Ready to serve I am a huge fan of Yotam Ottolenghi … he is not only very easy on the eyes (sorry ... but it's true!), he is an amazing chef and a great inspiration, and I just adore his cookbooks! This recipe of his appeared on lots of blogs a few months ago, with the latest appearing in The Kitchn ( see here ) so it definitely caught my attention. The original recipe is in Yotam’s cookbook “Plenty More” (page 258) if you have it. Yotam coats the sides of the tin with melted butter and sprinkles it with a combination of nigella (the little black seeds you see on Turkish bread) and sesame seeds … but you can use whatever seeds you like, or miss this step if you prefer … I choose not to use seeds as we have an allergy in our family … BUT I do think it would add a wonderful “nutty” texture. This is a great recipe for a family dinner, or to serve at a girls' luncheon, or a light entree (thinner slices) at a dinner party, or to take as picnic fare. Leftovers are great eaten cold the next day too. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and a spicy chill sauce ... yum!
