OTTOLENGHI ARTICLE - TOP RECIPES of 2024
ottolenghi.substack.com/p/happy-new-year
INGREDIENTS
1 cup (200g) green or brown lentils (I used red lentils)
1x medium onion (finely chopped)
4x cloves garlic (grated/ chopped)
3x celery stalks (chopped)
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp aleppo chillies (or any chilli of your choice)
4 cups (950ml) vegetable broth (or water)
¼ cup (60ml) pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup (30g) flat leafed parsley (chopped)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
WHIPPED LEMON TAHINI
½ cup (120g tahini
¼ cup (60ml) cold water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic (grated)
ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
Toasted pumpkin seeds (or other nuts/seeds)
METHOD
1. Chop up all your veg and herbs, then place into side bowls.
2. Put a large saucepan onto a medium heat and add your lemon juice and molasses. When hot, add the onions & chopped garlic cloves. Stir to mix, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes, until golden, reduced and brown.
3. Now add your chopped celery
4. While the onions are cooking, wash the lentils and put to one side.
5. Put two tablespoons of oil in a wide frying or saute pan for which you have a lid, and put it on a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the celery, cook, stirring, for five minutes, then stir in the spices.
6. Add the lentils, a teaspoon and three-quarters of salt and a litre of water, pop on the lid and cook for 30 minutes, until the lentils are cooked, then stir in the pomegranate molasses, aleppo pepper, parsley and all the onions and oil still left in the other pan (save the onions in the bowl to finish the dish).
7. To make the whipped tahini, use a small blender or stick blender to blitz the tahini, the reserved cooked whole garlic cloves, lemon juice and 100ml water until thick and mousse-like.
8. To serve, divide the lentil mixture between four bowls, spoon a dollop of tahini in the centre of each bowl and dent it with the back of a spoon. Put a quarter of the onions from the bowl in the centre of each pool of tahini, then drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle a big pinch of aleppo pepper over each bowl, then serve.
HIBBY's HELPFUL TIPS
- Lentil Choice: Puy lentils hold their shape beautifully, but brown or green lentils work just as well.
Tahini Consistency: Don't be afraid to add more water to the tahini if it gets too thick. You want a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Flavour Boost: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish just before serving brightens the flavours even more.
- Make Ahead: The lentils and tahini can be made ahead of time and stored separately in the refrigerator. Reheat the lentils gently before assembling the dish.
- Spice Level: Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Hello, Sir, How are you? I hope you are well. I am a professional digital marketer and SEO expert. I already visited and analyzed your UA-cam channel." Happy Hungry Hibby" Your channel and video content are excellent. Your video's thumbnail is beautiful. But there are some problems in your channel: 1. The video SEO score is very low. 2. The title and description are not SEO -friendly 3. You did not add a high-volume ranked tag. 4. You did not add the triple keyword in your video. As a result, views, likes, and subscribers are not increasing.
Curious what initial investment was for the grow kit? Thanks!
@@jencollier8306 it was about £20 but you can grow quite a few batches from it, if your careful. It was just really fascinating and great introduction to mushroom growing. The book is also good and did a review of that. This shows you how you can actually do it all yourself. The company is really genuine, check them out… www.caleybrothers.co.uk
I’m making today! Subbing half the tahini for tofu and adding cabbage to the lentils bc I have a ton of it. Thanks for doing the work!
That’s a great idea 💡 Not tried cabbage with lentils before, let me know how it goes. Not everyone likes Tahini, so that is also a great option
That product Zoe 30+ is a rip off i agree! £40 pounds . M&S Gut Health product has 35 plus more than Zoe even and cost only £6 pound . Their kefir is pricey, but i noticed its of better quality compared others.
I glad you agree. I did actually do another review of their latest cookbook, which in fairness, was quite good. I felt very strong about the over pricing of these products and feel they are letting the Zoe brand down. There are a lot of products that you can make yourself, which my channel covers. This includes dairy and water kefir, so hope you check these videos out too. Thanks for your kind comments. James
@HappyHungryHibby Agreed 💯 it's supposed to help the masses with a health message yet sell products that easy to manufacture at extortionate prices even when in the supermarket. Thanks 👍🏻 will check it out
hello friends, I'm your friend from Indonesia here... success yes
Thank you, welcome
That looks really tasty! I love Tahini in anything!
