Leek and Spinach Sabzi (6)

These persian omelettes are known as Kuku or Kookoo and would usually be baked in the oven. They are traditionally served at New Year and you can use any herbs you like in addition to parsley. The recipe is from ” A New Book of Middle Eastern Food” by Claudia Roden which remains one of my go to cook books, even after all these years.

Spring Bubble and Squeak (2)

Bubble and Squeak originated as a way to use up leftover vegetables from the sunday roast- usually potatoes and brussels sprouts. But it can be worth making from scratch- i love it for breakfast with a fried egg . This version is from Nigel Slater. Cavolo Nero, Tender Stemmed Broccoli or Purple Sprouting Broccoli make a good alternative to the cabbage.
