Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
Beetroot, Feta and Coriander Burgers
Sometimes it’s nice to have a meat free healthy lunch or dinner. These burgers were surprisingly filling and tasted delicious. The feta seasoned the beetroot so well and added a really good texture. There is quite a lot of water in beetroot so I had to give mine a good squeeze to get it as…
Sweet Potato, Chorizo and Feta Frittata
I love frittata as you can really chuck anything into it and it doesn’t need many ingredients. It’s a bit more substantial and fluffier than an omelette. I decided to go for Mediterranean flavours that work really well together. You get sweetness from the potato, saltiness from the feta and a spicy kick from the…
Sous Vide Pork Fillet on Garlic and Thyme Borlotti Beans with Salsa Verde
This dinner was delicious. My husband and I treated ourselves to a sous vide machine and it has been a revelation. We first made char Sui pork and the meat was so tender. This time we thought we would keep it simple, the pork flavour is amazing and the meat just melts in the mouth….
Halloumi and Lentil Salad with a Sweet Chilli Dressing
Halloumi takes on flavours really well and the Thai sweet chilli sauce adds such a nice flavour against the salty, creamy halloumi and earthy lentils. I always replace a block as it’s a quick healthy chuck together lunch. The other thing I keep in the cupboard is a box of puy lentils. I have learnt…
Slow Cooked Pulled Lamb with Shallots, Garlic and Balsamic Vinegar
Roast lamb is my favourite roast ever particularly when really slow cooked. We usually make merguez lamb which is so delicious, tasty and juicy but I thought I would mix it up as I saw a similar recipe to this on a cooking show. I was not disappointed it tasted that good that I was…
Whole Wheat Tuna Pasta Salad with Oregano, Capers and a Lemon Dressing
When I first started making salads for work and lunch, pasta and tuna were one of the first I learned. Back then I didn’t know what a caper was whereas now I love them and we got through a jar every couple of weeks. I think tuna and pasta are such a comforting combination I…
Healthy Sausage, Fennel and Salsify Tray Bake
I love a one pan dish as it makes for a quick easy mid week dinner. Sausages make a great dinner. Instead of salsify you could use new potatoes. The mustard sauce goes so well with the aniseed from the fennel. You could chuck anything into this really I just used what I had at…
Cooked Chorizo on a Bulgar Wheat Salad Loaded with Roasted Courgettes and Tomatoes
So we are well into spring (sort of) so all the British tomatoes and courgettes are starting to appear. I love casseroles and roasted root vegetables salads but I am ready for some lighter lunches and dinners. I really like bulgar wheat but unless you pack it with flavours it can be a bit bland….
John Dory Fillets with a Caper and Lemon Sauce and Stir Fried Kale with Pancetta
I love going to the fishmonger and buying local fish as your not sure what you are going to get or what is in season. So on this visit they had some stunning John Dory. It is quite a distinctive looking fish with its sail fins and black dot (I’m sure there is a religious…
