We’re exploring five great recipes this week from Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbooks, and part of what makes them so good is exactly this appeal.

You’ll go cuckoo for this striking one-pan dish inspired by a traditional Persian frittata called kuku sabzi. It comes out of the oven glowing a deep shade of green, ready to take a central spot on the table or to shine as a side with fish and rice. We went light on the eggs—just enough to hold it all together—and heavy on the plants: a motherlode of parsley, cilantro, dill, spinach and lettuce, along with walnuts and dried cranberries (or barberries, for a more authentic accent).

Persian Style Flat Bread Recipe - Naan Taftoon
This is a dish you could make vegetarian or omnivore but I chose to make a chicken version of this dish. It's a Palestinian dish called makloubeh (or maklouba, maklube or maqluba) with fragrantly spiced chicken, soft cauliflower, creamy eggplant and aromatic rice all stacked in layers. Cooked upside down so that the rice steams on top of the layers of chicken and vegetables, you simply flip it upside down when ready so that the chicken sits on top and it looks like a rice cake. It is surprisingly easy and designed to impress. Traditionally it is meant to be eaten with the hands with some flat bread. I first tried it in Oman as a prawn makloubeh and it was fantastic with some yogurt dip.
