Easy Fast Chicken Curry

This is a super-fast and simple way to make a delicious curry. I am using leftover roast chicken, but of course you can use raw chicken (just cook it off first), beef, pork, prawns or make it vegetarian by using chickpeas or a mix of pulses. You could also add in a handful of frozen peas, that will add a lovely sweetness to it.

My Favourite Way to Roast Chicken

We all have our own favourite ways to roast chicken and are always so curious to see if there are any tips to make it that bit better. My top tip in this recipe is to spoon the flavoured butter up underneath the skin of the chicken breast – it transforms the flavour and moistness of the chicken. Serve with honey-roasted carrots and parsnips, mashed potato, gravy and mustard for a traditional chicken feast.

Sweet Potato Falafels with Harissa Dip

A delicious healthy midweek supper that is pretty simple to make. The sweet potato makes the falafels lovely and moist and the spices and lemon perk up the chickpea flour. These falafels are so good dipped in the spicy harissa yogurt. You can also try wrapping them in a warmed wholemeal pitta. Harissa is one of my storecupboard staples, and I would urge you to get a few jars – it has a slow-burning chilli heat, balanced with a sweet smokiness that adds a real depth of flavour to any dish. You can dollop harissa on eggs or avocado toast, use it to marinade vegetables, or add it to couscous or grilled halloumi.

Spanish Fish Stew

This recipe is bursting with fresh Spanish flavours – sweet tomatoes, earthy olives, nutty almonds and fragrant saffron infusing the fish. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare and only 30 minutes to cook in the oven. If you don’t have saffron, you can use 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika or chilli flakes. I like to serve this dish with herbed rice to add freshness to the aromatic flavours of the stew. Use whatever fresh herbs you have, chop them up finely and mix them through cooked rice.

Aubergine Parmigiana

Aubergine parmigiana is one of the most iconic Italian dishes. It is made with fried aubergine slices, layered with tomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano. The dish is then baked till golden brown. I assure you there is nothing better than cutting through layers of delicious aubergine and seeing the mozzarella stretching out of it.
