Christmas Eve Poached Salmon
This is a great dish to make before Christmas Day if you have friends or family round but don’t want to eat something heavy before the big day. Then again its great to have any time of year. Best served with potato salad http://www.myingredients.com/recipes/homemade-potato-salad/ and samphire.
Chicken Noodle Soup – Feel good soup
This is a feel good soup, especially for these winter months. A bowl or two of this will sort you right out. My little boy calls it ‘feel me better soup’. 🙂
Mulligatawny Chicken
Tomato, apple and a wee bit of spice, a lovely combination and a favourite with the family. It sounds a funny old mix of ingredients, but it really works!
Slow cooked oxtail and gnocchi
Comfort food doesn’t have to be bland. If you have the time this Italian winter warmer makes dark days worth looking forward to.
Lightly spiced Red Lentil soup
A quick and tasty soup, you can vary the vegetables as you like, it is a great way to get lots of goodness though.
Bavarian Pumpkin Soup
Tasty way to use Pumpkin flesh after carving Halloween lanterns. This can be as simple or as luxurious as you want. Best served up with crunchy bread.
Homemade Burgers
Tasty homemade burgers, which are healthy and really easy to put together. Less than 600 cals with a wholemeal burger and some salad 🙂
Cottage Pie
Perfect Comfort food on a chilly evening! I get loads of veg in mine and it gets demolished with all that lovely sauce!
Easy and Quick Puttanesca Sauce
A really simple and quick dinner time classic. Easy to rustle up with a few cupboard staples, and cheap too.
Caribbean Fish Curry
This is a quick to put together curry which is a bit different but I have yet to meet someone who didn’t like it. You can use any firm fleshed white fish I use haddock here but if you want to make it for a fancy dinner party you could use monkfish or halibut. Best served with rice and a garnish of coriander leaves and lime wedges.
