  • Shirazi salad on Hummus with freshly toasted crispy Pitta is my kind of everyday lunch. 

Some will say if you're not cutting your Shirazi Salad finely, then you're not doing it right. I say do you best, as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters. 

And don't forget to enjoy the juice.
Both recipes on the blog

  • My favourite way to eat hummus is loaded and right now the best combination is paired with Persian shirazi salad. 

Sharing a step by step on how I made this creamy hummus that I've been perfecting for years.

  • @peanutswirls Flourless Chocolate Cake is all you need in your life right now, in terms of cake anyway. This flourless Chocolate cake is the current obsession in our house. It's super rich and dense, needs no frosting. Of course it's gluten free and so i call it healthy Chocolate cake. I don't think I can ever even think of another Chocolate cake.

  • One Pot Sundried Tomato Chicken and Orzo 

I love this combination and it's something that appears on our weekly dinner menu more often than I'd like to admit. It's delicious, simple to prep (10 min) and quick to bake (30-40 min). It's one of those dishes you spent 10 min on and then u can forget about it. 

The parmesan crisping up on the chicken skin is sooo good.

  • This Dal Tadka is exactly what I wanted today. But I actually make a turkish lentil soup instead which is even simpler. I'll be shading the recipe for that soon. 

Right now it's incredibly cold and icy and all I want to eat is soup.

  • Mum's Persian Pepper Chicken served best with rice or freshly baked or toasted naan.

  • Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Coconut Curry is one of 1st and main vegan recipes I loved and still love dearly. I think its probably because its the comforting and hearty curry. High in protein because of the Chickpeas and full of vegetables. The fact that I love rice probably helps too. 

This is a 30min recipe, so really comes together in no time. I love it with a drizzle of lemon juice and side of ripe Avocado.

  • Baked Aubergine Kebab or Patlican kebab even though this recipe almost always has meat in it I don't know why that is excluded from the title. 

Nonetheless feel free to take the meat out, add more veggies, bake it all in the tomato sauce and make it fully vegan.

  • Zaatar olive walnut Dipping oil - also tempted to call it my green Dipping oil
Zeit and Zatar have always been a staple on a middle eastern breakfast table. But here's me glorifying it and elevating the classic by adding finely chopped walnuts, garlic thyme olives, fresh parsley. I also added dried mint, lemon juice zatar and good quality extra virgin olive oil. Also how cool that this is coincidentally vegan so happy veganuary.

  • Decorate my kitchen with me vlog

  • Creamy tomato garlic spinach and ricotta tortellini bake. I still remember the first time I made tortellini and it was over cooked and the insides came out. 

This one tray bake however is cooked to perfection. It's vegetarian

  • @peanutswirls Honey lemon turmeric ginger is truly liquid gold. Its the most warming drink during the cold season and it does wonders for our immune system. 

I brew a big batch like this in the morning and drink it throughout the day. If I don't finish it in 1 day I reheat woth more hot water and enjoy the rest.
