… Pitta & Greek Salad
So my sisters coming for lunch today, with her boyfriend James and my brother has been here for the weekend. In all I’m cooking for five and so I’m gonna cook slightly more lamb and one more pitta.
I enjoyed the last kofte I made from this book (the beef kofte curry) and I’m quite keen to cook this one. Basically I’m making kebabs today. Relatively healthy kebabs, but kebabs none the less. Although I’m slightly ashamed of this, I do like a kebab now and again.
There seems to be quite a bit to do and it is a fun dish to cook.
You need to bash up pistachios in a pestle and mortar. I have two. I grab the nearest one. It’s the small white dainty one. After half a second I realise that this will be a slow job if I use this one. So I get my big manly granite pestle and mortar … it means more washing up for someone … not me … but it’s much better and more importantly quicker.
At the end, just as the kofte is finishing off. You add the bashed pistachios with the honey. This is a little touch that is so delicious. It’s adding these little things that make such a difference and this is such a good and simple idea.
This is a great little meal. Enjoyed by all. I highly recommend that you try this. After lunch it was off for a walk, followed by coffee and cake, followed by film – “the Silver Linings Playbook” which I highly recommend as well.
