  • Spicy red pepper dip & crispy harissa mince

    Spicy red pepper dip & crispy harissa mince

    This is my interpretation of an amazing dish, muhammara, a spicy Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut dip. It’s very easy to pull together, especially if you use a jar of roasted peppers. I’ve topped mine with crispy harissa mince for a more complete meal, but if you leave it out it’s perfect for parties, served with crudités or pitta breads, or spread on the inside of sandwiches.

    Takeaway-style mushrooms & ‘egg’

The secret is the bicarbonate of soda which magically combines with the starchy water to produce that distinctive egg-like flavour. To make the meal more substantial, top with crispy tofu or add more veg.
