1868. Candied Walnut Salad


We had this salad on repeat during Ramadan; it was that good. The candied walnuts with the sharpness of the onion combined with the earthiness of the beetroot on a bed of mixed lettuce or peppery rocket leaves could not be beat.

1867. Nectarine Preserves


When I see a jam or preserves recipe that has added pectin, I think that they didn't add this hundreds of years ago, so why should we now? The reality is, fruit naturally contains pectin, the component that helps a jam to gel up. Different fruit have different concentration, and hence need various simmering times.

1866. Fava Mince Meat Rice


This is a comforting way in Arabian cuisine to present "fast food": a rice dish featuring some kind of vegetable (fava in this case, but peas, carrot, and pulses are also  common), a protein (minced meat in this case, but shredded chicken or shrimp also work), and a chockful of fried nuts (cashews here, but think: almonds, pinenuts, etc).

1865. Turkish Chicken Carrot Soup


I love learning new recipes from the oddest of places and people; I consider it a blessing. This Turkish carrot chicken soup is apparently very common in Turkiye, and is mostly that healing chicken soup for when people get sick.

Shrimp pasta is something we would order outside and rarely make home. No need when it is this simple and tasty to make.

1861. Wheetabix Overnight Yogurt


This is a healthy and nutritious way to start the day whether breakfast of suhur: layers of whole grain soaked in milk, topped with protein-rich greek yogurt, and a final touch of fruit cooked down and thickened with chia seeds and sweetened with honey.
