It is a well known fact, that I discovered accidentally, that garlic turns blue when you pickle it. The recipe could not be simpler. Heat jar(s) and lid(s)(resealable) in the oven at 100C. Peel garlic cloves, larger ones are easier. Heat vinegar in a pan to nearly boiling(I used distilled) and add some muscovado sugar. … Continue reading Pickled Garlic

I put a 900ml jar and lid in the oven at 100C to sterilise. I put in … Continue reading Pickled Chillies

Here's a dish called Red Eggs and Babinjan. It was made by my parents-in-law, Julie and Josh who were Jewish, and came originally from Iraq. The eggs are cooked for a long time and turn brown. I don't know why they were called Red Eggs, perhaps it's a mistranslation. Dishes cooked slowly on the fire … Continue reading Red Eggs and Babinjan
This is another variation on some preceding curry ideas. The idea is that the vegetables thicken the sauce, and also that the lamb is immersed in the sauce so the spices flavour it. It's good to use the smallest pan that will fit the shoulder, so that the intensity of the sauce is not diluted … Continue reading Shoulder of Lamb and Fava Bean Curry
