I'm exploring the world of cooking from my home in Melbourne, Australia. I know I've become fanatical because I now keep cookbooks by my bed! Define esurientes? The hungry! This word pops up in my singing regularly and, for me, the term perfectly combines my passions for good food & good music. Email: esurientes2(at)yahoo.com.au

Multiculturalism on a plate
Red wine & lentil & vegetable stew with thyme and basil accompanied by flathead fillets coated in dukkah - a north African paste of nuts and seeds (sesame, coriander, cumin seeds & hazelnuts). Yes, I know the combination doesn't technically complement each other, but what can I say? I live in a multicultural society. :-)
Modern Australia on a plate!
hey niki
ReplyDeleteoh yesss, this dish is definitely very aussie! I am glad I live in Australia - I can get every sort of food ingredient from around the world!
Hmmm north african paste just sounds so exotic! Did you make the paste yourself?
Sounds interesting. Did you make the nut paste yourself? Is there a recipe for it?
ReplyDeleteok im asking about the paste too! :) did you make it yrself or did you buy it?
ReplyDeletePinkcocoa - I often think how lucky we are living in Australia. It's safe, it's multicultural, it's beautiful. No matter where I've travelled in the world, I always appreciate coming home. :-)
ReplyDeletePinkcocoa, Ana and Gwenda - I've put up another post about dukkah, which answers your question!
