2 h. ago Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for crispy chicken with zhoug and jersey royals | Quick and easy

Fried, breadcrumbed chicken with new potatoes, all brought to life by a garlicky Yemeni sauce of chilli, preserved lemons, herbs and spicesYou can’t go wrong with crisp, panko-fried chicken, and this version with zhoug is an absolute winner. You could describe zhoug as a green chilli sauce, but that wouldn’t quite do justice to this amazing Yemeni condiment, which is packed with flavour from preserved lemons, cardamom and garlic. Use some to stir through the hot, just-cooked jersey royals, then serve the rest as a sauce for the chicken. The only accompaniment you then need is a light green salad: a handful of whatever leaves are to hand, some finely sliced fennel and a few pumpkin seeds, all dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt.

26 h. ago How to make the perfect vegan caesar salad – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

A respectful homage to the classic caesar, using plant-based ingredients to hit the same flavour notesIf I’ve learned anything from almost 40 days of plant-based eating, it’s that an homage doesn’t have to be indistinguishable from the original to hit the same spot; it simply needs to sing equivalent notes to much the same tune. Those notes, in this case, are a green salad, a thick, umami-spiked dressing and savoury croutons, all tossed in a pitch-perfect combination of flavours (milky lettuce, salty fish, rich fat) and textures (crisp leaves, creamy dressing, crunchy toasted bread). So, while the recipe below isn’t pretending to be an authentic classic caesar, consider it a very decent and, I hope, similarly pleasing cover version. Continue reading...

27 h. ago Geography has given the US unrivaled security. Trump is destroying it | Gil Barndollar and Rajan Menon

The US’s greatest strategic advantage is its friendly neighbors. But its ties to Canada and Mexico are being underminedThe secret to American power and pre-eminence was best summed up more than a century ago.America, observed Jean Jules Jusserand, France’s ambassador to the United States during the first world war, “is blessed among the nations”. To the north and south were friendly and militarily weak neighbors; “on the east, fish, and the west, fish”. The United States was and is both a continental power and, in strategic terms, an island – with all the security those gifts of geography provide. No world power has ever been as fortunate. This unique physical security is the real American exceptionalism.Gil Barndollar is a non-resident fellow at the Defense Priorities Foundation. Rajan Menon is Spitzer professor emeritus of international relations at the Powell School, City College of New York, and a senior research scholar at the Saltzman Institute at Columbia University.

33 h. ago One Club Row, London E1: ‘Battered stuff, things in buns, strong drinks: a thrilling, retro ride’ – restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants

They will feed you, water you, give you a good time and make you feel carefree and cossetedAs a name, One Club Row sounds a bit like the title of a 1990s lads’ mag, but it’s actually a purposely shabby-chic room above a pub in Shoreditch that serves martinis, oysters and schnitzels in a heady, tipsy, twinkly atmosphere that itself may well remind you of the 1990s. Or at least it will if you were “on the scene” back then. These days, the 90s are synonymous with louche, raffish semi-pandemonium, mainly because today feels so saintly in comparison. No 90s restaurateur ever offered reclaimed spud peelings as a starter or a kombucha-led, alcohol-free drinks flight to spare your liver, complete with an earnest lecture on zero-waste hospitality. Puritanism was definitely out there back then, yes, though mainly only in The Cranks Recipe Book. But mindfulness? Not so much.What One Club Row and similar London establishments such as the Devonshire in Piccadilly and the Plimsoll in Finsbury Par...
