Ok, what are you having for lunch or for dinner tonight because I’ve got one of my favourite salads ready for you all with a sweet & tangy creamy tahini dressing to pour over it all 🥗🥬So good. Please make it. INGREDIENTS For the salad 1 large baby gem / sweet gem lettuce, leaves left whole 4 baby / 2 Middle Eastern cucumbers, thinly sliced 8 radishes, thinly sliced 1 large spring / continental salad onion (scallion), thinly sliced 1 large, ripe avocado, halved and thinly sliced 50g walnuts, roughly chopped 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds 1 tsp nigella seeds For the dressing (makes a nice BIG BATCH (for 1-2 salads or 6-8 people) 90ml (6tbsp) extra virgin olive oil 45ml (3 tbsp) tahini 45ml (3tbsp) fresh lemon juice 1 tsp white wine vinegar 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp runny honey (or agave syrup) 1 tsp freshly grated garlic 1 tsp sea salt flakes 1 tsp dried mint METHOD Add all of the salad ingredients to a large platter. Shove all the dressing ingredients into a jam jar, pop the lid on, shake away vigorously until thick, creamy and emulsified, and it’s done! Pour over as much of the dressing over the salad as you like. The dressing stores well in the fridge for a week. Give it a shake before serving. If you’d like it a little less thick, add a tsp or two of ice cold water to the jar once you’ve had a shake and seen the consistency. #melizcooks #tahini #saladdressing #springonions #scallions #radishes #summer #summerrecipes #lunchideas #dinnerideas #agavesyrup #plantbased #plantbasedrecipe #salad #garlic #mustard #Honey #evoo #lemon #lettuce #saladleaves #easyrecipe

Ok, let’s make “Kayseri Yağlaması”, a deliciously mountainous, layered flatbread and mince dish from Kayseri, Türkiye. My “bidda” recipe makes 16, but this recipe only calls for 9 “Bidda” so wrap up the other 7 and freeze them for another day - or make double the mince filling and keep stacking up the joy! Method for the mince in caption, full recipe on my blog. Kayseri Yağlaması For the bidda: 200ml lukewarm water 125ml lukewarm milk 1 tsp caster sugar 1 sachet instant dry yeast (7g) 500g strong white bread flour 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp olive oil To make the Bidda, click here: Meliz’s Bidda Recipe For the mince filling: 2 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, very finely diced 1 tsp sea salt 1 medium kapya / romano / pointed red pepper, finely diced 1 green carliston pepper, finely diced 1 sivri biber (spicy green pepper), finely diced (optional) 500g beef or lamb mince 2 tbsp tomato puree 1 tbsp red pepper paste 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp pul biber 400g fresh ripe tomatoes, halved and flesh coarsely grated 1/2 tsp black pepper 250ml water To make the mince filling: Add the olive oil to a pan over a medium heat and soften the onions with a pinch of the salt for 8-10 minutes. Add the peppers and soften for another 6-8 minutes before adding the mince, breaking it down into the pan and browning all over for 7-8 minutes. Add the pepper paste, tomato puree, the spices, tomato pulp and stir well. Season with the remaining salt, pepper, pour in the water, bring up to the boil, then turn down and simmer on a low heat with the lid on for 10-12 minutes, then take off the heat. To prepare the “yağlama”, fold one of the “bidda” in half, and half again twice more, then dip the edges into the meat sauce. Open the “bidda” up, lay it on a plate and spoon over 1/9 of the sauce. Keep repeating the process until you have used up 9 “bidda” and the last layer of mince sauce is on the top. Drizzle over yoghurt, fresh parsley and pul biber to serve. Serve with a finely chopped tomato, cucumber and onion salad. #kayseriyağlaması #turkishfood #fridaynight #dinner

Okay, welcome to another episode of “Simple Twists” where I take some of my most popular recipes, or some really traditional ones, and give them a proper “Meliz’s Cooks” twist. This Cheats’ Hellimli Zeytinli Hedgehog Loaf is a delicious way of marrying together the flavours of a classic Cypriot baked good and garlic bread together in no time. Ingredients below, full method in the caption and on my blog. Please make it. RECIPE 1 large sourdough / farmhouse loaf (a good quality gluten free one also works fine) 100g hellim, coarsely grated 150g grated mozzarella 100g Kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped 2 tsp dried mint, finely chopped 1 large spring onion, finely chopped 30g coriander leaves, finely chopped 100g unsalted butter 2 cloves garlic, finely grated Preheat the oven to 180c fan / 200c. Cut across the loaf in a criss-cross pattern, almost down to the base but not all the way through (otherwise the loaf will fall apart), with each slice being around 2 1/2 cm apart. Mix together the hellim, mozzarella, olives, dried mint, spring onions and half of the coriander Melt the butter in a pan and stir through the grated garlic and the remaining coriander. Gently open up the cut sections of the bread and evenly spoon in half of the melted butter, then ease in the cheese and olive filling down and into every small section of the bread. Place the loaf in a baking tray, pour over the remaining melted garlic and coriander butter, wrap the tray tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or so or until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately so that the filling is hot and oozy. #melizcooks #kıbrısçöreği #hellim #halloumi #zeytin #olives #blackolives #oliveoil #simpletwists #bread #meze #mezze
