The peppers are coated in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a blend of Italian seasonings, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. All the flavours of a doner kebab are there, thanks to the shawarma seasoning, but the accompaniment of lentils, prebiotic red cabbage and pickled vegetables makes this dish a treat, not just for your taste buds, but also for your gut. Eating well doesn’t need to be dull food and deprivation – it should be eating a wonderfully varied, vibrant and exciting range of foods. Blend the roasted peppers, harissa paste and olive oil with a touch of salt to form a smooth, spicy pepper sauce.

After I won, so many women from South Asian backgrounds reached out to express their joy that I had shared our culinary heritage. Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
