Sirocco

From the golden girl of Middle Eastern cooking, Sabrina Ghayour, Sirocco -the term for a warm wind from a hot region that reaches cooler climes- takes ingredients and dishes that we're all familiar with and lovingly swaddles them with warm Persian spicing. Think traditional fish and chips with mustard, coriander, and turmeric batter; a simple seared steak seasoned with rose harissa; creme Anglaise flavoured with lime and basil, and topped with persimmon and black pepper compote.
