Ingredients:

  • 3 tsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 red pepper , deseeded and cut into thick strips
  • 2 skinless chicken breast fillets , each cut into about six strips
  • 2 garlic cloves , both peeled, one finely grated, one left whole
  • 14 tsp dried oregano , plus a pinch
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 avocado , halved and stoned, one half scooped out and sliced

  • 15g coriander , chopped
  • 50g baby spinach

Directions:

  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick pan over a low heat, add the peppers then cover and cook for 10 mins until softened. Shake the pan a couple of times to move them about, but try not to lift the lid. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, mix the chicken in a bowl with the remaining 1 tsp oil, grated garlic, ¼ tsp oregano, paprika and ½ tsp coriander. Toss the onion with 1 tbsp lime juice in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • To make the dressing, scoop the unsliced halved avocado into a bowl with the whole garlic clove, pinch of oregano, 2 tbsp lime juice and 3 tbsp water and blitz with a hand blender until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.
  • Return the pan of peppers to the heat and add the chicken, cover and cook for 5 mins until tender and cooked through. Tip the beans, quick-pickled onions and chopped coriander into the pan and mix well.
  • Pile the spinach onto two plates and top with the chicken mixture. Spoon on the avocado dressing and top with the avocado slices. Serve while still warm.

Summer sausage stew with couscous

Summer sausage stew with couscous

Make this sausage and giant couscous stew part of your midweek repertoire this summer – it’s easy to make, and provides three of your five-a-day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 Morrisons Market Street thick pork sausages
  • 1 red onion , finely sliced
  • 2 courgettes , sliced into discs
  • 2 red peppers , sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves , sliced
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 420g cherry tomatoes
  • 430g jar Italian passata with peppers
  • 600ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 300g giant couscous
  • handful of parsley , chopped

Directions:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat and fry the Morrisons sausages for 5 mins, turning regularly until golden all over. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 mins until soft. Stir in the courgette, pepper, garlic, fennel and oregano. Season and fry for another 5 mins until fragrant, stirring often. Add the tomatoes, passata and stock, and return the sausages to the pan. Season well, cover and simmer for 15 mins until the sausages are cooked through.
  • Remove the lid and sprinkle over the couscous – the stew should be quite liquid, as the couscous will absorb much of it. Stir well, reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook for 15-20 mins for the couscous to plump up and soften. Serve sprinkled with the chopped parsley.

Slow cooker coconut chicken curry

Slow cooker coconut chicken curry

Get your slow cooker to do the hard work for this Indian-style curry. We’ve added chicken and sweet potato, then served with naans and rice

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil (optional)
  • 1 red onion , finely chopped or sliced
  • 8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs , chopped into chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves , crushed or finely grated
  • thumb-sized piece of ginger , finely grated
  • 6 tbsp curry paste
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 500g sweet potato or butternut squash, roughly chopped
  • handful of fresh coriander , roughly chopped, to serve
  • 1 red chilli , sliced, to serve (optional)

Directions:

  • For a deeper flavour, if you have time, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until softened. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes until seared all over (but not cooked through), then add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min.
  • Tip into your slow cooker along with the coconut milk, tomatoes and sweet potato or butternut squash. Alternatively, put everything but the oil, coriander and chilli in your slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on high for 5 hrs or low for 8 hrs, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the lid for the final 1 hr to thicken the sauce. Serve over rice or with naan bread with a scattering of coriander and red chilli, if you like.
