripe tomatoes , sliced red onions and green pepper, grated feta and tzatziki.

Stir Fried Pork with Basil (2)

This is a relatively mild version of the Thai classic Pad Kra Pao but if you like you could add three or four more garlic cloves and extra chillies. The recipe is from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. Its a quick dish to prepare and cook so makes a great midweek supper,

Pork Cooked in Milk (6)

Another easy recipe from ” River Cafe 30″ by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray. I love the simplicity of many of their recipes – just a few ingredients and easy cooking methods. This could be served with some mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

These Moorish skewers are a popular tapas in Andalucia, Spain. You will need 4-8 skewers, depending on their length, and could use lamb instead of pork if preferred. The recipe is from ” Moro:the Cookbook” by Sam and Sam Clark.
