Dukkah Roasted Butternut Squash with Brussel Sprouts, Dates, Labneh, Zhoug and Pecans
This dish would make a great side dish but it also made a lovely light dinner for us. Meat free and vegetarian, it’s full of flavour and texture. 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.
Chargrilled Sweetheart Cabbage with Harissa Butter, Preserved Lemon and Parsley Yoghurt, Pickled Red Onions, Toasted Hazelnuts and Raisins
I love the smokiness of the charred cabbage with the heat of the harissa butter, cooling sharpness of the lemon yoghurt, and all the textures from the toasted nuts, pickled onions and sweetness from the raisins. This is a filling, flavour packed veggie dish which works great on its own or as a side dish and can easily be made vegan.
Roasted Beetroot, Butternut Squash and Puy Lentil Salad with Feta, Dijon Dressing and Crunchy Honey Garlic Seeds
