Cooking With Richard

My brother bought me the Casa Moro recipe book for Christmas this year. They are an English couple who fell in love with Andalusian food and now run a famous Spanish restaurant in Clerkenwell, London. Go on, buy a copy from the Amazon link on the right, and I’ll make some really tiny amount of money (like 25p or something).

I’m currently making flatbreads (similar in concept to pizza). These are Turkish-influenced (Turkey and Andalusia share a lot of similarities because of the Muslim/Moorish influence).

The smell is amazing — just lovely lamb and garlic perfumes wafting from the kitchen, so I can’t wait.

Come back shortly when I will have some photographs and results.

Small update

While I’m cooking this, here is a great photo of a waiter carving a cured pork leg, that I saw when I was in Seville last year.

Update

Lamb neck fillet, cooked for 2 hours with some allspice and onions:

Tomatoes, garlic and olive oil:

This is the flatbread dough, a simple dough made with just a little yeast and olive oil:

I had to look inside the oven with a torch to see if the flatbreads were cooking properly:

Finished product:

Verdict: Tasty, meaty .. and spicy!
