Warm grain, chickpea and aubergine salad with saffron yogurt recipe
Kamut, otherwise known as khorasan wheat, is an ancient grain. The grains are quite large (sometimes up to three times bigger than modern wheat) and have a buttery kind of taste that works well with really big flavours (harissa, preserved lemons, blush tomatoes, green olives), though you do have to soak it overnight before cooking. You can find kamut in wholefood stores or online. Or use spelt, farro or barley. Source link

Salad of crab and oranges with nam jim dressing recipe
A simple but full-flavoured dish to wake up the taste buds, with sweet-sharp citrus and a punchy dressing that’s hot, sour, salty and sweet all at the same time. Grapefruit can also be used in this salad instead of blood oranges. Hold on to the recipe for the Thai nam jim dressing here – it’s good for spooning over roast or griddled fish as well. Source link

You should have quite a smooth mixture. Cover and set aside. Source link
Chinese-style chicken and egg fried rice
Woks in our home kitchens never get as hot as they do in restaurants, where they have a lot of power under them – so dishes like this won’t be as perfect as they could be. Unless you’ve grown up stir-frying, it’s hard to get it right too. All those different elements cooked in one pan? You have to think about how much time each one needs. Nevertheless, I have, over the years, managed to do chicken and egg fried rice in a way that works, at least for the family on a weeknight. I cook the dish in stages and do the eggs in a separate pan, otherwise I end up with rice and scrambled eggs. I don’t even think about making this with freshly cooked rice (it will just get sticky). I use Chinese chilli bean paste in other dishes too, so don’t feel buying it is a waste of money. The alcohol is my own thing (goodness knows what Ken Hom would think) but I love its flavour with ginger. You can …
