Three Delicious Recipes with a Spicy Autumn Winter Twist
The best (and tastiest) way to warm up now summer is over, is to add a bit of spice to your favourite dishes
We probably all have a few unused spice blends in the back of the cupboard but Sanjay Aggarwal shares how to add flavour to your favourite everyday dishes. The creator of multi-award winning The Spice Kitchen, Sanjay's first cookbook is all about demystifying spices and reassuring us that we don't need endless time, fancy equipment or a full spice cupboard to create delicious dishes with ease.
Harissa-spiced Veggie Lasagne
This is a lasagne for when you have a little spare time to get the tunes on, don your apron and cook up a storm. It makes enough for a good meal with leftovers for the next day. For a vegan-friendly version, replace the butter, milk, cheddar and parmesan with plant-based alternatives.
Baked Trout with Baharat, Tomato and Lemon
This easy baked trout recipe always goes down a storm in our house! Keeping the fish whole means that it retains its moisture and that it cooks to perfection. Prep the trout in advance as it needs to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Tandoori Spiced Celeriac and Butternut Squash Pie
This is a lovely, warming pie for autumn. Keep everything nice and chunky below the crisp top, or you risk ending up with vegetable mush. This will also work beautifully with carrots, parsnips or a swede – any dense root vegetable or a different squash would be equally delicious.
