Tuesday: Beef Keftas with Tabbouleh and Sumac Sauce

Just the thing to put a little sunshine in your summer!
Wednesday: Tomato and Peach Salad with Béarnaise Dressing

Serve it with a dressing that combines egg yolks, shallots and tarragon, inspired by classic Béarnaise sauce. A lovely discovery to add to your recipe collection.
