Lamb mince stuffed peppers with yogurt and sumac

Merguez is a type of north African sausage made with spiced lamb or beef. They’re available from some butchers but can be hard to come by in the UK, so we’ve concocted our own cheat’s version using lamb mince and spices that’s perfect stuffed inside peppers for a quick midweek dinner.

Ingredients

Roast beef pan bagnat

The pan bagnat is the king of picnic sandwiches. Why? It actually benefits from being made in advance, wrapped up tightly and left so the flavours mingle and soak into the bread. Traditionally made with tuna, our meaty twist on the classic pan bagnat substitutes rare slices of roast beef instead. It’s the definition of a picnic showstopper.

Best of the best steak tartare

Ingredients

Short rib ragù with pappardelle

Some short ribs are fattier than others, so if the ragù develops an oily layer on top, skim it off with a large spoon. Leave it to cool and solidify before discarding – don’t pour it down the sink.
