A very good lentil salad from ” The Really Helpful Cookbook” by Ruth Watson. The salad will benefit from being made ahead and sitting in the dressing for a day or two.The tapenade in this recipe does not include any anchovies so it is suitable for vegetarians. You could use ready made tapenade if you like or put anchoiade on the toast instead. Any leftover tapenade can be kept in the fridge for up to a week to serve with drinks .
A dish with Turkish influences from Ravinder Bhogal.In my opinion you can never have enough of mussels, they are cheap, sustainable, healthy and so easy to cook.
A rich soup for autumn or winter from Nigel Slater which I found in ” Greenfeast:autumn,winter”. Serve with bread, either torn and placed in the base of the soup bowl, or toasted and dipped.
