Here’s a twist on your standard meatballs… no frying involved, super healthy being high in protein using low fat turkey mince from @morrisons and minimal fuss, these flavour bursting meatballs are baked until golden and come together so quick.

TUNA TARTAR WITH WONTON CRISPS - Can every Tuesday be tuna tartare day please???

There’s something about the crunch of these wonton chips with fresh tuna in that creamy, spicy, sesame sauce that is just soooo addictive!!!

Roasted Butternut & Prosciutto Salad - I made this salad a few weeks ago for my family who were visiting and served it with a curry leaf butter roast chicken… they all LOVED it… surprisingly even the ones that don’t really like butternut squash enjoyed it!

I fancied “sukiyaki”… Japanese saucy sweet noods typically served with beef, tofu and veg… BUT I had no beef and very little time to make dinner so came up with this veggie version which….whoop whoop…. cravings satisfied and was DEEEELISH!

The base is a rich tomato broth simmered with nutty chickpeas and bites of spicy chorizo sausage,the calamari adds a gorgeous tender texture and each bite is just bursting with flavour. A family style one pot wonder! Pass the crusty bread and dig in!!

It doesn’t get simpler than this for such a flavour packed incredible meal... just so healthy, minimal prep and dinner ready in minutes. The sea bass fillets are steamed for 10 minutes with julienned ginger and spring onions, then hot sizzling oil is poured on top

Garlicky halloumi cooked to perfection with a golden crispy crust on the outside and a gooey centre that melts in your mouth… along with a generous dollop of creamy guac that balances out the richness of the halloumi.

Nutty brown rice and lentils with the sweetness of roasted squash and the richness of smoked cheese… such wonderful textures and depth of flavours!

Healthy and filling… a perfect veggie main or side dish… hope you give it a go peeps 😍

Charred pieces of meaty chipotle lime marinated monkfish… paired with a spicy guac, sweet mango salsa and crispy corn kernels all wrapped up a hot corn taco…. COME TO MAMA!! This combo was off the charts yum!!

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

Need a healthier crisp alternative?? I think we all do!! These little baked bites of deliciousness are sooooo more-ish.. the perfect nibble to have with a chilled glass of vino.. crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside then dipped into a spicy tomato sauce.

A fridge raid salad at its best! Yes peeps… such an easy one to make… my veggies are always roasted to perfection in the air fryer, then whip up the dressing with some mashed roasted garlic… give it all a toss, crumble on the feta and voila… pure deliciousness!!

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

I do love a duck salad. Do you cook duck at home? Peeps… if you can cook chicken, then you can cook duck too. Don’t be freaked out, my easy step-by-step method of cooking the duck always works and you won’t need any fancy restaurants to get your crispy duck salad fix!

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

They are surprisingly easy to cook when you roast them, I used my garlicky curry leaf butter and finished them with a curry leaf parmesan crumb… gotto say I was soooo pleased with how they turned out!

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

The yummiest and most gorgeous spread, kindly gifted to me from the lovely folks @Ottolenghi.

It was such a pleasure not having to cook in this heat… we thoroughly enjoyed each mouthful and were literally licking the plates clean.

Flip over the crunchy golden pastry revealing that oozy, spicy, Bombay sandwich filling inside, lashings of spicy green chutney, red onions, tomatoes, potatoes and cheese… damn these were good!!

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

So easy… so satisfying and get that extra veg from the courgettes too… the perfect al fresco make your own toasties!

Love Burrata?? Ever tried Smoked burrata? (I got mine from @natoora) Still creamy and oozy but with a depth of woody smokiness…

[Zar's Kitchen @zarskitchen]

This stuff disappears in our house because whenever I make a batch my friends take half of it!! Finally sharing this legendary recipe with you guys…

Quality pork sausage with golden buttered roasties slathered with the most flavour bursting curry leaf garlic butter… fennel and shallot wedges along with some long sweet pointy peppers… so easy and delicious and all in one tray ready in only 40 mins too!

These tinned sardines from Portugal were not fishy at all… they were soft, rich and salty so pairing them with sweet juicy tomatoes and fresh zingy ingredients complimented them beautifully. This entire dish takes 20 minutes to make!
