The Eurovision Song Contest takes place this Saturday and if you're having a party to celebrate, why not cook up a treat from one of the countries taking part? From an Azerbaijani-inspired rice dish to Danish pastries, we've got it covered.
Azerbaijan: Lamb plov
Plov is a popular dish in this year's host country. It's flavoured with aromatic cumin, parsley and dried fruits. This version takes only around 30 minutes to cook, so place a bowl on the table and let your guests tuck in. (Serves 4-6)
Ingredients:
600g lamb leg steaks, diced
6 garlic cloves, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 small onions, chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
100g dried apricots, chopped
100g dried prunes, chopped
450ml beef stock
300g long-grain rice
½ tsp saffron strands
1 beef stock cube
Small handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Method:
1. Brown the lamb pieces in a little olive oil and remove to a plate. Add the garlic, carrots and onions to the pan (you might need a little more oil) and cook until golden.
2. Stir
