I was on a mission with the UNHCR in Amman, the capital of Jordan, and we’d arranged to meet some Syrian and Jordanian women who were running a school lunch programme for the local Syrian refugee community in a small town called Salt.

This recipe comes from Niamh Fox, from when she worked at Café Paradiso in Cork in the early 2000s. We’ve adapted it slightly, so thank you, Denis Cotter (don’t sue me, you’re the best!).
