5 Healthy 5-Ingredient Dinners: Week 11

TUESDAY

Lemony Miso Salmon

I am completely addicted to this lemon and miso dressing at the moment. So much so that I’ve been making it by the bottle and keeping in the pantry ready to add a zesty freshness to salads, vegetables, fish – whatever I’m cooking really. It’s soo soo good!

WEDNESDAY

Persian ‘Flavour Explosion’ Eggs

OMG so be prepared for a treat! These sweet and salty ‘Persian’ scrambled eggs truly live up to their name. Talk about a flavour bomb.

I wish I could take credit for the brilliant idea to combine dates, feta and eggs but it was the lovely Diana Henry in her gorgeous book ‘Simple’ who is the brains behind this genius.

THURSDAY

Vietnamese Beef Salad

This is one of my go-to dinners when I’m looking for something fast and fresh. I just love the combo of lime juice and fish sauce for bringing boring old steak to life.

I’ve just used salad leaves here but feel free to add in fresh herbs, especially mint and coriander (cilantro).

FRIDAY

Everyone Happy Cashew Masala

As much as I love coconut milk based curries, sometimes you just want something different.

For those days it’s hard to go past this mild and creamy cashew-based pot of goodness.

I’ve called it ‘everyone happy’ because it’s a really easy recipe to adapt to different dietary requirements. Use all chicken for the omnivores, all chickpeas for the vegetarians. Or serve with steamed or ?fried rice? for the carb lovers.

SWEET TREAT

The World’s EASIEST Berry Sorbet

I tend to keep a packet of frozen berries in the freezer for when I need a quick dessert. This berry sorbet is wonderfully simple – just whizz the berries with a little sugar in the food processor and there you have it – instant sorbet.
