Lamb Steaks with Tahini Spiced Lentils

Meat Dishes
Bolognese Baked Gnocchi – 10sp
Batch cooking is a great way to prepare for the week ahead and, now I’m cooking for 4 adults on a daily basis, I’ve also found it’s the quickest way to also ‘prepare’ lunch for the next day. This recipe is a real quick and …
Chinese Spicy Orange Beef Stir Fry – 4sp
Some nights just call for a quick and easy tea which can be whacked together in less than half an hour. This dish is definitely one of those. The stir fry sauce itself is very simple but the finished result is so, so tasty, it …
Burger in a Bowl

I always get lots of requests for slow-cooker recipes and this one is up there with some of the best. I love a good ragu. Rich, meaty and divine-smelling, it makes the most wonderful dinner when added to a good pasta. The addition of goat’s …
Speedy Tomatoey Italian Meatballs – 6sp
Meatballs are one of my favourite go to quick and easy dinners as they take hardly any preparation and can be ready in under 15 minutes. These meatballs in particular are delicious with my other favourite at the moment, 0sp Butternut Squash Noodles, or Boodles …
Aromatic Lamb and Giant Cous Cous – 13sp
I love that lean lamb mince is now readily available in supermarkets (at one time I used to have to hunt it down and stock up!!). Its a lovely flavour alternative to regular beef mince and can be used in lots of different ways to …
