It ticked all the boxes and looked really easy, so I decided to give it a go.  It was such a success that I wanted to share it with you!

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Naturally High takes a walk on the wild side of Jordan

Today, I want to share the flavours of the Middle East with you. I have just returned from Jordan - a beautiful and fascinating place. The scenery, hospitality and food left me Naturally High.

With over 4000 years of history and a melting pot of different cultures, the Middle East has created a tapestry of flavorsome cuisines, which are often simple, tasty and healthy.

For these reasons, I would like share this recipe with you. It is quick and easy to make and delicious too.

Butterbeans with feta, sorrel and sumac
Adapted from Ottolenghi's "Plenty"

Ingredients – serves 2
1 tin (410g) of butterbeans
8 Spring onions – finely chopped
4tbsp of olive oil (or 11/2 tbsp coconut oil)
1 clove of garlic – crushed
1 chili finely sliced (optional)
200g sorrel or parsley or chives or dill
11/2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 preserved lemon finely chopped
150 g of feta – crumbled
2 tsp sumac (found in the herb section of most supermarkets)

Method
1) Saute the butterbeans in olive oil (or coconut oil) for 2 mins.
2) Add spring onions, garlic, chilli and sorrel for another 2mins.

This recipe can be eaten hot or cold but I love it when it is still warm. Beans are a fantastic source of energy and vegetable protein. It is gluten free too!.
