About

This recipe contains four of my favourite ingredients: garlic, potatoes, chillies and preserved lemons – I’m in heaven with this dish! The salty, tangy preserved lemon plays two parts here: it’s roasted in the same pan as the potatoes along with garlic, jalapeño and red onion, and it’s also used to ramp up the parsley and mint salad that’s sprinkled on just before serving.
