Sweet and salty lentil spaghetti
Sweet and salty lentil spaghetti
This sauce is inspired by the Sicilian dish caponata, but with the salty and sour elements stirred in at the end. When cooking lentils, don't add acidity and salt too early as it can prevent them from becoming tender – good to remember if you’re substituting them for meat or veg in your favourite recipes

Reader recipe: smoky chickpea and chorizo soup
Reader Christina won our September recipe writing competition with this delicious soup. She says: 'I wanted to recreate the sunny flavours of my favourite holiday dish, Chicken Basque, in a warming comforting soup. I cook with big, bold flavours, and love the kick of hot paprika, the vibrant colour, and the tang of orange – it’s the perfect soup for a chilly day.’