Thanks for your kind feedback. This tahini dressing is an absolute winner. How did you discover my channel?
Bạn cho tôi hỏi ,làm thế nào để có các hạt kefir grains.bạn hãy chỉ cách để tạo ra các hạt này không?.
You can purchase them from fermented specialists and have covered a video on this but this is based in the UK. They are called ‘Happy Kombucha’ but sure there would be a similar company in different countries. I’m not familiar with how you grow them though but think they originate in certain countries and climates. Hope this helps
So pretty! This is a nice series to show off your travels. Devon and Cornwall are on our growing list of counties in England to visit!
@@TastyThriftyTimely awww thanks Kathryn. I do enjoy doing some travel videos and also enjoyed your great adventure and journey from East to West Canada 🇨🇦 😜
That sea tractor is so interesting! Looks beautiful and great that Harvey got to go too!
Thanks Kathryn, this was an amazing adventure and the hotel looked great too. Would love to stay there. Hope you’re both well ☺️
Where is your fermenting jar from? The glasss one with the red top? I heard you say it but didnt catch it. I just looked it up and saw some on Amazon. I wonder if they are as good as yours?
Hi James, how are you? This shawarma recipe is delicious. I like the caramelized onions. I've tried Tempeh before, but I personally don't like it. I like the pomegranate toping at the end.
Hey Ritana, I’m good thanks, how are you? This is an amazing recipe and originally has Turkey or lamb mincemeat but replaced with tempeh to make vegan. You would never really know tho. You can always stick to the original recipe. Here it is… ottolenghi.co.uk/pages/recipes/shawarma-meatloaf-caramelised-onions
Thank you for the great review and cuddle on Harvey for me 😂
Thanks for the kind feedback. I’ve done a few video reviews of Zoe now, including product and their new cookbook review. I’ve not yet published my final thoughts and review of my outcome from this yet tho
Great video! But why don’t you drain & rinse your canned beans 🫘?? I find them much too gassy used straight out of the can (not to mention slimy 😮). And I know that turmeric is supposed to be one of those superfoods we should all consume many more of, but I find it [dried turmeric] quite a bitter spice. Does anyone else have that same reaction?
Thanks for your kind feedback. Adding the liquid is totally optional. This can sometimes be used as a thickener, including the liquid from chickpeas and has added protein but if this causes gassing, just drain and even rinse. I’ll be sure to have that as optional in future. I’m sure there is a way around removing the bitterness from turmeric. Have you tried fresh? I finely slice it, then pickle, which I prefer. James
Good to know, thanks! I have also read that if you dry the tomato skins after parboiling to remove the skins when making sauce or salsa, grinding the dried tomato skins makes the most excellent tomato powder that can be used to flavour all kinds of foods… even buttered popcorn! 60C =140 °F, for your North American fans.
Thanks for your wonderful insight, I’ve never tried the skin of tomatoes and no doubt it is amazing. There is so much nutrition and flavour on the skin. I’ve actually done this with plum skins, so hope you check this video out! Dehydrated Dried Plum Skin Powder ua-cam.com/video/6bXrRnr6hZs/v-deo.html
thanks for the video that got me here, and for the written recipe that showed me how to cook the black lentils with the rest of the ingredients. ;-)
Thanks for dropping by and for your kind feedback! It’s an absolute pleasure! Just realised this was published as a short and not my actual video, here it is… ua-cam.com/video/95db9_C_Okg/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing
It’s an absolute pleasure, always glad to inspire. It’s super easy
I’m doing this
Let me know how you get on
I have to make this ❤️!
It’s simple and great topping ☺️
This meatloaf looks delicious, James 😋!
Awww thanks Thuy! I actually went to see Ottolenghi at his show at The Lowry in Manchester and this was the most discussed recipe
I was gripped by this! Looking around for an aubergine recipe and found your wonderful channel. I wondered whether you could serve it on flatbread too.
