A divine dressing.
This sticky dressing is divine. I'm sure you will find many uses for it in your kitchen, but my favourite way is to simply drizzle it over crisp sugar snap peas and delicious green beans blanched in hot water.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 servings as a side
INGREDIENTS
- 300g sugar snap peas, finely sliced
- 300g green beans, roughly chopped into 3cm pieces
- 300g cooked brown lentils
- 1 small red pepper (120g), deseeded and finely chopped
- 10g coriander, leaves and stalks finely chopped
- 10g mint, leaves only, finely chopped
For the dressing:
- 2 tsp tamarind paste
- 4 tbsp date molasses or coconut sugar
- 4 tbsp black vinegar or sherry vinegar
- 4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- Juice of 1 lime
METHOD
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a pan over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8 minutes or until reduced to a thick, sticky mixture that thickly coats the back of a spoon.
- Meanwhile, blanch the sugar snaps and green beans in a large pan of boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
- Toss onto a large platter with the lentils and red pepper, drizzle the sticky dressing over the top and carefully toss through with tongs. Scatter over the herbs and serve.

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.

‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
