Twice-cooked carrots, a herby olive pasta and a riff on Persian yoghurt dip – there are many ways to experience the joys of autumn produce
, but a whole bunch of celery is one of the vegetable kingdom’s most unwieldy specimens. It is large, aggressively leafy, takes up prime fridge real estate and, in my experience, there are few recipes that will rip through the better half of a bunch . This borani is an exception. Ottolenghi’s riff on the Persian yoghurt dip contains spinach and walnuts as is custom, but the celery is a fresh, crunchy addition.
This is one of the fridge- and pantry-raid recipes when you realise yes, you want dinner but no, you haven’t shopped for groceries. Dried pasta is always a saviour; so are breadcrumbs for crunch, and capers, olives and raisins for big flavour. This is billed as a 30-minute recipe but for extra-speediness, I like to boil my water in the kettle before dumping it in the pot.
If you’re fortunate enough to have access to fresh coconut, it will do wonders for this stir-fry. Otherwise, dry-store desiccated coconut will work fine. As with many stir-fries, mise en place to meet the pace: trim your green beans and silverbeet , chop your onions and chillies and soak your mustard seeds before you even think of heating up the pan.This is a one-pot recipe, provided you choose a pot that’s wide enough to fry the chorizo, and deep enough to simmer a stew.
