This is super easy and ready in about 20 minutes. Butter beans are one of my favourite pulses because they’re really creamy and soft, so they work very well with the heat of harissa.

These little tofu nuggets are roasted until crisp and golden then coated in a slightly spicy BBQ sauce. Roasting the tofu is a really effective (and healthier.

Apparently puttanesca means ‘in the style of prostitutes’, and if any food could evoke provocation then burrata is probably up there too..

These smoky black beans are super easy and quick to make. Charring the corn gives it a really deep flavour, so I definitely recommend not skipping this step.

I love asparagus so when it’s in season (and a little bit cheaper…), I like to make the most of it. To be entirely honest, I think anything with cream, parmesan, lemon and garlic is going to be delicious.

I love beef curry but it’s usually made with chunks of stewing beef which this takes awhile to cook down and become delicious. So this is a quicker, mid week version.

I usually make this dish with salmon, but chickpeas make a great cost effective and quick alternative. However if you did want to add some pan fried salmon in, it wouldn’t go amiss.

Stroganoff is typically made with beef, but I’ve swapped it here for mushrooms and chickpeas. This by no means is an authentic stroganoff recipe, however I think you’ll love this vegetarian high fibre version.

Caramalising the onions takes a little bit of time, but this dish is very low effort and all made in one pan. It’s a great balance of smoky, sweet and rich, with a little bit of lemon at the end to bring it all together.
