This organic slow cooker veg and lentil curry is seriously quick and easy to prepare. I used whatever veg I had left over - it all works! I'm loving my slow cooker at the moment as I usually have 10 minutes in the morning to pop everything in, and then leave it to cook for a minimum of 8 hours so I can eat it whenever I'm home from work, which can often be quite late.
These organic potato waffle style cakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch. The amazing thing about them is that you can freeze them once cooked, and pop in the toaster to reheat while you poach your eggs; this creates a super fast meal. You might need two cycles with the toaster depending on how crispy you want them.
Happy Organic September!!! I apologise for the lack of recipe last week, we drove to Heathrow to take my Dad to the Airport and also fitted in a Thorpe Park visit! This organic baked plait can be made with organic beef mince (we love Daylesford or Ocado own brand) or organic vegan soya mince such as Clearspring. I made this for my Dad as he loves his pastry when he visits the UK from the Caribbean.
This sweet and sour veg recipe is a fast version with a few easy tweaks built in. You can use most veg (with the exception of veg like potatoes) and create a whole Pride in Hull rainbow of colours with your dish. I like to serve it on its own or with plain steamed rice. The most time you will take is chopping the veg up! If you own a wok, you can also get wokking with this one.
This organic leek and potato soup is a real seasonal winner. The leeks are something special (it wouldn't be the same using onion), and the addition of the butter gives it a creamy texture without the cream. These M&S Organic leeks from Ocado are delicious and don't need a lot of washing. I add turmeric for colour, health and flavour.
This soup is a regular favourite in our house. It looks amazing and is packed with nutrition. Roasting the squash first means that you don't have to peel it, and it also adds something amazing to the flavour. If you don't have a sweet potato, you can use carrot or a white potato. I sometimes roast the sweet potato the night before to save time the next day if I'm making this on a Monday morning before sessions.
This organic roasted cream of tomato soup is a perfect antidote to the rain I see outside today as I create this recipe. I saw some lovely plump organic vine tomatoes in Tesco and thought they would work perfectly with my basil plant in addition to some left over Yeo Valley cream, and a little tin of Tarantella tomato puree. The result was delicious!
It’s Shrove Tuesday, and I couldn’t resist creating a pancake recipe that I know I will love. I’ve always been a fan of lemon curd, and would prefer lemon curd tarts to the strawberry jam ones when I was a child. Lemon curd is surprisingly easy to make, too, plus this is organic…. So I thought I’d blend fresh lemon curd with an oven baked slightly lemony pancake, and see what the result was! I also wanted to re-heat these later on, and chill the curd, so this was a perfect get-ahead recipe that I made in-between sessions.
