Middle Eastern

Middle Eastern cuisine blends diverse flavours from Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, and more. It uses fresh ingredients and aromatic spices to create rich dishes like hummus, falafel, kebabs, and tabbouleh. Olive oil, garlic, tahini, chickpeas, and spices such as cumin, coriander, and sumac are common. Vibrant mezze platters offer small, shareable dishes, fostering a communal dining experience.

Forget expensive therapy, roast the tomatoes and m Forget expensive therapy, roast the tomatoes and make this pasta. 😂🍅

This ROASTED TOMATO AND RICOTTA PASTA is creamy, rich and packed with flavour.

I roasted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, a whole bulb of garlic and ricotta until soft and lightly charred, then blended everything into the smoothest sauce with Parmesan and pasta water. The whole roasted cherry tomatoes add juicy little bursts in every bite, and honestly, this sauce is ridiculously good. 🤌
