Spicy red pepper dip & crispy harissa mince

This is my interpretation of an amazing dish, muhammara, a spicy Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut dip. It’s very easy to pull together, especially if you use a jar of roasted peppers. I’ve topped mine with crispy harissa mince for a more complete meal, but if you leave it out it’s perfect for parties, served with crudités or pitta breads, or spread on the inside of sandwiches.

Takeaway-style mushrooms & ‘egg’

Mushrooms are the hero of this satisfying, sweet and salty dish, so if you’re craving ‘egg’ noodles, it’s so much better than ordering in.

To make the meal more substantial, top with crispy tofu or add more veg.
