Love biryani but wanting a carb-free alternative to the rice? Look no further than our cauliflower rice chicken biryani. By cutting the cauliflower by hand you get a better texture for the ‘rice’, or pulse in a food processor and check regularly to stop it going too watery. Doing smaller amounts at one time also helps.

This week we are going #meatfree for our two recipes. This bean and barley braise is a great, filling vegetarian meal. Perfect served with some bread, yoghurt and chilli. Another great meal from pantry staples. Planning one pantry meal a week helps reduce food waste if you need to delay it. The barley in this meal bulks out the dish. If you are gluten free, substitute the barley with brown rice. Dinner done.  [Read more…] about Bean and barley braise

Mastering some tasty, homemade marinades is the key for quick meals that are cooked from scratch. We love this simple Indian chicken marinade either in a wrap or served with a simple salad or rice. It is made from just four key ingredients you generally have at home. Use your favourite meat or even marinate eggplant and then bake it. [Read more…] about Indian chicken marinade

Warm up with minestrone. A hearty minestrone is a meal in itself. It is the perfect soup for any vegetables in your crisper – cauliflower, cabbage, spinach can easily find a home along with any winter root vegetables. We pre-cook the pasta so that it doesn’t soak up all the liquid from the soup. [Read more…] about Minestrone

Making your own crumbed chicken is so easy it is a meal the kids can cook. We like to use chicken thighs as they are lovely and moist, however, you can also use chicken breast fillets. We recommend slicing them through horizontally to cook more evenly.  [Read more…] about Crumbed chicken thighs
