MILDLY SPICED FAJITAS
In Mexico, the word fajita refers to the sizzling meat that is
wrapped in a soft lour tortilla, but it’s used to refer to the
complete dish, too. Tortillas are wonderfully versatile – they
can also be used to make a Mexican-style toasted sandwich,
the quesadilla, illed with cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables.
To make a fajita… Slice a yellow pepper and lean chicken into
strips, and coat the chicken with fajita seasoning – a warming
blend of smoked salt, smoked paprika and chipotle chillies. In a
hot pan, sauté the meat for a few minutes, and add the peppers.
Once cooked, divide the chicken and peppers between the
tortillas, top with fresh herbs and our tomato-rich red salsa
– which has a slight heat and a kick of lime – then fold in the
tortillas’ edges and roll them up to create parcels.

THE KETCHUP
Our spicy tomato Masala
Ketchup, AED 14 (250ml), is
beautifully flavoured with
chilli, ginger, garlic, fennel,
coriander and cloves. Serve
it as a dip for appetisers,
such as samosas and bhajis.
THE RICE
Considered to be one
of the finest white rices,
long-grain Basmati
Rice, AED 12 (500g), is
an Indian staple. Ours
cooks to fragrant, fluffy
perfection in 10 minutes.
TACOS TO TURN UP THE HEAT
Soft tacos are similar to tortillas, but smaller – ideal for a
speedy snack or lunch. They’re traditionally served with the
edges folded in around the illing, as street food that’s ready
to be eaten on the go. For an authentic touch, give your taco a
kick with habanero sauce – habaneros are one of the world’s
spiciest chillies, so go easy to start with.
To make a taco… Sauté your illings, such as sliced red and
green peppers, in a hot pan with a dash of habanero sauce.
Spoon the cooked illing onto the tacos, then add diced red
onion, chopped red pepper and fresh coriander. Top with
pickled green jalapeños, before folding in the tacos’ edges.
Or for a fun variation, try making taco bowls: upturn a muin
tray and press soft tacos around the cups, then bake until
crisp. Once cool, add your chosen illings and serve.
