Though onions are the backbone of so many dishes, they can actually make a brilliant centrepiece. Adapted from Ottolenghi’s miso butter onions, this recipe transforms the humble onion into something incredibly delicious with just three ingredients: gochujang, butter and water. The garnishes aren’t a requirement, though they do add colour and freshness. Serve as is, over rice or with some crusty bread.

Cabbage gets an unfairly bad rap. It’s affordable, incredibly versatile and absolutely delicious when cooked correctly. Charring cabbage brings out its natural sweetness and creates the most beautiful sweet, nutty flavour.
