Fatteh - Baked Aubergine with Roasted Chickpeas, Flatbread & Garlic Sauce

This is my take on Fatteh.....baked aubergine, roasted chickpeas, gluten free pitta , garlic lemon tahini yoghurt, cumin, parsley and sumac. I worked with a Palestinian client for four years, learning his family recipes and introducing him to my recipes. This is one (of many) I learnt during that time. I changed it a little by roasting the chickpeas in a little extra virgin olive oil and salt. They take on a lovely golden colour and become slightly crunchy. Get all of your ingredients ready in bowls around your plate and then stack it up!

Tomato & Radish Za'atar Salad

Argan oil has a taste like no other. It's distinctive flavour is a perfect match for ripe small tomatoes and fragrant za'atar. This is a dish where the combination of the ingredients is so perfect that every element shines.

Whole Smoked Cauliflower on a Bed of Millet

There are loads of recipes for whole roasted cauliflower but this one is smoked This one has a HUGE flavour with loads of spices INSIDE. A lot of recipes have flavour on the outside but not on the inside...cauliflower is such a mild flavour it really needs it!

Vegan Jackfruit (Fish-Free) Fish Fingers

Kids love these! Big kids love them too. The taste of the seaweed with the texture of the jackfruit makes this the perfect substitution for fish fingers. Plus it's a very easy recipe. Serve them with mashed potato and baked beans or steamed mangetout with capers and sliced avocado.
