This slow cooked miso pork and butter bean is super easy and the meat can easily be swapped for chicken or lamb. Who doesn't like a one pot recipe? Even better when prep is minimal and it all cooks while you’re at work to come back to your own homemade “ready meal”! I love my slow cooker all year round but especially in autumn winter. Perfect recipe to cook once and eat twice!
This super tasty salmon stir fry recipe is a perfect quick and easy midweek or friday night dinner. The miso marinade can be made ahead and also used with chicken. Stir fries are a quick delicious way to add a large variety or vegetables, colours and nutrients in your diet. This marinated salmon is also delicious served with steamed veggies and even eaten cold for lunch the next day with this asian style slaw.
Salmon is a popular fish in our house - but when I add a teriyaki sauce then it’s even more popular. Rather than the traditional brown sugar found in teriyaki sauces I have swopped to a maple syrup - so it maintains its sweetness without adding any refined sugars. I marinade the salmon for 30 minutes - but if you are short of time then you can shorten to 10 minutes. I like to cook this with one large piece of salmon fillet. I ask the fishmonger for a piece to feed 6 as my teenage sons eat more than most adults!! I serve this with buckwheat noodles and stir fried vegetables.
So incredibly easy to throw together, this bowl is such a quick, simple and delicious dinner for 2 or a crowd pleaser for a dinner party. Packed full of bright, colourful, zingy and nutty flavours, since making it for the first time I have come back to it serving it cold as a starter or warm as a main, perfect for a Friday night with friends. Despite being quite simple to prepare it wows every time with its exotic asian flavours. I have made it with prawns here but panfried salmon works brilliantly too.
We all love a curry in our house and Saturday nights have become a curry night ritual. Pleasing different palates is not always easy - some like a hot curry and others not so much. However this tikka masala seems to please everyone! I know it’s not traditional to add spinach to a tikka masala, but i like to add another vegetable whenever I can! I use 6 chicken breasts to feed my brood of 5 as my two teenagers are permanently hungry. However, unless you too have growing teenagers then adjust portions by using 1 chicken breast per person.
I almost didn’t write this up as a recipe - after all it’s nothing complicated and fancy. Just 6 ingredients thrown together. However it’s been a winner in my house with all the family and so I thought I would share with you - after all we all need those quick and simple recipes to keep us going day in day out! To serve 4 or even 6 then just alter the amount of chicken breasts. My two teenagers seem to be going through a growth spurt at the moment so I often cook 6 chicken breasts for the 5 of us!
