Made the first but what certainly won’t be the last of the recipes from @sami_tamimi’s glorious new book Boustany which is about vegetable-based cooking inspired by his homeland of Palestine. It’s the crushed broad beans with goat’s cheese and preserved lemon salsa. Although he makes it with frozen broad beans and peas which makes it a brilliant storecupboard standby I made it with fresh given both are in season - just the perfect taste of summer. Seems so very wrong that his compatriots can’t eat food like this, and in many cases struggle to feed themselves and their families at all. . . . #broadbeans #favabeans #peas #dip #goatscheese #preservedlemon #boustany #samitamimiForget starters and mains! I could live on restaurants’ ‘snack’ menus these days. Here are 3 from @town.restaurant - the sage fritters, the radishes and the unholy potato sourdough with ‘house gravy’ which might have to go on my Last Supper list. More in this week’s Friday 5 (see link in bio). . . . #snacks #fritti #potatobread #gravy #radishes #townrestaurant #newrestaurant #londonfoodGreat to have an old-school aubergine/eggplant parm the other night @pazzobybianchis plus top notch fritto misto. The set lunch deal is a bargain too at £16. . . . #aubergine #eggplant #eggplantparm #frittomisto #italianfood #bristolfoodYou can’t really see the crab but this was an absolutely cracking dish of bucatini cooked Malaysian style with crab, garlic, soy and crispy chilli oil from @julielincooks terrific new book Sama Sama. (The chilli crisp puttanesca). Lots of similarly inventive and enticing recipes. Check it out next time you’re in a bookshop. . . . #samsama #pasta #bucatini #crab #chillicrisp Follow on Instagram
