Spiced Salmon with Sumac Tabbouleh, Crispy Chickpeas and Tahini Dill Dressing
This recipe has bags of flavour, plenty of texture and is very healthy and quick to make. Pairing lemon and garlic tahini sauces with fish is a new discovery for me but one I am very much on board with. The spices on the salmon compliment the creaminess of the dressing, zestiness of the sumac tabbouleh and the crunch of the chickpeas.
Za’atar Halloumi Flatbreads with Tzatiki and Greek Sumac Salad
Meat-free, healthy, delicious, and full of some of my favourite Greek flavours, this halloumi dish is a knockout. I love halloumi and by marinading it in a mixture of za’atar, garlic, lemon and finishing it in the pan with a drizzle of honey, you will not be able to resist it.
Lamb, Feta and Pistachio Meatballs with Tomato Sumac Salad and Za’atar Flatbreads
With this dish I tried to combine some of my favourite Middle Eastern flavours. These are up there with some of the best meatballs I’ve ever made - the crunch from the pistachios, saltiness from the feta, freshness from the herbs and sweet, sticky glaze from the pomegranate molasses made them completely moreish. With a refreshing tomato and olive sumac salad, bulgur wheat tabbouleh, tzatziki and homemade flatbreads to mop up all the deliciousness, this is my favourite type of food.
