Lemony Lentil Soup
This lemony lentil soup is full of bright, zesty flavours. A family favourite at this time of year, this soup is a simple purée of red lentils, white onion and garlic with a splash of lemon.
Latkes
The main attraction at any Hannukah gathering, fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside, latkes are made with grated potatoes, eggs, flour and onions. Fried to crispy perfection, they are good hot or cold.
Tzatziki
Greeks and Jews are interwoven in the Hannukah story, this meal represents that with the addition of Greece’s most popular Mezze dish. With cucumber, garlic, yoghurt and dill, it makes simple sour cream feel a little self-conscious. Available with tahini instead #vegan
Fried Eggplant Salad with Dill
Essentially a pile of garlicky fried eggplant with a tangy vinaigrette, this is the perfect Channukah “salad”. Layered with Aleppo pepper, shallots and dill and a hearty helping of olive oil, it only gets better with time.
Loukoumades
Sold in almost every cafe in Greece, with a zest of orange and a hint of cinnamon, these little doughnuts are drenched in honey syrup and make the perfect end to a Channukah meal. Available #vegan
