A version of this Greek favourite from Georgina Hayden and great when you have a glut of tomatoes. Its good served as a brunch with pitta bread or toast, but can also be served as part of a larger spread.
Loaded chips to enjoy when you are in newed of comfort. Instead of tuna you could load these with Salsa Roja and Pickled Onions or with Mexican Sauce and Spring Onion Salsa. You need a flat baking tray and you want to spread the potatoes out as much as possible to crisp and colour evenly. The recipe is fro ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage.
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.
