Crispy-skinned chicken thighs roast over a fragrant bed of burst cherry tomatoes, caramelised shallots and briny green olives, perfumed with dried oregano and fresh lemon. The roasting juices are spooned back over the chicken at the table as a light, flavour-packed sauce — a dish that feels both effortless and deeply satisfying.
Crackling thin rounds of hand-rolled dough blanketed with a fiery paste of finely minced lean beef, ripe tomato, red pepper paste and fragrant spices — cooked on a screaming-hot griddle until blistered at the edges, then rolled tightly around peppery rocket leaves and tangy pickled turnip for a street-food experience that is wholly addictive.
Tender grape leaves wrapped around a savory filling of oil-packed tuna, brown rice, bright lemon zest, briny capers, and fresh dill — steamed until silky and served alongside cool, creamy Greek yogurt for dipping. A satisfying, protein-forward mezze that feels elegant yet effortless.
