Korean ground beef & rice bowl

This ground beef recipe has become a favourite in my house. The Korean flavours are so good without being spicy at all, unless you also make the sauce! you can absolutely batch cook this or at least make an extra portion or two for the next day. The rest of the bowl can be changed with the season and whatever you feel like or need. A fried egg on top is a favourite extra for me.

Sesame tuna steak with wild rice and edamame

Another fish recipe here as it is so quick and easy for a summer evening meal.
Coming in at 29g protein per 100g, your portion size will depend on who you are cooking for and what your requirements are for protein that day..
This can be served with a summer colourful salad, as part of a nourish bowl or with steamed veggies. When in season, it’s perfect with asparagus.
Make an extra portion or 2 and serve in a poke bowl the next day!

Zaatar grilled salmon with tzatziki

This is a really light spring/summer meal, perfect for lunch or dinner.
With a 200g salmon portion per person and the chickpeas, you will achieve 40-45g protein per portion.
I often opt for beans, lentils or chickpeas as a side as I love them and they offer a great mixed nutritional profile of complex carbs, fibre and some protein.

Grilled cod with lentils, spinach and olives

This is a really nice light dish on the table in just 25mins! Protein, good fibre and super tasty. I used the Merchant Gourmet lentil pouch for eased speed. Other white fish such as haddock or hake or halibut would work well too.
When in season, I like to serve with grilled asparagus on the side.

With a 200g cod portion per son and the lentils, you will achieve 40-45g protein per portion.

Hot honey & lime chicken bowl

This chicken recipe is fabulous for so many reasons; the chicken and marinade quick and easy to make and you make as much of this as you like for dinner and cook extra for a couple of lunches. It can be eaten hot with fluffy rice, sweetcorn, a little mango avocado salsa or cold with green leaves and colourful chopped veggies or crudités. My son also pointed out he would serve it in a wrap with guacamole, salad, tomatoes and red onions! You’ve got to try it!
