Rice w Lime & Coriander
This combination is a winner. Use it as a side with chicken and you’re onto a mid week meal with 5 star qualities. If you don’t like coriander, swap out with thyme. If you don’t like thyme then just have cornflakes!
Jerk Chicken Curry
Ok! I confess, this isn’t exactly a curry, more like pan fried chicken with a wonderful curry sauce. Really quick to create and fab to eat. You’ll find most of the ingredients just sitting and waiting in your pantry.
Mushroom, Thyme & Black Garlic Pate
A beautiful, seasonal paté, full of flavour and easy to knock up in minutes.
Ricotta & Red Pepper Frittata
A beautiful vegetarian dish, served with green olive tapenade, carrot & coriander sauce.
