Inspiration & recipes

Eastern-inspired cooking

To celebrate the upcoming Ramadan period, we’ve developed four new Eastern-inspired recipes. The goal is simple: take familiar regional elements and update them with frozen fruit that add freshness and colour. The result is a set of simple bases, Eastern flavour cues, and focused fruit additions that make the plates feel fresh, and more defined.

Pomegranate & passion fruit muhammara

Adding pomegranate and passion fruit to muhammara brings a modern twist on the classic Levantine dip. The fruit pops in contrast to the velvety base. A touch of chili brings gentle heat. It’s a vibrant crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for snacking or sharing.

Mango-rose panna cotta

This twist on classic panna cotta is a soft, and elegant dessert that combines sweetness with floral notes. Once chilled, each glass gets a glossy layer of mango-rose topping for extra taste, and crushed pistachios and edible flowers as garnish. It’s a modern, yet romantic dessert.

Grilled aubergine with passion fruit yoghurt

This grilled aubergine side dish brings together smoky with refreshing. The passion fruit brings a bright touch that cuts through the richness of the other flavours, while crushed pistachios bring just the right amount of crunch.

Cherry couscous

This cherry couscous is a bright, effortless side dish that brings together sweet fruit, warm grains, and fresh herbs. Finished with olive oil, it’s a fresh, colourful bowl that works beautifully along grilled meat.

Trending fruits

Pomegranate, passion fruit, and cherries are fruits that help create dishes that feel balanced, bright, and varied. These ingredients are an excellent fit for recipes build around shared plates and coziness.

Pomegranate has become a global trend because it delivers slight acidity and added texture without altering familiar flavour profiles. It frequently shows up as a ‘clean’ way to modernise dips, salads, and meat dishes.
Cherries are gaining traction in grain dishes, pastries, and fusion recipes. Their deep colour and rich flavour make them a strong fit for the growing ‘vibrant plate’ trend worldwide.
Passion fruit is increasingly used in the Middle East for yoghurt toppings, drinks, and sauces. Its sharpness balances creamy and velvety textures perfectly.
