Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon
By Claudia Roden
Knopf - 2006
Mashed aubergine & tomato salad : page 52
This is a nice dip/starter, which is fairly easy to make, if a little time-consuming (roasting the aubergine and stewing the tomatoes). But it can be made in advance. The coriander makes it very fresh-tasting.

Orange, Olive, and Onion Salad : page 48
This is a delicious salad (I used pumpkin oil because I didn't have argan, I think any nutty oil would do the trick). If you are making a Middle Eastern meal it's a good counterpoint to the other dishes, since it's lighter and has quite different flavours.

Sweet potato salad : page 65
Another good pre-cookable side dish to go with a Middle Eastern style meal. I needed to add more water to the potatoes several times. But it doesn't matter if they burn a little as it adds to the sweetness of the dish. Quite simple to prepare.

This is a very simple recipe which turns out extremely delicious! I added some bouquet garni while the liquid cooked down, which worked well.
