Meera Sodha’s recipe for za’atar roast vegetables with whipped feta | Meera Sodha recipes

Toss spiced roast veg with creamy butter beans, fresh mint and zesty lemon, then pile it all high on a big platter

This year, I bought three oval platters: a small, silver-plated one from a local charity shop on which I serve crisps to make them look fancy; a medium-sized splattered enamel one for everyday everything; and a very large, stainless-steel one for dinner parties. I’m not sure why this happened, but I can tell you that I love the energy that platters give to a table, and the gentle sense of pomp and ceremony they lend even the simplest of meals. My love for the platter has dictated today’s recipe, a final fling with the very last of the summer vegetables served over whipped feta.
