salad of radish, broad beans and green tahini sauce
Text coordinator Laura explains why she loves Yotam’s recipes so much. ‘The happiest food in the world’, that’s how Yotam Ottolenghi’s food is typified and yes it also makes me happy!
Take his salad with radish, broad beans and green tahini sauce… that’s such a nice fresh lunch thanks to the lemon, fresh coriander, parsley and cumin seeds. I use cumin seeds liberally, not ground but whole and I’m already looking forward to a version with fresh broad beans!’

Cut the radishes each into 6 parts and mix them with the broad beans, onion, coriander, preserved lemon, lemon juice, parsley, olive oil and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
