Veggie Mains


Veggie Mains













Great! Possibly the dish I make more than any other.









Falafels - Jerusalem
No online recipe, sadly, will post it eventually. Quite a revelation...so different from store-bought ones. Goes really well with some salad, pita, and Ottolenghi's hummous and zhoug.



Another staple. Even kids like this one. Egyptian street food with rice, lentils, noodles, cinnamon and nutmeg topped with fried onions and a spicy tomato sauce.






You would think this would be too much starch, but it’s not.






Orecchiette with broccoli - Carluccio

Orecchiette with cherry tomatoes - Carluccio




Strange cooking with chocolate but it works.






Really good but Ottolenghi’s are better.



With almonds and basil.
