Lima beans are the discovery of 2021 for me. So deliciously crunchy, so great at absorbing flavors without losing its authenticity. This is a great surprising dish with a fantastic layering of flavors. Delicious to dip with bread.

Many people do not have positive thoughts when it comes to white beans. This even goes voor Lima beans. We do not, can not and will not understand that in this house. Lima beans are very tasty and very easy to prepare. Give them another chance. We beg of you. Just try to get rid of your memories in the past. In any case, this dish settles that in one go. It is a taste bomb, comfort food and surpising.

Warm yogurt, this is always almost too good to be true. Always so good. So gentle and soft. Bringing everything together in the ultimate comfort food dish. In this recipe, it contrasts perfectly with the deliciously crunchy breadcrumbs and the spicy pine nuts. Even though it is a pasta dish, the Palestinians have made a Middle Eastern version with the warm yogurt, crispy breadcrumbs and the spicy pine nuts. And the combination of herbs and spices.

I have not been preparing Swiss chard often until now. But through the restaurant Bommels Bakhuys and their fantastic kitchen paradise garden Bommels Buiten, I sometimes get kilo’s of Swiss chard delivered at my kitchen doorstep. And then many things start to happen in my kitchen. This is one of the best recipes with Swiss chard. Warm in every sense of the word. Comfort food. Nutricious. Tasteful. Full of flavour. Tiny bit Arabic due to the spices. Keeping close to my roots, always. In any case, you will enjoy it very much.
