Moroccan spiced and roasted lamb shoulder
A variation of Grigors marinated lamb. An easy and very tasty alternative to a traditional roast. You can serve with new potatoes and seasonal veg, or with quinoa (my new favourite thing!!) and veg. The other great thing about this recipe is that you get lamb shoulder in any supermarket already deboned and butterflied (it is usually rolled up) so you can buy as big or small a piece as you like. Very versatile!!!

Vegetable nasi goreng
This is a really simple, but delicious Indonesian dish. Nice and healthy, with lots of veg and especially so if you use brown rice.
Venison and chorizo casserole
This is such a delicious, warming casserole, you can easily make it into a pie, using puff pastry too. Just line a pie dish with butter, then roll out the pastry, keeping some to top the dish. Line the dish with about two thirds of the party, and fill with the casserole, top with the remaining rolled out pastry, seal the edges and prick carefully. Brush with egg and bake in the oven at 200c for about 20 minutes.
‘Any ocassion’ batch cook mince
This is great for bolognaise , cottage pies, chilli, lasagne, and stuffing peppers too – freezable, so a great one to cook in a big pot and freeze in batches for when needed.
Butternut squash and Wensleydale gnocchi
A great vegetarian main, perfect for any day of the week! A very economical dish too at less than £1 per portion.
Mushroom and soft cheese risotto – a healthier option
This is a lovely way to lighten the calories of an old family favourite. Remember not to overcook the rice, it should be plump, but still have a little bite.
This is freezable too 🙂
Smoky chicken and Mushroom pasta
A quick, tasty, and easy mid week meal 🙂 you can get chipotle paste (mexican) in most good supermarkets now.
