Beet and Pork and Melon

[ beets, watercress, tahini, garlic, lemon ]

[ pork chops, orange, lemon, lime, cumin, coriander ]
[ grilled green onions, romesco ]

[ onions, garlic, red peppers, garlic, cumin, saffron, garbanzos, kale, smoked paprika ]

[ potato, garlic, parsley ]

Our first home made jelly (or jello as they call it in North America).
[ 400 g canteloupe, 50 g sugar, 100 g water, orange zest,
mint, 1.5g agar agar (0.25%)]

The agar agar needs to boil before being used, so we boiled it with just the sugar and water. This was then mixed with the pureed melon and flavourings. It took about an hour in the fridge to set and made quite a soft jelly.
