Hariyali Murgh Green Chicken
Sunday, February 11, 2024 |
|
Hariyali Murgh or green chicken, a classic Northern Indian dish, is chicken coated in a green sauce, typically made with green chilli, coriander, mint leaves, yoghurt and spices. It is hearty, flavourful, and so delicious served with rice, naan or chapati. I used chicken thighs, but chicken breast or drumsticks all work. The cooking time might vary. You can cube the chicken and thread them together to make chicken skewers too.
Seedy Kamut Bread
Friday, February 09, 2024 |
|
This simple bread recipe uses a straight bread dough method. That means that you just combine all ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix. Though it's basic, the mix of flours (kamut, buckwheat and rye) and seeds (poppy, flax, pepita and sesame) gives the bread an interesting and multilayered taste, texture and aroma.
Kamut is nothing other than the ancient ancestor of our modern wheat, i.e. it belongs to the so-called heirloom grains, which was already used to bake daily bread about 6,000 years ago. Strictly speaking, kamut, aka khorasan wheat, is a cultivated form of durum wheat, which is derived from wild emmer. They resemble conventional wheat, but are about twice as large. Kamut is extremely nutritious, easy to digest, and tastes mild and slightly nutty.

Thursday, February 01, 2024Halloumi Muffins with Basil and Nigella Seeds
Tuesday, January 30, 2024 |
|
A simple savoury muffin recipe made with spelt, nigella seeds, basil and Halloumi cheese. They are fantastic picnic food and perfect as a healthy lunch box treat, delicious eaten alongside a soup or a stew, or make a very tasty addition to a brunch table.
They are best eaten on the day they're baked – ideally fresh from the oven, but they will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze for up to a month. As muffins need to be worked as little as possible so that the texture stays light and tender, keep the amount of stirring you do to a minimum.
Parmesan Leek Quiche

|
A spicy twist on the classic French Parmesan Leek quiche, this savoury tart is packed with rich flavours of leek and parmesan and the perfect treat for your family and guests! If desired, cook the sliced leeks briefly with a tablespoon of butter first before adding to the filling. I have topped the filling with a couple of chilli peppers and black seeds, but you can exercise your imagination adding other toppings (olives, mushrooms are great). Replace the Parmesan with Grana Padano if you like. Use your favorite store-bought crust or make your own like this keto crust or buttery Gruyere crust.

An easy, versatile vegetable side dish with plenty of crunch, tossed with a tangy dressing made with lemons, garlic, dill and fennel seeds. Long flat runner beans taste very much like green beans, but the broader surface area, stringless, and firm texture make them ideal for grilling. They take on char while retaining their shape. Add prosciutto, parmesan or nuts for the topping if you fancy.
