Mapo Tofu with Shredded Beef

A traditional Sichuan dish, mapo tofu is made with simmered silken tofu flavored with fermented bean paste, beef, chili bean paste, and a handful of Sichuan peppercorns. The chili bean paste brings the heat, and Sichuan peppercorns bring a pleasantly numbing spiciness to this dish.

Ottolenghi’s Hot Charred Cherry Tomatoes with Cold Yoghurt

One of the beauties of this dish lies in the exciting contrast between the hot, juicy tomatoes and fridge-cold yoghurt, so make sure the tomatoes are straight out of the oven and the yoghurt is straight out of the fridge. The heat of the tomatoes will make the cold yoghurt melt, invitingly, so plenty of crusty sourdough or focaccia to mop it all up with is a must alongside.

Ottolenghi’s Cauliflower, Pomegranate & Pistachio Salad

It was a little moment of revelation, I remember, when I first combined roasted cauliflower and raw grated cauliflower in the same dish. So different from one another, but working so well combined. This is lovely as it is, served as part of a spread, or spooned alongside some roast chicken or lamb. Don’t throw away the leaves of the cauliflower here. They’re lovely to eat, roasted and crisp, or grated raw as you would the rest of the cauliflower. If you want to get ahead, roast the cauliflower up to 4–6 hours in advance. Keep at room temperature and then just combine with the remaining ingredients when ready to serve.

It’s exceptionally creamy, incredibly cheesy and the breadcrumb topping gives it an unbelievable crunch. Coupled with a fresh salad this mac and cheese is the stuff of dreams.
