My tart took 40 minutes to bake, and I had to make a foil collar as the crust was getting pretty brown. This was super simple, but we loved it. Swiss chard is blanched in boiling water, drained and tossed with salt and pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. In my case, we skipped the pepper, and I cooked the greens in salty water which eliminated the need to add salt after cooking. The instructions call for blanching the leaves and then the stems sequentially, but I put the chopped stems in first and added the leaves when the stems were almost done. I cook greens several times a week, nearly always sauteed in olive oil with garlic. This was a good reminder to get out my boiling pot more often. The chard had a perfect, tender texture and the simple dressing of lemon juice and good quality olive oil was light, springy, and delicious. I used young red chard and the jewel-like colors of the cooked greens and stems were extremely attractive. My only regret is losing the cooking water when I drained the pot. It would have made a splendid soup base.

The Moro Cookbook by Samantha Clark, Samuel Clark - Waterstones

The marriage of the sweet peppers, salty anchovies and creamy egg make this toast a visual and taste sensation. This is a simple, elegant, and delicious recipe for skate. Definitely company-ready. The garlic and sherry sauce is the secret and it would be fabulous on almost anything. The recipe suggests it for grilled lamb too. I would definitely use westminstr's method of cooking the rice in the future-though to be fair I didn't have basmati rice. (COVID cooking.) But it seems easier with the same result. The flavors are great. p. 154 - I LOVE fattoush and mr bc, not so much so this version with some unconventional ingredients like cauliflower and radishes caught my eye thinking perhaps it might hold some appeal for mr bc too. Thankfully it did and mr bc loved it! The dressing is fresh and super-bright, the vegetables provide amazing contrast in colour and texture. We loved the crunch and slight richness of the butter-basted crispy bread.Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the egg yolks. Using a metal spoon, stir in one heaped spoonful of the whisked egg whites. Once this spoonful is fully incorporated, gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Moro Easy is the new cookbook from Sam &Sam Clark, with a focus on home-cookingpaired with their signature use of flavours andingredients from North Africa and SouthernSpain. Moro Easy contains simple, no-fussrecipes which will have wide appeal for thehome cook. I have made a version of this with basil in the summer. I roast the eggplant after brushing it with oil- you get the soft center and the browned exterior without all the oiliness and mess. I liked the chili and mint combo- though I used red pepper flakes as I couldn't find red chilies at the store and wanted the color contrast.

Everyone loves toast. But there is toast and… toast. In Moro Easy, a new cookbook by Sam and Sam Clark, there are no fewer than 10 recipes for things on toast. Some are straightforward, almost austere: I can’t imagine the person who wouldn’t be able to rustle up a few slices of their tomato and jamon toast (the secret lies with a grater and just the right amount of garlic). Others are luxuriant: imagine a crisp oval of sourdough topped with a thin tortilla and aioli – a breakfast treat they first ate in Barcelona’s Boqueria market – or with crab warmed in butter and Oloroso sherry and lightly seasoned with fresh chilli and thyme.

Frankly, this is a little over-elaborate for home cooking. I simplified it in several ways. I cut the liver up so I could stir it into the salad instead of serving it on the side, and I made a single dressing from yoghurt, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice instead of two dressings, one yoghurt, one lemon. Quite tasty and nice as made, and I'm sure wonderful in the original, but too fussy for me.

We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. Post-pandemic, it was difficult to get things fully up and running again; restaurants are about momentum. “But then we’d have customers coming up to the pass and literally crying, they were so happy we were open again,” says Sam. “That’s what all the hard work is for.” But what about their relationship? If running a celebrated restaurant for 25 years is a huge achievement – restaurants in London change more often than the weather – it is surely a miracle that they’ve done so without winding up in the divorce courts (they met when they were both working at the Eagle, just down the road from Moro, in Clerkenwell). “Well, I got told off the other day, didn’t I?” says Sam. Samuel takes up the story. “She was late, and I had a new chef to settle in, and I was doing a hot section myself, and we had a lot of people booked.”

I had a smaller piece of pork belly and ended up overcooking it, but the flavour was very nice. The skin crisped up beautifully. The authors note you can use pork loin instead. The Clarks’ first book – Moro, the Cookbook – came out in 2001, four years after their influential restaurant, its menu inspired by their travels in north Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, opened in 1997; instantly hailed as a classic by Nigella Lawson and Claudia Roden, it remains much loved (though they’ve since published several more). Is it hard to write in its shadow? “It’s good having a bit of distance between the books,” says Sam. “But, though we’re proud of the first one, we’ve never quite been able to understand its success. The other books have recipes that are just as good. It kind of became part of the culture for a while, didn’t it?” This was a great salad. I prepared this on a weeknight, and I didn't think the prep was too excessive given this can be a complete meal. I really love the mint and the chile here. What takes this from good to great, IMHO is the roasted garlic aioli. We did have some of the tomato sauce left over so I froze it for another round of this dish. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/846988#7313513 While the fish looked lovely when it came out of the oven and the fish itself tasted good, there was very little flavour at all from the marinade. Next time I think I’d add the lemon juice by the tablespoon to taste. I think it just washed out the flavours.

We love the texture of the creamy, soft and salty feta gently melting into the potatoes as they are tossed together. You can see how it is a versatile accompaniment to fish and meat dishes. Also delicious with a simple tomato and basil salad. What I made:Labneh, Carrots, Caraway and Pistachios and Roasted Aubergines with Tomatoes and Tahini. Gently pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and lightly sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt.
