Recipe from the Ottolenghi cookbook 'Simple': soba noodles with lime, cardamom, and avocado. Fusion squared and a very striking combination. Besides the ingredients in the title, more green things appear: coriander, basil, green pepper (I used the mild Turkish kind and more of it) and pistachios. A savoury summer dish where cardamom truly takes centre stage. Soba noodles are mainly eaten cold in Japan, which pairs perfectly with these fresh flavours. Creamy (avocado, pistachio) and fresh (lime, coriander) are also present in the cardamom, beautifully enhancing each other.
