Sloe gin with pomegranate tonic. What a way to finish the day!
And the most amazing middle eastern dips - white bean, beetroot, and carrot and rosewater. All scooped up with delicious oily, salty, garlicky flat bread.
Not made by me, though, but I will give it a go at some point as the wonderful Souk Kitchen provides its customers with recipes to take home. Instead we were lucky enough to get a. a babysitter, and b. a table at short notice at our newest, most favourite local restaurant. My main course was a delight, too - squash and lentil tagine which, combined with the gin aperitif, warmed me up good and proper. Ben had halloumi skewers served with a delicately spiced pilaf, studded with almonds and pomegranate seeds. Everything was wonderful.
