We’re excited to announce a menu collaboration with Yasmin Khan, the award-winning food writer and broadcaster whose work travels through Iran, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and South Asia.

Yasmin grew up in an Iranian-Pakistani family in England, with early memories of her grandparents’ farm in Gilan, northern Iran, where rice, vegetables, fruit, yoghurt and pickles were part of everyday life. Her food carries that mix of places. Persian herbs and saffron, olive oil and citrus, Turkish-style vegetables cooked gently in oil, Afghan-spiced pumpkin, South Asian dals and the kind of generous vegetarian cooking she makes at home in London.

We’ve brought together four Yasmin recipes that feel bright, comforting and made for a shared table: mung bean, spinach and tomato daal, Afghan-spiced pumpkin, braised broccoli with red pepper and dill, and saffron rice.

Braised Broccoli with Red Pepper and Dill
Inspired by Turkish zeytinyağlı vegetable dishes, where vegetables are gently cooked with olive oil and served warm or at room temperature. Yasmin’s version pairs broccoli with red pepper, red onion, dill, lemon and pul biber.

Afghan-Spiced Pumpkin
Sweet roasted pumpkin folded through a tomato sauce with garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin, coriander and turmeric, finished with yoghurt and dried mint.

Mung Bean, Spinach and Tomato Daal
A soft, aromatic daal made with whole mung beans, spinach, tomato, ginger, garlic, cumin, turmeric, garam masala and kasoori methi. Comforting, savoury and full of green depth.

Saffron Rice
Fragrant rice with saffron, made to sit underneath the daal and vegetables and pull the whole menu together.

DONATION: For this collaboration, Yasmin is keen to support Hope for the Young, a brilliant London charity helping young refugees and asylum seekers access education, mentoring, advocacy and financial support.

Yasmin’s work has always looked at food alongside people, place and the wider world. So alongside this menu, we wanted to support an organisation doing practical, local work for young people who are building a life in the UK.

50p from every Yasmin Khan dabba sold will be donated to Hope for the Young.
