I expect it was tortilla just to give the recipe interest for the sake of the magazine. tortillas did not disappoint- you could sort of scoop it up in the warm bread- but rice would have been entirely fitting too.

Chilled but not refrigerated) Crunchy Carrot has come up with it before so I'm hopeful. You can get fake low-fat greek yog at the Coop... I suppose it'll have to do, but as you say, proper stuff stays in a good blob. We shall have to be blob free.... and probably with rice, I suspect, or did you feel the tortillas were the biz?

We have harissa- but I expect Lizzie bringing it home would be too late and don't know whether Paddy is with you already. Crunchy Carrot perhaps? No greek yog? Times are tough in dunbar. We can usually get it in the wee co-op up the hill but never in the supermarket-sized one down the hill, which sells only vodka, crisps and washing machines. And that low fat Total (pink tub).

However, no harissa (actually, will double check that), and no black turtle beans.... but maybe I can substitute black eye beans instead. Ah, also no greek yogurt (difficult to source this far out east, as you know, sigh) I had forgotten about this, and thought “yes, this is tomorrow night’s tea sorted”, the fish pie idea going out the window with the knowledge of Paddy’s presence.

Is good, in anycase, because it doesn't melt from the heat of the chilli so there's always a blob to go back to and 'mine' from.

The white stuff is sour cream? (actually it glistens more like greek yog?) looks pretty, too. The white stuff is sour cream? (actually it glistens more like greek yog?)
