Tarator is an intense nut and garlic paste (or sometimes soup) that's found throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East in various guises. Here, chef Neil Campbell serves a walnut- and sage-flavoured version to go alongside barbecued leeks, finished with a drizzle of date molasses-spiked brown butter. A wonderful vegetarian dish that's full of rich, smoky, sweet flavours.
