Easter feasting
It’s a bit miserable around our way and with that in mind I thought a bit of colour and crunch could cheer us up this week. Cheesy toastie sandwiches for lunch? Yeah! Go on! Forget about the diet or whatever it is you worry about (too much salt, too much animal fat, frying …) and…

Pomegranate molasses
The easiest way to get acquainted with pomegranate molasses is to use it as a drizzle – try it over a tray of roasted vegetables for starters. And just like mint sauce, it gives lamb a fresh zing, but it also adds a fruity note.

Harissa powder and paste
This humdinger of a hot mixture is pretty much a staple of North African cuisine. Its heat can vary from explosive to mild. You might find it in powdered form, which can be used as a sprinkle or rub, or mixed to a paste with water and/or oil. I love the way it gives mundane meat, vegetable and grain dishes a rev up.
