I love the taste of Middle Eastern food, so when I saw Vegetarian Dishes from the Middle East by Arto der Haroutunian, I knew I had to have a copy! Flicking through the pages causes my mouth to water! Some cheap aubergines led me to make mutabbal (which is similar very to baba ganoush - imagine hummus but with aubergine rather than chickpeas). Delicious, especially with some roast onion, courgette & pepper spicy cous cous. And to help eat the parsley stems, today we brought home a new beastie, perfect for the job!
Today is the longest day & the sun is shinning. Perfect for tasty salads. Firstly sprouting beans, carrot, red pepper, celery, cucumber & lettuce. Mixed with a little oil & balsamic vinegar. I love the colours - truly a feast for the eyes! Secondly veggie chorizo, cherry tomato, pesto & cous cous. Very more-ish! Served with a feta & olive pasty from the fantastic Grassroots. Enjoy the sunshine :)
