Middle Eastern
Middle Eastern food is one of the healthiest on earth as it includes plenty of vegetables, herbs and pulses. Try Delia's colourful and flavourful recipes for a taste of the Levant...
Serves 4Moroccan Baked Chicken with Chickpeas and Rice
Chicken pieces simmered with chickpeas, peppers and olives in a saffron-flavoured rice with coriander and lemons – hope you like it.
Serves 2 as a light lunch, or 4 as a starterFried Halloumi Cheese with Lime and Caper Vinaigrette
Ideally, this quick and easy storecupboard recipe should be enjoyed outside on a warm day: failing that, it will evoke memories of summer with every bite!
Serves 2Marinated Chicken Brochettes with Green Couscous
Dieters sometimes feel they draw the short straw when out at barbecues - but this gorgeous recipe has a secret ingredient that makes it low-fat and adds succulence to the chicken!
Serves 12Stuffed Yellow Peppers with Pilau Rice, Currants and Toasted Pine Nuts
Make the peppers ahead for an easy dish when entertaining. Stuffing vegetables with a mixture of rice, nuts and dried fruit adds plenty of flavour and a very Mediterranean element.
Serves 6Hummus Bi Tahini
If you want to make the proper authentic version of this you'll need to hunt out some tahini paste, which is available at supermarkets and health-food shops.
Serves 4Char-grilled Aubergine and Roasted Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese
As Delia says, bread dipped into fruity olive oil and tomato juices is food of the gods. But roast the tomatoes first and it’s even better! This easy salad is the perfect thing for a hot summer’s day.
Serves 2Marinated Halloumi Cheese Kebabs with Herbs
If you're cooking for vegetarians, these wonderful kebabs will go down a storm. The halloumi cheese is firm enough to withstand grilling, and combines beautifully with the other flavours in this recipe.
Serves 8Taramasalata
Whatever happened to real taramasalata? Unfortunately, it has been eclipsed by the counterfeit, pink blancmange-coloured variety that is mass produced. There must be a whole generation who have never tasted the genuine article. Here it is – courtesy
Serves 4Char-grilled Squid with Chilli Jam
We have a tradition with some close friends that involves always having Easter Sunday lunch at Yetman's restaurant, in Holt in Norfolk, where Alison and Peter Yetman cook and serve my absolute favourite kind of food.
