Throwing all the ingredients onto a tray and letting the oven do the work allows me time to tackle that never-ending to-do list. The miso marinade is super-versatile, too. It goes well with any flaky white fish or boneless chicken thighs. I like to double it up for drizzling over veg.
I’ve used chickpeas in this, but the curry base is adaptable; just add your choice of protein. A squeeze of lemon adds vitamin C to aid iron absorption and mixing quinoa with rice increases your intake of high-fibre wholegrains and protein.
I love to use orzo to make quick creamy pasta after a busy day at work, but you can use this sauce with any kind of pasta. I like to make my own Cajun spice mix as ready-made mixes often contain added salt, but if you don’t think you’ll use up all the individual spices, then take the ready-made option – just check the label to ensure it’s not too salty.
Make this comforting no-bake lasagne and you’ll pack in lots of nutritious veggies, building up to 30 plant points for the week. The courgettes and mushrooms can be swapped out for other seasonal veg – leeks and aubergines work well.
Served with cumin-spiced vegetables this is the perfect roast dinner to shake up up your Sunday lunch. Scrub the veg well but there is no need to peel them. Leaving the skin on adds nutrients and fibre. Using baby potatoes means you don’t have to par-boil them, but if using other potatoes, slice thinly or par-boil first. If you are feeling adventurous, double the chutney ingredients and try marinating a whole roast chicken for a beautiful centrepiece dish.
This is a delicious and comforting fusion pie, combining a spiced coconut fish curry with a light, crispy layer of filo pastry. I’ve used haddock but any firm fish works.
Make our chestnut stuffing as a side for Christmas dinner. It’s made in the air fryer for ease, and goes brilliantly with Christmas turkey and trimmings
Roasted in the air fryer and glazed with sage, nutmeg and honey, these parsnips make a great Christmas side.
You’ll need a pasta machine to make Matty’s tagliatelle which contains spinach for a nutritious boost. A light sauce with tomatoes and prawns creates a vibrant dish
Matty fills these simple ravioli with creamy spinach and ricotta, then tosses them in a fragrant, buttery sauce. (You will need a pasta machine for this)
