This book gets all stars from me.
Easy
The recipes are exactly what the name suggests.
What isnt simple is the flavor that is obtained, and for that I am always grateful.
All the flair and flavor of a Ottolenghi cookbook, with the ease of beginners instruction.
I other words, perfect for all.
Additionally, there are chapters on SIMPLE meal suggestions, menus for feasts, and ingredients.
I doubt there is an easier recipe in the book.
If you love the cold/hot thing, you will love this one.
One dish delight
I also made Soba Noodles with Lime, Cardamom, and Avocado.
Another one-dish delight that only gets better with age, if there are any leftovers that is.
While the noodles are cooking, everything else comes together quickly in one bowl.
olive oil, 34 tsp.
cumin seeds, 12 tsp.
Mix well, then place in a baking sheet or pan just large enough to hold everything snugly.
Mine didnt take quite this long.
While the tomatoes are roasting, combine the yoghurt with 12 tsp.
of lemon zest from the other half of the lemon and 14 tsp.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once cooked, refresh under cold running water and let drain well.
With the back of a knife, crush 12 green cardamom pods and remove the seeds.
Scrape the seeds into a mortar and pestle and crush.
You should have about a half teaspoon.
lime juice, 3 tbsp.
salt, and the crushed cardamom seeds.