Hey Jane, thanks for dropping by and for your kind feedback. I've actually done a lot of aubergine recipes, of which most have been influenced by Ottolenghi. You can absolutely serve this in a flatbread and sounds like a great idea, as an alternative to having it as a dip, use it as a spread. I suppose you could even put it in a jacket potato! Here is my playlist for all my other Aubergine recipes... ua-cam.com/play/PLXObAaEdpysW7QFWu2nt-QZmEWVXpNAJ-.html Kind Regards, James
Have you ever made kimchi? I really like it, but it’s quite expensive and a lot of ready made kimchi contains fish sauce. I’d like to make my own but it looks a bit complicated!
Hey Helen, hope you’re well. I’ve made sauerkraut and done a couple of videos on that but not Kimchi but really keen to cover something, thanks for the nudge! You can actually buy a vegan fish sauce but alternatively use miso for a hit of Umami, to make it a Japanese twist on an original Korean recipe. James 🙂
This looks great! Thank you for sharing. I'll check out the book too.
Thanks for your kind feedback! I’ve actually done a cookbook review of this too. Will cover another recipe soon. James 😊
Great insight!
@@TheWonderingEnglishman thanks Alex! Thought this was a bit different! Did you find my Nigella bit entertaining??
I have a copy - love this book - Think it’s one of best cookbooks ever! Love the layout & especially the ingredients photographed top of each recipe. I have many, many, many cookbooks - this one of my favourites.
Thanks for your feedback! It’s definitely my favourite of both releases from Carleigh. I’m going to cover a top 5 cookbook review soon, so help you’ve subscribed. James 😊
Why did you weigh the salt then?
To be honest, I filmed this raw and more documentary of first times results. I also wanted to minimise the amount of salt and also not waste some very expensive sea salt I purchased from Helen Mon. Feel free to experiment. Hope you found this helpful, it was truly amazing and forever doing this now. Even bought a fridge for my garage to store fermented and pickled foods! 😂 🤪
Looks fabulous and I love the way you amend recipes to plant based without oil. Just perfect for me :) What was the cherry booze stuff you added? And good on ya for using Yorkshire made Tempeh by Tofoo 😊
Awww thanks for your kind feedback, this means the world to me! It’s a Belgium Cherry Beer by La Chouffe 🍺 🇧🇪 You can buy it at Sainsburys or Waitrose, they are amazing. I try to transfer all my recipes to be WFPB, so really hope you enjoy my content. James 😊
Really creamy
Thanks for reminding me, definitely need to make this again
Have this book❤
It’s definitely the best from both she’s published! Will be doing a top 5 plant based cookbooks soon, so watch this space 😜📖
I'm going to send this recipe to my mum as she loves to make a meatloaf, and I would love it to taste top notch, thankyou for sharing
Thanks Kirsty, let me know how she finds it. It’s definitely the best recipe from this cookbook. Hope you’re all well. James
If you want to save your knives, don't use the edge (cutting side) of the knife for scraping, flip the knife over and use the spine. I literally cringed when I saw you scrape your courgette using the edge! Otherwise, thanks for the video! Can't wait to make this!
Thanks for your honest feedback. I’ll be conscious of this and actually looking at different and efficient ways of sharpening my knives. Really appreciated, thanks
Liked your review about ZOE daily 30 supplement. Have been thinking joiining ZOE. The cost has put me off ,because money is tight for Me. And because you have done it. I will save my money and Buy better food with the Money.
Thanks for your feedback, I’ve done a few honest reviews and generally enjoy this cookbook. There are now cheaper programmes to get testing done and think the Zoe programme has lists its way, in the money making side, as everything does. Glad that they have redeemed themselves from the 30+ plant supplement, which really let them down. I still have it in my cupboard and that annoyed, I can’t bring myself to finish it!
Me too
Cool 😎
Hi, James, a beautiful place and views, the sun, hills, and the sea and port!, Have a great new year! All the best for 2025, many regards, Ian & Zey :)
Hey Ian & Zey, thanks for dropping by and for your kindness. All the best for 2025, to both of you. James 🙂
This looks great - thanks for sharing! Debbie in WA Ü
Awww thanks Debbie! Where is WA?? Is it a country or a State in the USA?? 🇺🇸
@@HappyHungryHibby Yes, Washington State (most northern and west state in the US) 🌲🌲
@ yes, I’m familiar with this state and always wanted to visit. Seen some great documentaries 😜
@@HappyHungryHibby I'm originally from outside of Chicago, IL - and never thought we'd be living in the BEAUTIFUL Pacific Northwest. The scenery in this state is magnificent!
