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.

Armenian Chard and Lentil Soup (4)

I recently spent a week in Armenia and was pleasantly surprised by the food there- especially when eating in family ” restaurants” in local villages. I came home seeking out Armenian recipes so i could try more of their food back in the UK. This is from ” Home Food” by Olia Hercules.
