Hot Tips

More

Deep-frying

Make sure the oil isn’t too hot or the food will brown quickly without cooking fully on the inside. This is particularly important when making bulgur kofta. On the flip side, overcrowding the fryer can cool the oil too much and result in soggy, greasy food.

Glossary

Cassoulet

Stew made up of dried white beans, pork, lamb, goose or duck, sausage, vegetables and herbs.