Happy hungry hibby... when you are saying all those temperatures is that centigrade?
@@GoRodent yes. I’m meaning to cover both temperatures but this is generally the metric we use in the UK
@HappyHungryHibby thanks for the quick reply..that explains alot.
Brilliant tutorial. And great ideas for flavours and where to get the bottles in the UK
Thanks for your kind feedback! I’m still using the same batch and this is now a way of life for me now. I bought some fantastic vintage style bottles from The Happy Kombucha UK website last month too, they are amazing 🤩 🫙 My favourite flavour additions are dehydrated figs and limes. Also covered a video on how to make these in your airfryer. Hope these help too. Kind Regards, James
Buy Some StarSan sanitizer. It doesn't make a sanitary jar with hot water and then wiping it out with a towel. The towel makes the jar not sanitized.
Thanks for your feedback, that’s a really good point and something I’ll start doing. It’s not a good idea to be sterilising with boiled water from a kettle. Bought myself some. Thanks, HHH
Damn, those look delicious! Can't wait to try them❤
Thanks for your kind feedback! Absolutely love this cookbook and restaurant. Covered quite a few recipes from here. Thanks for dropping by. HHH 😊

I see this is dated 2 years ago. Only just found your channel. Lucky wife coming home to a delicious pasta meal, glass of well-chosen wine and, of course, those blue eyes. Anyway, share your enthusiasm for aubergine - so versatile, low on calories, high on nutrition. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel. Thank you for the excellent tuition regarding this recipe.
@@sylviaroberts8103 awww thanks Sylvia, for your kind words. You’ve totally refuelled my passion for doing these videos! I’m still very active on my channel, so hope you enjoy my content and let me know if you want me to cover anything?! I do have a playlist for Aubergines and you will love the Aubergine Alla Parmigiana recipe. James 🤪
I’m new to your channel & love the content I was delighted to see your review of Tim Spectre’s new cookbook I have just received my copy, can’t wait to see you make some of his recipes. X
Hey Mary, thanks for dropping by and for your kind feedback. Yes, I’ll be definitely cooking something soon. Is there something you recommend?? Maybe a challenging recipe I can help with?? I’ve covered so many plant based recipes now but mainly Ottolenghi recipes. James 🙂
Hi James sorry for my late reply i’m away at the moment. Would be great to see you cook any of Tim’s recipes.👍
I'll definitely have to try this. It looks delicious... all those onions must add sooo much flavour. I've been working on a recipe where I add crispy sage so this was perfect timing to see how it was used here. Thank you James!
Hey Kathryn, thanks for dropping by, totally appreciated and honoured! 😜 Some of the simple recipes are the best but Sage is definitely an unsung hero. I’ve covered a few crispy sage recipes now and it’s quite difficult to perfect this. I did actually turn each leaf carefully which I didn’t show on this video but worth doing. Just be sure to do it at the beginning and reuse the oil, as this really does infuse. James 🙂
Sounds wonderful. Thanks for pointing it out. I have some of his cookbooks, but often don't have the ingredients. Much appreciate your videos Shell X
@@beanfeast57 thanks for your kind feedback She’ll! I’ve covered so many Ottolenghi recipes now but can’t wait to do the vegan meatloaf. This is great due to the simplicity. James x
Great video Thanks. Thoughts on browning some butter instead of using olive oil? 🧐
@@UpintheairFL of course, you can actually try this separately with the sage and caramelised onions. Feel free to experiment and let me know how you get on
Such a delicious and comforting pasta dish, James 😋!
@@thuycooks thanks for dropping by Thuy ☺️🙏
Great Stuff
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😜
Right then! Sounds delicious and glad you are working your way through the Ottolenghi book. What's been your favourite recipe so far?
I love that you grow your own mushroom! David and I were given a kit to grow our own mushroom and we loved ours.
Awww thanks for dropping by Thuy. It’s great fun and interesting, isn’t it?! James 😊
What a beautiful dish and I love that you use your own homegrown pink oyster mushroom 😋! Harvey is so cute. Xx
Thanks Thuy! This is an amazing dish but can’t wait to cover another recipe I’ve tried. Isn’t Harvey a little cutie! 😊
