5 Healthy 5-Ingredient Dinners: Week 10

NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes. Choose just one to experiment with each week.

MONDAY

Zucchini Falafels

It was the memory of some perfect falafels which inspired this recipe. I wanted something less carby and fresher. And baked not fried because lets face it, large pots of hot oil are scary.

My first attempts using almond meal were good but not quite right – lacking the nubbliness of a good falafel.

And then I had the stroke of genius to use seeds. Partially pulverized in the food processor they are a total winner. Luckily we don’t need to travel to the other side of the world to enjoy them.

TUESDAY

Golden Chicken Pie

Doesn’t a Golden Chicken Pie just sound so heavenly? One of those meals that will become an instant favourite regardless of whether it’s for a Wintery supper by the fire or a Spring time picnic down by the dam.

WEDNESDAY

Goats Cheese & Basil Omelette

It’s hard to go past an omelette when you feel like a super quick, healthy meal. The possibilities are endless when it comes to additions and flavours but this goats cheese and basil combo is one of my all time favourites.

THURSDAY

Wonderful Cabbage Wedges

Cabbage has to be one of the most underrated vegetables. It’s just so versatile going from fresh and crunchy in salads to soft and melting when cooked. Not to mention that it keeps for weeks, if not months in the fridge. I always have a cabbage on hand.

Literally always.

So when I enjoyed cabbage wedges for lunch at one of my favourite restaurants I couldn’t wait to get home and try my own version.

FRIDAY

Simple Salmon with Pistachio Salsa & Ginger Cream

If you love ginger like I do, you have to make this ASAP!

The ginger sour cream is so so delicious and makes the most refreshing sauce for simple roast salmon.

Plus there’s the beautiful crunch of pistachios.

And the fragrance of basil.

Like I said you have to make this one!

SWEET TREAT

Easy Little Chocolate Puddings

I love these for so many reasons. First they’re not going to spike your blood sugar. But more importantly they only take a few minutes to stir up AND use ingredients you probably have in your pantry – perfect for those nights when you haven’t planned anything for dessert but then feel like something warm and chocolatey. I like them with lashings of double cream but if you’re OK with a sugar hit, ice cream is also good.
