“This bravely spiced rice and lentil dish is more than a sum of its parts and comes (mostly) from the store cupboard. It’s topped with a crown of crispy frizzled shallots, which brings a key level of crunch and contract to what its otherwise soft and comforting. In its pure Egyptian street-food form there is pasta, macaroni to be precise, and often chickpeas, too. I’ve just used rice and lentils here for simplicity, but you could add a handful of macaroni to the rice, or a drained can of chickpeas, to make it a little more authentic.” – Anna Jones
“This galette, with a hazelnut pastry and a filling of capers and herby goat’s cheese, has become a regular at home for when I have a bag full of purple and jammy figs. I make this pretty tart with a couple of substantial salads for a summer lunch for six; it would serve four with just a side salad. Roasting the figs will bring out their jammy nature, so you can get away with using them slightly under- or overripe here.” – Anna Jones

“Don’t be shocked by the amount of garlic used here: it makes more than you will need but keeps really well in the fridge for months, and once you have used all the cloves, the mellow oil is a quick addition to pastas, pizzas and dressings. I like to use a cast-iron pan – I find it provides a nice even heat. If you have wild garlic to hand, replace the confit garlic and spinach with a couple of handfuls of the leaves, wilting them as you would the spinach.” – Anna Jones
This relatively inexpensive dish really goes a long way, and it only improves in flavour the next day. It is also incredibly versatile, doubling as both a delicious main dish or a side.
“Cooking vegetables like this (pan roasting) happens a lot in restaurant kitchens but it’s a good thing to do at home too. You get the vegetables going in the pan, building up a bit of colour and texture, then blast them in the oven to cook through; they get some direct heat and char from the hob, then come more mellow even heat from the oven. I love adding vinegar when I am cooking vegetables and it’s balanced here by the sweetness of the cauliflower, saffron and pine nuts. This recipe is inspired by the brilliant cook, Lola DeMille.” – Anna Jones
