00Keralan Turkey mince CurryTurkey mince is economical, low in fat, and very versatile. You can use it to make burgers, bolognese, cottage pie, etc, but I decided to use it to make a creamy curry. This healthy curry is quick to make (under 40 minutes) and great for busy weeknights when you don't have much time to cook! Its packed with lots of vegetables, and is mild too, making it the perfect recipe for introducing small children to spices. I used frozen mixed vegetables (carrot, cauliflower, broccoli) as this cuts the cooking time down, and added some that needed to be used up from the fridge too( pepper, leek,spinach) but you can use any vegetables you prefer. I also used the Ninja Foodi on Sear/Saute but this can easily be done in a pan on the stove too. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below.

00Pan-Seared Lamb Steaks.A leg of Lamb can be pricey, so unless it's a special occasion, I tend to buy boneless steaks instead. These are easier to cook, and make a speedy midweek meal, or with the addition of extra vegetables etc they can be turned into a Sunday dinner. I've kept it simple by pan frying, then serving with redcurrent gravy, a baked potato and some garlic buttered spinach and garden peas 😋 As always you can substitute these by adding your own sides and any sauce you prefer.

00Slow Cooked Wholemeal loafI usually use a packet mix when bakng wholemeal bread but thought I'd give it a try using some of the tips I've learned from our lovely fb followers. A Slow Cooker is not the first thing that springs to mind when you are going to bake bread, but I seem to have more success when using my SC as opposed to the oven, and find it's a softer bake too.

00Sweet Onion RelishDo you have a glut of onions? Struggling for ideas to use them up? Relish is the answer! It's inexpensive and simple to make, very easy to adapt and so versatile too. It's a great accompaniment to any cheese board or picnic, but don't just stop there. Add it onto your burgers or hot dogs, add to stews, casseroles or mince dishes to give a little extra boost of flavour. It also makes a great edible gift at Christmas time. I've used the Ninja foodi on the Sauté/Sear setting for this recipe but you can do this in a pot on the hob or in the Slow cooker too.

00Tomato SalsaHomemade Salsa is so easy to make... Pico de gallo is a popular form of uncooked salsa made from lime juice and coarsely chopped raw ingredients including tomatoes, onions, and coriander leaves. It's very versatile and can be as simple or as full flavoured as you wish. It can be used as a side dish to pep up a salad, a topping on nachos, or served alongside a humble toasty or baked potato. My favourite way to serve it is on a bed of spinach,garnished with some cashews. It makes a simple Hassleback potato dish very filling.

00Strawberry TartsWho doesn't love a Strawberry Tart? They are a quintessential part of summer. Fresh strawberries, a sweet glaze, fresh crème patissèrie, all encased in a crisp shortcrust pastry case. I've used May Berry's recipe but tweaked it a little by using shop bought pastry as I had it in, but you could bake your own if you wish.

00Air fryer Roast Cauliflower SaladThis spicy cauliflower with smashed avocado recipe can make the perfect main course, lunchtime salad, or Indian side dish, as part of a curry night feast. I softened the cauliflower in the microwave beforehand to save a little time, then tossed it in the spice mix before adding to the Ninja Foodi / air fryer and cooking until golden and tender. It's a deliciously simple vegetable dish that’s not only healthy, but versatile too as you can swap out the spices or the salad to whatever suits you and your families tastes. I used garam masala as its a great spice blend but you could swap it for individual spices, such as ground cumin, coriander etc. I also used a mix of red and yellow pepper as thats what I had available but you could use any colour you prefer.

00Slow Cooked Smoked Haddock KedgereeKedgeree is a favourite in my house and I try to have it once a week, as it's packed with yummy curry flavors. Sometimes I swap the fish about, depending on what's available or on offer on any given week. For this recipe I'm using smoked Haddock...the proper white smoked fish (the yellow stuff is only coloured to make it look more appealing)..... naturally smoked is fine too. You could also use River Cobbler, Mackerel or any fish you and your family prefer. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
00Fruity Couscous.Couscous – sometimes called kusksi or kseksu – is a traditional North African dish of small steamed granules of rolled semolina that is often served with a stew spooned on top. It's naturally low in fat, can be a good source of fiber (the whole wheat version), and provides some protein, B vitamins, and minerals. Used instead of rice or pasta it can be served plain or with a little spice mix, fruit, chopped nuts etc. This makes it a tasty addition to salads.
