Halloumi & Aubergine Bake

This is seriously one of the most satisfying, comforting dishes I have ever made and goes off like a hit when I’ve made it for family and friends. It’s fulfilling, scrumptious and the halloumi on top when it browns to a crispy edge and gooey inside…. drool worthy! Its also an incredibly malleable recipe, I often use whatever herbs I have on hand such as thyme instead of oregano, or harissa paste instead of tomato paste and honey or maple syrup over pomegranate molasses. The world (or pantry!) is your oyster of endless possibilities! Serve hot with rice, a chunk of fluffy sourdough bread or simply on its own- it’s so delicious it deserves to be the star of the show!

Sweet Tahini Dip & Greek Spiced Potatoes

This brunch spread hosts some of the most perfect flavor combinations- we have spicy roasted ‘Greek Style’ potatoes wedges, portabello mushrooms topped with a baked egg and this gorgeously creamy and sweet tahini dip. If you haven’t noticed, my new secret weapon in the pantry is pomegranate molasses. It is tart but still delicately sweet in flavor, and matches perfectly with the slightly bitterness of the tahini. The flavors and buttery texture of the dip add depth when combined with the crispy, savorous spiced potato wedges. The sweetness of the paprika, aromatic thyme and pungent oregano on the wedges are so moreish, I always make extra of these to save them for the next morning… but they never actually last a full 24 hours in the fridge! Proceed with caution!
