My local chef and food writer Claire Thomson published her latest book ” Tomato” last month and as always I have found so many recipes I want make . The chapter on salads has many good ideas for the unprecedented hot weather we are currently experiencing and this simple and refreshing salad is the first recipe I tried.
A very good salad from ” Jamie’s Dinners” by Jamie Oliver. You can use different spices or add in some sun dried tomatoes ans chorizo sausages if you like.
A quick version of this favourite vegetarian dish from Kerala, known in India as Handvo. Serve with some salad alongside, or just as a snack. This is from ” I Love India” by Anjum Anand.
A spicy bean stew which is often eaten for breakfast throughout the Middle East and North Africa. In 1980 I spent a month in Egypt staying in youth hostels and with very little money, and this is what we ate, daily. This version is from ” The Little Book of Brunch” by Caroline Craig and Sophie Missing.
