Spice things up at Iftar with these tasty dips
No matter what the culinary style your Ramadan dinner is planned to take, dips are a great way to offer healthy, light appetisers before the main event.
Alternatively, served with the right veggies, crisps, or bite-sized goodies, a few good dips can also make for a veritable feast.
Middle Eastern cuisines are known for meat dishes, meaning a variety of vegetable dips are usually a welcome way to kick things off come sunset.
Mix things up and try these three tasty options this Holy Month.
Muhammara
A spicy walnut and red pepper pâté, seasoned with cumin, extra red pepper pieces (sometimes) and pomegranate molasses.
This Levantine staple is perfect served with just-baked flatbread or toasted ciabatta bread strips.
It tastes smoky, roasted, tangy, savoury, and a little bitter, all at the same time.
