Traditionally, Khoresh Karafs is made using chicken, so I switched out the chicken for tofu. I'd frozen and defrosted the tofu previously (it really helps tofu absorb flavour), then drained and dried the tofu in advance. I'd recommend that you do the same, especially if you're unconvinced about...
The ingredient quantities in this are very flexible. It can easily be scaled up or down as needed. If you've only 2 courgettes and 2 aubergine, no problem. It will still work quite happily.
You'll see sugar in the list of ingredients. I often use it in tomato dishes as a seasoning, exactly in...
This is not really a Mexican rice recipe, but that is what it was called back in the 1980s. I used to make this back when I was a single working mom. It was cheap, had protein, veges, and carbs. Best of all, it was only a little prep and fast!
Recipe can be doubled. Leftovers are still...
This is one of those dishes that very definitely improves with cooling and reheating. I'd suggest serving it with a flatbread and some yoghurt plus some protein.
Ingredients
100g uncooked basmati rice, rinsed
3 aubergines (roughly 1¼kg)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely sliced
6 garlic...

So with no electricity today, I've had to be more creative than usual and our evening meal is currently on the BBQ.
Yep, I had to clean it first, I had to remove quite a bit of insect life that I didn't need to cook (they didn't get any further than my helpers) and no second chances if you...
This recipe is based on the one in the Vegan Food & Living magazine Jan 2023 which is from Annabelle Randles from the Flexitarian.co.uk.
It is vegan, it's raw hence requires no cooking, it's gluten free and it's very tasty.
We've added to it and altered the quantities slightly because we...
Whenever I make chili, cumin plays a significant role. I like being able to taste it, and this preparation was going to be no different than past occasions...except that I couldn't find the cumin. I have a massive container somewhere...some reorganizing was done recently (not by me), and this...
We had this dish for the first time at an Italian-American neighbor's home. Craig absolutely loved it.
I'm glad for the potato pick as it reminded me of this dish. We haven't had it in a really long time. It was on our weekly menu prior to Craig's issue so will remain after he comes home...
In the US, fried green tomatoes are a joyful part of summer, and what better way to showcase them other than putting them on a sandwich? BLTs (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) sandwiches are quite popular here in the US as well, so why not substitute the ripe, red tomato for crispy, flavorful fried...
This super simple recipe makes a bright, flavorful, and tangy spread for sandwiches! I used fresh Roma tomatoes from our garden, roasted garlic, goat cheese, and some mayonnaise along with a red jalapeño pepper for some extra zip, You could always omit the jalapeño if you are sensitive or...

I saw this recipe on a tin of East End chickpeas that I bought from Waitrose.
I'm thinking of doubling the tomatoes and adding an aubergine with just a 50% increase in the chickpeas. Can I just slice it the aubergine and add it or should I stab it a few times with a knife or fork then roast to...
