    Recipe Falafel (Lebanese Chickpea Croquettes)

    To be honest, I don't measure ingredients for falafel, so the ingredients list will be a bit vague on this. When I make them, I just take a packet of chickpeas, soak them, then guess how much of every other ingredient I'm going to add. The good thing is, the cooked falafel will freeze...

    Recipe Mujadara with Charred Cabbage

    Mudjadara* is a lovely comfort food from the Middle-East. It reminds me of Indian Kitchiri which is claimed to be the origin of British Kedgeree.
