Fasolakia (green bean and tomato stew)

Fasolakia is a classic Cypriot dish – summery green beans and potatoes swim in a delicious tomato, garlic and olive oil sauce. Even better the next day as the flavours develop, it's non-negotiable to serve with crusty bread (or maybe pilaf) for mopping up all the delicious juices. Each serving provides 490 kcal, 9.4g protein, 28.8g carbohydrate (of which 10.3g sugars), 34.6g fat (of which 5g saturates), 10.2g fibre and 3.32g salt.

Fega’ata, or bottom-of-the-pot chicken and rice

The name of this uniquely Bahraini dish means “bottom of the pot”, which is where all the good stuff happens. The meat (or fish or vegetables) is left to steam and cook gently without any liquid, and the rice is piled on top. Don’t skimp on the onions, because their moisture is what helps move things along. The chicken skin doesn’t go crisp here; instead, it acts as a shield, keeping the meat nice and tender
