This Vietnamese 'sandwich' Banh Mi is the perfect example that cooking should not have bounderies because delicious things can happen when two food cultures meet. The special baguette, soft and crunchy, the juicy pork belly together with the tangy pickled carrots and reddish, the fresh coriander and the creamy pate, the crisp cucumbers, the home made mayonnaise and the spicy sauce are creating a firework of textures and tastes. It takes some time but it's sooooo much worth it!!
Whenever I am longing for a nice filling dish with meat, the Khoresh Gheymeh (Persian Stew) is one of my favorites. It takes a bit of a time, so make a bit more cause its so much worth it and you will be happy to enjoy this wonderfully balanced dish also the next day (if there are left overs)!
You want to surprise your guests? Than go for this vegan cauliflower oven recipe! Perfect with Taboule, Humus, Feta ... delicious and easy to prepare. I often prepare a mix of minced garlic, salt, a bit of cayenne pepper and Raz El-Hanout, a spice mix used in the Magreb, together with the olive oil which adds when rubbed onto the cauliflower a lovely taste.
Lentils (dal) are not just healthy and come in different kind of forms, but are also extremely delicious. This recipe is a great example, beside the fact that it is super easy and fast to make. Sometimes instead of enjoying it with some rice or Naan, I add a poached egg and some cottage cheese which is a nice twist.
