Bouranee Baunjan – Afghan Eggplant With Yogurt Sauce
This is my take on the Afghan dish Bouranee Baunjan, and although it is not exactly authentic, it is quite delicious. 🙂 It’s a bit of work to put it together, but is not difficult and is worth it.
Afghan Tomato, Cucumber and Onion Salad (Salata)
“Salata is always light and crunchy, making it a perfect counterpoint to Afghan cuisine’s heavier dishes. Some Afghan cooks consider it a point of pride when the diced vegetables are small and uniform in size. The result reminds a little of a colorful bowl of confetti. For those in Afghanistan who can afford fresh vegetables, salata is a staple on the Afghan table. If you can’t get your hands on any decent tomatoes, hang onto the recipe until you can.” Modified recipe off http://www.afghancooking.net by Humaira Ghilzai and Katie Morford.
Felfel B’tomatish – Algerian Pepper & Tomato Salad
This is a classic Algerian ‘salad’ dish. You can either grill the tomatoes & peppers over an open flame, deep fry them or roast them. My family loves this recipe & we always mop it up with fresh bread! You can also serve this as part of a mezze selection. The vinegar is of course optional but it acts as a flavour enhancer so I do recommend at least trying a little of the salad with a few drops of vinegar on!
