Saffron and Dill Rice



This rice dish is the perfect accompaniment for a variety of grilled meats such as grilled lamb or fish (take a look at my Oven Baked Garlic and Lemon Salmon recipe), it is also really tasty alongside roasted butternut squash for a really delicious vegetarian meal. 

Ingredients: 

·     2 cups of basmati rice
·     ¼ cup ghee, you can use normal slightly salted butter if you don’t have this
·     ½ cup dill
·     1/8 cup dried mint
·     1 tsp saffron
·     1 tbsp milk

Method: 

1)   Add the rice to a pan with just enough water to cover it and some salt 
2)   When there is only a little bit of water left add the ghee and herbs, and simmer until all the water has evaporated
3)   Once cooked remove 3 tbsps of rice into a separate bowl and mix it with the milk and saffron until the pigment of the saffron coats the rice and it becomes orange

4)   Add the saffron rice to the main rice dish and combine. Enjoy!

Fried Liver Served on a Toasted Baguette

Hello! Liver is an extremely underrated cut of meat, many aren't accustomed to it or haven't even tried it at all.

Cooking time for liver is extremely important as you run the risk of it becoming too chewy. Whils...

Karahi Gosht (Indian Meat Curry)

The first recipe I'd like to share is my absolute favourite Indian take-away curry made easy- a Karahi Gosht. A Karahi Gosht is a very rich meat curry, packed with a deep depth of flavour which one can only imagine takes ages and ages.

To start off, chop one onion into slices, place it in a pan with a glug of oil, and some ginger and garlic puree.  Once the onions are slightly transparent, add the meat; I used pre-boiled and frozen mutton.  As my meat was frozen in its own stock, I did not need to add any water. However, if your meat is raw then add one cup of w...
