  • Spaghetti with tuna, preserved lemon, capers and fennel

      Excellent. Next time I would add currants as well.

  • Chilli salt beancurd with beansprout salad

      Very similar to the recipe in her book Spice. The Chilli-Salt encrusted tofu is very good but the coating mix is even better when made into a batter for the tofu which is then deep fried. The chilli-pepper-salt is fab for sprinkling on pakoras.

  • Spiced eggplant pickle

    • Ganga108 on February 27, 2022

      The recipe also appears in he book Spice. See cooking notes there.

  • Spiced tomato chilli pickle

    • Ganga108 on February 27, 2022

      This is actually an Indian Tomato Kasundi recipe, slightly altered from the original, but with the name changed. It also appears in her book Spice where at least it is attributed. Here it doesn't reference Charmaine Solomon, the original publisher of the recipe, or it's Indian roots.

      The same recipe occurs in Spice. This is a fantastic chilli paste Fantastic. One of my favourites ever. See the recipe under Spice for cooking notes.

Publishers Text

Stir provides an exhilarating introduction to Manfield's culinary world, where spices play a fundamental role in dishes that range from the hot and pungent to the mellow and fragrant. Throughout her career, she has explored an endless diversity of regional influences, pioneering the incorporation of Asian influences in classic European cuisine and redefining the boundaries of cross-cultural possibilities in sometimes surprising, and always delightful ways.

Stir sets the foundations for its more than 100 recipes upon the staples of 14 basic spice pastes and similar preparations, inspired in particular by the assertive cuisines of south and southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Among Trotter's favorites is Chickpea and harissa soup, a preparation that "explodes with a mixture of elegant flavors - garlic, cumin, mint and tomato - and then is gorgeously touched with the profound, clean heat of harissa." Other recommendations include Spiced eggplant pickle and yogurt salad, "incredibly simple to prepare, but the resulting flavors are overwhelmingly complex"; and Coconut scallops with pomelo salad, a dish for those who "just want to go straight to the brink."
