Extra Good Things is all about the secret culinary weapons—condiments, sauces, dressings, and more make-ahead items—that can make a good meal spectacular. The abundant, vegetable-forward recipes in this collection give you a delicious, hearty dish, plus that special takeaway—a sauce, a sprinkle, a pickle!—that you can repurpose time and time again in other recipes throughout the week, with limitless opportunity. These extras help you stock your fridges and pantries the Ottolenghi way, so you can effortlessly accessorize plates with pops of texture and color, acidity and heat, and all the magical flavor bombs that keep you coming back for more.
And this is where the fun really begins, with extras like feta marinated with spices and herbs, featured in a dish of oven-braised chickpeas that are used again for a flavorful salad or swirled into soup.
