Peanut salad wins UK Salad Cometishian award James Brown is an ordinary man, with an extraordinary salad. His new peanut salad has been sweeping the local cafes and restaurants across Britain."Not fond of the Michigan salad, nor the Greek salad with its famous feta cheese, I decided to make my own salad, for me, little did I know the extent of popularity my new creation was to be!"Humble beginnings.

Greek salad Although I have never made the trip to the Mediterranean to visit Greece I decided to use this land as the inspiration for this post. Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of Greece and it was in Lonsdale St where I began my appreciation for Greek cuisine. After just coming out of chef's school where food was taken so seriously I can vividly remember how happy (and possibly relieved) I was while eating in Lonsdale St as well as two other areas in Melbourne – Lygon St and ChinatownFor Greek salad:- choose your tomatoes carefully, they should be perfectly ripe- use decent olives – I used a selection of mixed varieties, marinated in roasted capsicum and garlic- you can opt for a sharp, crumbly feta as I have or a smooth, creamy kind- eat the salad with lamb keftes/koftas and yoghurt dressing (see my next post)On a showing-off note – I did grow the yellow teardrop tomatoes at home, I don't know if I could taste the difference between them and their red, round counterparts however the two together made for very attractive salads over summer.Ingredients (serves 2)1 red capsicum1 Lebanese cucumber½ red onion200g cherry or Roma tomatoes100g feta¼ c...more
