Nibbles
for Two
Cured meats, olives and mixed nuts for something to nibble on, or
to stave off the hunger without ruining your appetite whilst you wait
for friends.
Magnificent Hummus
We think this is the most magnificent hummus we've ever tasted! Supermarket
versions will never satisfy you again, but you'll always know where
you can come to for your fix!
Baba Ganoush
Stunning version of the traditional Middle Eastern dish of smokey
aubergines with tahini, tomatoes and a hint of chilli.
Foul Medamas (Arabic
Broad Beans)
Quite contrary to its name, this dish really shows you what the (not
so) humble broad bean has to offer, exquisitely seasoned with garlic,
coriander and cumin. Imagine these jazzing up your Sunday roast!
Dolmas
Dolmas, originating from the Ottoman Empire, means 'stuffed thing'
- in this case, vine leaves, with a variety of vegetables and Egyptian
rice. When we first tasted these, we were told by the top chef in
our party that they were the best he had ever tasted. We agree!
Falafel
Originating from Egypt, these chickpea patties have a growing popularity
around the globe, especially amongst vegetarians. Again, we think
these are probably the best we've ever come across, but don't take
our word for it - try them yourself!
Spinach Fatayer
A slow-baked pastry from the Middle East stuffed with spinach and
pinenuts. Fabulous combination, again raising the standard of the
green leaf!
Almeetra Butter
Beans
Deliciously creamy butter beans slow cooked with a cherry tomato and
basil sauce, herbs, fresh coriander and extra virgin olive oil.
Battata
Harra
Delicious Syrian version of patatas bravas, with the traffic-light
mix of sweet peppers, combined with garlic, coriander and cumin.
Kibbeh
Looking much like Falafel, this is crushed wheat, stuffed generously
with onions, minced lamb pan-roasted pine nuts, happy herbs and Syrian
seasoning..deep (and meaningfully) fried ....then served with a salad
garnish and dips.
Chicken Brazil
Tender breast of grilled chicken, mouth-wateringly combined with locally
made Chimichuri Sauce with a base of coriander and garlic.
Tuna Steak
Fresh tuna steak lightly griddled and drizzled with a locally made
barbeque sauce bursting with flavour!
Chorizo Sausage
This griddled chorizo fills the kitchen with wonderful aromas which
get your taste buds tingling even before it reaches your mouth!
Haloumi
When uncooked, this hard cheese has a very mild flavour, but lightly
browned on the griddle, all the flavours rush out, and it's extremely
more-ish!
With pancetta or without pancetta, you choose.
Wild Party Rice
There's nothing plain about this colourful rice, created by Amy, with
a combination of wild and basmati rice, crunchy vegetable textures
and bursts of Zing! from goats cheese, lemon and pomegranate.
Garlic bread
Served hot with a piping jug of garlic butter to drizzle.
