Ingredients

Cockle and dill rice

Zainab Pirzada’s cockle rice recipe is inspired by her mum’s signature spicy prawn and dill rice, a family favourite in Karachi, Pakistan. Dill and rice are a wonderful flavour combination and sustainable cockles are inexpensive in the UK and make a wonderful addition.

Techniques

Goat Cheese Chicken Meatballs

I didn’t think meatballs could get better, but that was until we added creamy goat cheese to the middle of one! These easy baked chicken meatballs come together quickly. When choosing the cheese, goat cheese is an excellent option, but other cheeses will work well. Consider feta, cheddar or mozzarella. If you use a melty cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella), you might want to consider stuffing the cheese into the middle of the meatball and covering it completely with meatball mixture.

Creamy Cheesy Bean Dip

Perfect for parties, watching the game and family gatherings, this easy bean dip comes together in no time. Start with canned refried beans or use homemade refried beans to make it. If you follow our recipe for refried beans, you may want to reduce the amount of cumin since we already call for cumin in the refried beans recipe.

Techniques

Seriously Good Guinness Beef Stew

This is an unbelievably delicious Guinness beef stew with melt-in-your-mouth tender beef, carrots, and potatoes. If you don’t have Guinness on hand, use your favorite dark beer, dry red wine, or coffee. As a last resort, use more beef stock.

Techniques

Easy Creamy Coleslaw

Here’s how I make my favorite creamy coleslaw! The dressing is super simple but so delicious. I don’t add sugar to the dressing and love it without. To make this a sweeter coleslaw, add a teaspoon or two of sugar (or honey) to the dressing before mixing with the cabbage and carrots. When I have it in my kitchen, I love using homemade mayonnaise for the coleslaw dressing!

Techniques

Think of this broccoli slaw recipe as a mixup between broccoli salad and coleslaw. Serve this on the side or add it to sandwiches or burgers for some extra crunch.

Meals & Dishes

Roast carrots with shatta butter

Ravinder Bhogal gives classic roast carrots a Middle Eastern twist in this side dish recipe, serving them with pistachios and spicy shatta butter. “Sweet carrots with a tickle of chilli heat make for a vibrant side dish,” she says. “If you’d prefer this to be a starter, serve on a bed of labneh or whipped feta.”

Techniques

Easy Cucumber Salad

The secret to this incredible cucumber salad is salting the cucumbers for 30 minutes. As they sit, the cucumbers become even more “cucumbery” and release extra moisture, which, if not removed, would make the vinegar dressing watery.

Ingredients

Crab and courgette pasta

Grating courgettes into pasta allows them to retain their fresh flavour while melting into a sauce, providing a perfect partner for indulgent crab. This speedy, dairy-free dinner is ultimate summer evening cooking.

Ingredients

Prawn and green bean stew

Inspired by the two Greek dishes prawn saganaki (prawns baked in spicy tomato sauce) and fasolakia (a slow-cooked green bean stew), this dish is ripe for a summer evening. While it’s delicious eaten straightaway, any leftovers served cold the next day are fantastic, so feel free to double up on quantities.
