As you will have no doubt seen by my Instagram, curry Sunday has become a regular thing in our household. Always keen to come up with new and interesting things to serve on a Sunday, this week I decided to give making my own Tandoori Marinade a go. It is exceptionally easy and I have to say, the results were fantastic. Whilst not strictly a curry, the delicious Indian flavours which burst from this dish definitely make it Sunday worthy.
I really fancied a different risotto this week and this one really hit the spot. It’s a lovely big bowl of goodness and really filling too. Sometimes risotto can be a bit time consuming to prepare but as you don’t have to actually cook any meat, this recipe is speedy and fuss free!
Fishcakes are something I love to have as a starter in a restaurant and are the perfect light lunch or dinner. Having not had them in a loooong time, tonight, with little else in the cupboards, I thought it was time to whip some together.
My OH isn’t this biggest fan of fish (not that you would know the amount I make him eat it!) but we have recently discovered that he has a particular liking for seabass (after the revelation that was my Minted Pea and Seabass Risotto). As a result I thought that, to keep him interested, I would come up with another seabass dish to take his fancy.
Usually come six o’clock I am starving and looking forward to having a hearty meal for my tea but last night, both the Hubbie and I fancied something light and summery. Having a think about what we could have we both though a salad would do the trick but I wanted something filling enough so I wouldn’t be hungry later on!
As you can probably tell by a lot of my recent recipes, vegetable noodles are a firm favourite in our house at the moment. Most supermarkets now sell the pre spiralised version and not only do they make a lovely quick and easy option for tea, but they are mostly 0 smart points.
Risotto is a dish that I don’t often have time to make but always feels like a real luxury dish to devour. This week, having had a craving for risotto, I decided to pair it with another one of my favourite ingredients, seabass. Having never had the two together I wanted to find an ingredient to unite them and what better than some minted pea puree! And the result was this fabulous dish.
Fish is a great option for an evening meal as not only is it packed with flavour and goodness, but it is so low in points – especially now fish is 0sp! After craving something fishy for tea last week, I put together this recipe using a lot of ingredients that I already had in my fridge and the result was delicious. Both light and summery yet filling and satisfying. Best of all, the whole dish can be ready inside 20 minutes!
This quick dish is perfect for a weekend lunch or a light evening meal. It’s fuss free and uncomplicated but the flavours are truly satisfying. I’ve used mini soft taco’s in the recipe below as they are only 3sp and filling enough for me however if you feel you need a bigger wrap, go with a normal sized tortilla for only 1sp extra.
Keen to keep up with my intake of fish , this week I decided to put together another tuna recipe. I love teriyaki sauce and thought this would be a lovely pairing so I set about putting together a dish which combined both. The result was delicious. My OH cleared his plate in less than five minutes. Tuna has such a lovely meaty texture and it works so well with the Asian stir fried veggies, the whole dish turned out to be very tasty indeed!
