Fatoush salad
This dish has been inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ingredients from Belazu. Belazu source high quality ingredients from over the Mediterranean, now supplying the majority of the top restaurants in the UK. Like most chefs, they believe that the “ingredient is king” – and that a chef can only ever be as good as his ingredients.
