Microwave sweet potatoes topped with hummus, garlicky kale, feta, and mixed seeds.

Rendang is a real treat and tastes even better the next day. It does take effort so why not double the recipe and pop some into the freezer. My fresh coriander chutney really brings it alive!

Mexican bean soup is a bowl of happiness. Topped with avocado, coriander and a squeeze of lime it comes to life before your eyes.

A slightly unusual take on the term “batch cook” this week. Usually we think of batch cooks as braised, slow cooked meals. However this one require you to do nothing more than stick a shoulder of lamb or pork into the oven and forgetting about it for 6 hours as you work from home. If you don’t have six hours, it is equally delicious with a steak or pork fillet medallions charred on a frying pan and until crusty on the outside and still juicy in the middle. The soft tender (slightly fatty) meat drizzles with this pungent Argentinian sauce is the batch cook dinner of your dreams. Pair it simply with a baked potato (McCains are always in my freezer) or a pack of microwave baby potatoes and a handful of green leaves and sweet tomatoes. Divine!
