I chop them into about one inch sections so they are bite sized (depending of course on the size of your mouth and how hungry you are at the time of chopping!). In this one, I used Merguez, which are a type of spicy lamb sausage which my local butcher makes. … Continue reading Sarah’s Scrumptious Sausage Casserole

You could enjoy this at any time of day, but I had it for breakfast and it was very fitting indeed. While steaming some broccoli florets, grind a handful of almonds – not too much though. Warm some olive oil in frying pan on medium heat and add the nuts. Add a teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of cumin, a dusting of sweet smoked paprika and a few caraway seeds. Gently fry until roasted. When the broccoli is tender (not too soft), remove from steam and in a bowl combine with pepper, olive oil and a teaspoon of rose harissa. … Continue reading Jinya’s Warm Broccoli Salad with Roasted Spicy Almond Chunks
