Yotam ottolenghi recipes

As part of our A Home-Cooked Summer campaign, Yotam Ottolenghi shares five recipes from his best-selling cookbook, Ottolenghi SIMPLE, to see you through the new normal ahead, from a comforting classic to a store cupboard superstar.

For 10 years I've been making this one thing from a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe to upgrade all my salads.

An all-time favourite Ottolenghi recipe, these beef meatballs are packed with broad beans, making this a perfect spring supper.

Up your game by serving it on aromatic cinnamon and ginger oil, or with roast garlic and mushrooms, or even under marinated grilled quail skewers

This carrot layer cake is a twist on Ottolenghi carrot cake recipe. It's a moist cake filled with carrots, spices, and cream cheese frosting.

Call these Ottolenghi salads ‘sides’ at your peril – these dishes are just as flavourful as the rest of your summer spread.

There’s no reason cauliflower cheese, roast celeriac or braised carrots and leeks can’t be the stars of the show, rather than just the support acts

Iranian dried sour plums, known as aloo bukhara, are like nature’s candy; they are beautifully orange, sweet, sour and hard to resist. You can find them in most Middle Eastern supermarkets, but if you can’t get your hands on any, then use dried apricots or sour cherries instead. This is a celebration dish, perfect for sharing and well worth the effort

These roast potatoes might just disappear before they even reach the dinner table. With a golden crunch on the outside and a fluffiness within, they’re tossed in a vibrant green sauce, soaking up its tangy notes while maintaining their delightful crunch. And when drizzled with tahini sauce, they take on a creamy richness.
