Yes, and there’s another kibbeh. When autumn comes – and also in winter – kibbeh is to me what stew is here. Deliciously warming, delicious comfort food, always different. And this one is with pumpkin, also such a real autumn vegetable of course. And nice and soft and quite creamy for a kibbeh, because the pumpkin is incorporated in it. And that is also very comfort food.

A soup I always wanted to make, walnut soup. And our guests were extremely enthusiastic. It is creamy, it is soft and yet very interesting in taste. Purely positive, of course.

The picture says it all. You just look at that in a licking way, don’t you? The mizuna (Japanese turnip stalk, also to be replaced by arugula), the sourberries, the homemade balsamic syrup… the delicious lentils and the sweet pear. A salad of ‘I got you there’.

I was brought up with two dishes that are very similar. Mudardra (we called it pjadra) and Roumaniya (see also elsewhere on the site). This is a variation on the Roumaniya theme. Super tasty and ultimate comfort food. Crispy due to the pomegranate seeds and the crispy bread.
