Grilled Peach Salad with Candied Pecans and Pearl Barley
Fruit in a salad always feels like a slightly odd concept, but we promise you, the peaches in this dish work beautifully! Peaches originate in China, where they are one of the most ancient domesticated fruits, with nearly 4000 years of cultivation! This dish is brimming with flavour and vitamins - a light dish to see you through the warmer evenings!
Healthier General Tso's Chicken with Rice
General Tso's is traditionally quite high in fat and salt. This makeover is loaded with taste and texture but much healthier. It’s all in the garnish with this dish. The lime, coriander, and crispy onions take this dish from good, to seriously great.
Wholegrain Mustard Chicken & Penne Pasta
Combining wholegrain mustard with cream cheese is such a great way to get a quick, tasty and tangy sauce. You can actually use this combination on other meats like fish or pork, and even as a salad dressing. In this dish, the sauce is served with shallot and thyme chicken giving a rich and deep flavour which goes perfectly with the mustard pasta.
Hearty Moroccan Soup with Lentils and Chickpeas
This recipe was inspired by the Moroccan dish, Harira - a hearty soup made with dried legumes like lentils and chickpeas. It's a staple in breaking Ramadan! This soup is loaded with plant-based protein, fibre, and vitamins making it a satisfying light option for dinner. This recipe makes a big portion - so you may get lunch out of it too!
