Harissa Chicken, Sweet Potato and Red Pepper Traybake, Parsley Yoghurt and a Lemon, Olive and Herb Dressing
This recipe uses the tried and tested combination of harissa, sweet potato and red pepper for a deliciously simple midweek meal.

Harissa Cauliflower Steak with Sundried Tomato Whipped Feta, Zingy Herb Dressing, Spiced Cauliflower Couscous and a Caper, Raisin and Pinenut Salsa
With this recipe you can feed a family of 4 for under £10. It’s full of flavour and texture and a delicious, satisfying veggie meal. The cauliflower “steaks” become beautifully soft, buttery and caramelised and absorb all the lovely flavours from my favourite rose harissa paste. The whipped feta is a complete game-changer and this recipe would work so well as part of any meat/fish/mezze spread.
Spiced Salmon with Sumac Tabbouleh, Crispy Chickpeas and Tahini Dill Dressing
This recipe has bags of flavour, plenty of texture and is very healthy and quick to make.

The spices on the salmon compliment the creaminess of the dressing, zestiness of the sumac tabbouleh and the crunch of the chickpeas.

The broccoli recipe is from Ottolenghi’s Simple and is one of my favourites - a must try. This is a staple dish in our kitchen and I hope it will become one of yours too.

The roasted squash and sprouts crusted with dukkah, coriander, cumin seeds and nigella seeds is delicious. Teamed with creamy labneh yoghurt which is so easy to make, zingy green zhoug dressing, crunchy toasted walnuts and sweet juicy dates, this would be a great addition to any feast and a different way to have sprouts on Christmas Day.
