Slowcook

A sure-fire crowd-pleaser. Brine the pork overnight for juicy, tender meat that just won't quit.

With a rich and creamy potato topping and lamb shoulder in the filling, this dish is like the luxe cousin to shepherd's pie.

"Lamb rubbed with spices and cooked slowly is quite a traditional preparation in the Middle East,” says Greg Malouf. “Served with moghrabieh, giant couscous, this is a great dish to put in the middle of the table with some yoghurt and away you go.”

An intriguing name like this could only come from one chef: Miznon's Eyal Shani.

Could this be the hit dish from Pinbone's Italian pop-up, Mr Liquor's Dirty Italian Disco? It certainly gets a vote from us.

With winter around the corner it's time to fire up the stove and create some comfort-food magic with a little help from the experts.
