Cooking with Colm O'Gorman: Mujadara with harissa chicken

"This dish is a lovely introduction to Middle Eastern cooking if you are new to it. Mujadara can be served as a vegetarian main if you wish, or as I have done here, to accompany a meat dish."

Colm has a Middle Eastern inspired feast for you this week. A lovely one pot rice and lentil dish that is easy to make, but full of flavour.

It looks like we will not be travelling again for some time. For now, we are restricted to no more than 5km from our homes. It feels like each day blends into the next, largely because there is little to mark them out from each other. 

January feels like it lasted for ever, and yet the weeks seemed to fly by. The passage of time has all gone a little haywire, and it is a bit disconcerting. It is hard not to get a bit down at times.
