Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower Biryani

April 20, 2017 By Rachel Leave a Comment

There's more to leftover chicken than sandwiches and this biryani with roasted spiced cauliflower is a great way to use it up in a family meal. This is a simplified version of a traditional biryani; it's not too spicy but it's just as tasty, and, with the addition of the roasted cauliflower it's very healthy too.

Sausage and Pumpkin with Orzo

November 8, 2016 By Rachel Leave a Comment

This one pan dish is a real winner and lets face who doesn't like sausages. In this recipe I used spicy Italian sausages but any pork sausage will be perfect. If using pork sausages a good pinch of chilli flakes will add a welcome kick to the dish.

Salmon with puy lentils and beetroot

January 21, 2016 By Rachel Leave a Comment

This is a lovely winter salmon dish with earthy and sweet flavours from the puy lentils and beetroot. Use any type of beetroot and if your short of time the pre packed cooked beetroot (not pickled) will work fine. Puy lentils are also available pre cooked and are ideal for this recipe.
