Turkey is such an underutilised choice of protein outside the Christmas period, which may explain why it's so affordable.
This dish was created as part of a “nutritious cheap eats” series that I ran on Instagram and came to just over £5 in total at the time of purchase.
It’s a filling dinner recipe with layers of veggies and a variety of herbs keeping the nutrient content high whilst contributing tonnes of flavour.
Whole baked celeriac, warm couscous salad
Just in case you are wondering how good a baked celeriac can be, it’s very, very good.
It’s soft, herb-infused centre and slightly firmer outer layer works well as a crowning feature of almost any meal. Here we teamed it with a warm couscous salad full of sweet pomegranate, heaps of parsley and a mild orange dressing. It’s a winning match for wedges of juicy baked celeriac.
Salmon, curried cauli mash, spinach & cucumber relish
Creamy cauliflower mash, a pan-fried Scottish salmon fillet, crunchy cucumber relish and nourishing spinach.
A low carb dinner that both satisfying and tasty.
Fridge Hash (a stolen recipe)
This recipe is a frugal but delicious combination of whatever veg you have hanging around in the fridge, chopped up small, cooked with some herbs, flavoured with a stock cube and butter and topped with poached eggs.
It saves any veggies going to waste, even if they are past their best and is mega cheap to make.
Warm puy lentil salad, baked feta
I’m fond of recipes that need little attention and this is definitely one of those.
Just roast a few veggies, mix it with a pack of pre-cooked puy lentils (or cook your own for extra earth-saving kudos points), dress and top with baked feta.
