A recipe from ” Nigella Christmas” by Nigella Lawson. She suggests serving it with hot or cold ham, turkey, roast goose or roast pork. Make sure you use unadulterated, unsweetend pomegranate juice. It improves with a bit of keeping so can be made in advance and reheated. One less thing to do when preparing the big meal!
A delicious side for autumn and winter. It’s from ” The Abel & Cole Veg Box Companion” by Keith Abel. It can be made a day or two in advance and be reheated. It also freezes well.
A simple Turkish salad which goes well with kebabs but can be served to accompany many things or as part of a salad spread. It’s from ” Moro Easy” by Sam and Sam Clark.
A slaw for any season from ” The Saffron Tales ” by Yasmin Khan. It goes very well with roast chicken or turkey, but also as part of a salad table. I served it with lamb burgers and new potatoes today.
An easy recipe from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage. You can serve it alongside some tofu, roast chicken or grilled fish or prawns. For a quick midweek dinner serve topped with a fried egg.
A recipe from Nigel Slater to serve with bread and cheese, ham or even sushi. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge, unless you are like my husband who could probably demolish this amount within a week or so.
