A very special 70th birthday at a private home in Hahei, a Middle Eastern feast made for sharing. đż
We started with a mezze plate: beetroot and sweet potato spread, hummus, eggplant chutney, labneh, shatta olives and warm pita breads. Then the table filled up with chermoula grilled chicken, a slow-cooked lamb shoulder tagine and a whole roasted cauliflower with green tahini and sultana pickle. Alongside were tamarind and coriander glazed eggplants, orzo with dill and spinach, and a chopped salad with roasted chickpeas.
Generous, colourful and made to be passed around the table. Happy 70th, and thank you for having us. đ
