Crispy lamb & pea tabbouleh

Make our faff-free traybake kebab and use the leftovers as the base to make this lamb, pea, pomegranate and bulgur wheat tabbouleh. It’s great for make-ahead lunches

Naan gosht (lamb curry)

Try this popular Indian speciality dish. Traditionally, it’s made for special occasions, like weddings and Eid, and served with naan to mop up the spicy gravy

Aubergine fattah

Make this Middle Eastern classic for sharing – layer meat or veg with crisp flatbreads and a yogurt sauce before garnishing with pomegranate seeds

Chicken karahi

This favourite Pakistani curry is traditionally made with goat or lamb, but this version uses chicken. Serve it with naan or rice

Adana kebab

These Turkish kebabs use minimal ingredients so the flavour of the lamb stands out, complemented by red peppers and spicy pul biber

Nihari

Enjoy this slow-cooked spiced lamb stew from Pakistan. It’s particularly popular during Ramadan and is a staple at weddings and celebrations

Haleem (Pakistani haleem)

Enjoy this hearty beef, lentil and oat porridge originating from Pakistan. It’s slow-cooked, then served with naan and lots of spicy, tangy toppings

Ezme

Enjoy this salad to serve with your favourite Turkish dishes. Authentic ezme is very finely hand-chopped, or you can use a food processor, if you like

Baharat chicken with mandarin & chickpeas

Nadiya’s spicy chicken traybake is easy to cook all in one roasting tin. It’s packed with vibrant savoury flavour and hints of sweetness

Spicy red pepper dip & crispy harissa mince

This is my interpretation of an amazing dish, muhammara, a spicy Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut dip. It’s very easy to pull together, especially if you use a jar of roasted peppers. I’ve topped mine with crispy harissa mince for a more complete meal, but if you leave it out it’s perfect for parties, served with crudités or pitta breads, or spread on the inside of sandwiches.
