Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This is based on fattoush, the popular salad enjoyed in the Lebanon and Syria, and it makes a satisfying main dish. It's important to grill the pitta bread until it is really crisp and golden or it will quickly become soggy when mixed with the other ingredients. The dressing adds the distinctive flavours of olives, anchovy and garlic.

Popular throughout the Middle East, this thick and chunky Arab omelette is served flat, not rolled or folded, and is more like a cake. It is packed with vegetables and chickpeas, and is equally delicious hot or cold – ideal for a picnic. Serve with a simple tomato and red onion salad, and garlic flat bread.

Toasted pitta bread pieces are tossed with crisp cos lettuce, spring onions, cucumber, fresh tomatoes and a flavourful Middle Eastern dressing in this salad. Sumac, a traditional spice, is available from Middle Eastern grocers. It may be left out of this salad, but I think the flavour is important to the overall taste.

Marinating is the key to success for these tender, juicy and sweet-tasting kebabs. Just half an hour will add delicious flavours to the lamb, although overnight is better if you have time. Serve with a leafy mixed salad, and a bowl of plain low-fat yogurt mixed with grated cucumber and chopped fresh mint and flat-leaf parsley.
