I made this delicious Turkish salad recently to accompany a Persian Sabzi Kuku but it would traditionally be served with Cacik and Turkish bread. This version is from ” Persiana” by Sabrina Ghayour.
A delicious side from Claire Thomson’s excellent ” Home Cookery Year”. Use the ripest tomatoes or you can use two 400g cans of drained plum tomatoes as an alternative. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Here is another recipe for potatoes from Claire Thomson’s ” New Kitchen Basics”. The potatoes cook in the liquid soaking up the juices and turning soft and flavoursome. Any remaining oil should be spooned over the potatoes before serving.
Last nights supper was this easy curry from ” New Kitchen Basics” by Claire Thomson. She suggests serving with plain rice or Indian flatbreads, but i substituted couscous and that worked well. Either way accompany with some Indian chutney and/or pickles if you have them.
I already have a version of Spaghetti Vesuvius on this site, but this version from Sophie Grigson’s ” Sunshine Food” is good when fresh tomatoes are in season. You want the ripest, fully flavoured tomatoes for this.
A delicious Georgian soup from ” Kaukasis The Cookbook” by Olia Hercules.. Both the rice and the eggs are optional, but if you do use the eggs eat all the soup on the day of cooking.
