This dish is amazing and incredibly tender. The spices don’t over power the lamb at all and they add wonderful layers of flavour. This makes enough for 4 so we have another portion to freeze (yippee). I love how you can put it in the slow cooker and it looks after itself whilst releasing yummy…

Roasted Beetroot and Feta Pate

Hot Smoked Salmon on a bed of Lentils with a Grapefruit, Coriander and Mustard Dressing

Light Leftover Beef Goulash
This is such a good way to use up leftover beef as the sauce keeps the beef nice and moist. It’s also really easy to make as it is just a one pot. I love the flavour of the mushrooms and sour cream instead of heavy cream. Ingredients 2 banana shallots, peeled and diced finely…

Duck Gyoza and Radish Salad with a Sizzling Spring Onion, Ginger and Garlic Dressing
I bought some gyoza from Lidl and thought I might try them in a salad. I steamed half and air fried the rest. The result was I appreciated the crispy ones more. The radish and pepper worked so well and I’ve made this sizzling dressing before it’s so mice as it makes the flavours not…
Turkey Mince and Mushroom Stuffed Baked Courgettes
I’ve been really lucky with my courgette crop this year. I have made courgette crisps and also had them on the bbq. Both were delicious.

Horseradish Jersey Royal Potato Salad with Roast Beef and Chive’s
I love jersey royal season, they are so creamy compared to the usual new potatoes, though I don’t mind them ever. I love a potato salad and it seems to be popular in the US I think we probably stole the idea from them. I bought some roast beef slices but I don’t think they…
