Warm grain, chickpea and aubergine salad with saffron yogurt recipe

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

Whipped beetroot dip with radishes recipe

Whipped beetroot dip with radishes recipe

Beetroot makes a great, colourful dip, but with this method you can use any root vegetable, from carrot to squash, and even spice things up with a little chilli or ginger if you wish. Try it topped with toasted chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of the Egyptian spice and nut blend dukkah, too. I’ve served this with simple new-season radishes but you could use any vegetable crudités or flatbread. Requires cooling time Source link

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
