Hot Stuff! Cypriot Stuffed Aubergines and Minty Cumin Yoghurt

Not for the faint hearted, these SPICY aubergines are stuffed with lentils, making them a wonderful vegetarian main meal or appetiser. You can add minced meat (ground beef) if you wish, but I find that the Puy Lentils used in this dish have quite enough “body” already! These are based on a Turkish recipe called Imam Bayildi – but I have “pepped” them up a bit by adding Cayenne pepper, chili & the lentils! Do not forget the essential finishing touch – the minted cumin yoghurt, it “cuts” through the heat of the cayenne pepper. Serve these with a crispy salad and crusty bread.

Pollo Catalan

Another recipe I have not tried, but hope it is one you can enjoy! It sounds simple to make (I like that)! Check it out to see if you may would like to try it.

Pato Con Peras Catalan

This dish is a little work but the end result is glorious! The sauce adds an interesting finish. In Spain, this dish is traditionally made with goose, but duck is more readily available here.
