Date & Preserved Lemon Chutney
This chutney is so addictive it won’t last long. Great with any vegetable dish, barbecued chicken or spicy roast lamb and couscous and is good in a cold meat sandwich. A spoonful or two is also excellent in a Moroccan tagine to give it depth of flavour, served as a condiment with any Middle Eastern dish and it goes perfectly with blue cheese. Its sweetness also goes well with tart Greek yogurt.
Chilli Lime & Ginger Sauce
This dressing is fresh, tangy and vibrant. Packed with a punch, this dressing is perfect as a dipping sauce for rice paper wraps or use to dress an Asian coleslaw. Saute chicken or pork mince till cooked through, add a handful of mint and coriander, toss with chilli, lime and ginger and serve in a crisp lettuce cup.
Pomegranate Molasses Dressing
This exotic dressing is from concentrated pomegranate juice. It is lovely in a green salad with a handful of fresh herbs and can be used as a sauce with braised spinach, spiced lamb, quail or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce with a plate of crisp crudité. To thin simply add a touch of water and whisk well to emulsify.
