Bahrain
Round 2 – Bahrain, and it is hotting up nicely with Lewis failing to win in Australia despite the obvious advantage he had. Vettel looked very pleased and now we have a whole new debate about the virtual safety car. Plenty to think about so here are some recipes to allow you to get into the mood for Bahrain this weekend, you can go Mezze style or something more substantial and then follow with one of the amazing desserts. I think the pistachio stuffed dates are my favourite closely followed by Persian Love Cake.
Mezze
I love mezze, plenty of quick recipes to make and lots of different flavours to try; Quick Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Tabbouleh, Potato Cakes, Watermelon, Feta and Black olive salad and Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon.
Main Courses
These recipes are more of a slow burner. They are not quick but they are all good – Chicken Machboos, Ras Al Hanout, Chicken with Pomegranate and Walnuts, Kharoof Mahshi and Leg of Lamb Shawarma.
Desserts
Some really special ones here – they are all so beautiful to look at. Pistachio-stuffed dates, Baklava, Mango Mahalabia with a touch of Sumac and Persian Love Cake.
