For a splash of White Lotus chic—why not?—serve it all on colorful dishes like these, designed by the dream host himself.
Salad for Days
Lentil and Pickled Shallot Salad with Berbere Croutons
“This dish has enough substance and kick to be a stand-alone lunch or part of a meze spread,” says the chef. “If you can’t find black radish, just use double the number of red.”
A Bright Side
Grilled Zucchini with Cascabel Honey
Chef’s tip: Make extra infused honey. “Drizzle it on flatbreads with ricotta cheese, or over mozzarella or burrata,” says Ottolenghi. “It’s also great for roasted vegetables.”
The Main Event
Puttanesca-esque Baked Salmon with Olives and Caper Salsa
“The bright red puttanesca-inspired oil makes this recipe a spectacular centerpiece,” says Ottolenghi. “And the lemony salsa is a perfect sidekick for the fish’s richness.”
