Simply Food By Mandy

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As you know I am a huge aubergine fan and I use it in so many recipes. Aubergine takes on flavour brilliantly and It’s a fantastic food for vegetarians as it’s hearty and for filling. Paired with this delicious Chavroux goats cheese and the tomato and basil, it’s an absolute winning combination. Ready in less than 15 minutes it’s definitely worth a try. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Serves 2 as a starter or light lunch ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 aubergine - sliced into

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I cannot tell you how many people have tried my Thai Chicken Traybake. It’s been my most popular recipe to date, which is fantastic! Here is a similar recipe using Salmon, but any white firm fish such as Pollock, Cod or Haddock would work well. As it’s spring and because of my love of delicious veg, I’ve added the tasty leeks from @blas_y_tir and some English asparagus. Serve with jasmine rice or noodles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Serves 4 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4 Salmon

I have used the beautiful leeks from @blas_y_tir which gave the risotto a wonderful sweetness and ensured it was full of flavour.

Ready in under an hour and with just one pan to wash up, what’s not to like? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Serves 4 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS 8 lamb Chops 3 peppers - cut int

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about trying a comforting one-pot meal this Sunday leaving you to relax and enjoy the day. I’ve used a gorgeous Savoy cabbage from @blas_y_tir in the final stages of cooking. Not only does this make very little washing up, it creates a gorgeous flavour and delivers a beautifully succulent chicken. Happy Sunday 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ INGREDIENTS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 medium chicken 1 tin cannellini beans - drained 3/4 of a Savoy cabbage - shredded @blas_y_tir 145g pancetta - diced 2

Now if I were to become a vegan then this is what I’d eat. A bowl full of deliciousness with gorgeous textures and flavours. I used cauliflower and cabbage from @blas_y_tir which were of course delicious. Individually each vegetable was lovely so you could make them as a side dish to a main meal. Serves 2 INGREDIENTS 1 aubergine - halved lengthways 1/2 Savoy cabbage - cut into 5-6 wedges trying to keep the root intact 1/2 cauliflower - cut into florets 1 avocado - halves and

If you haven’t tried roasting cauliflower, then you absolutely must. Cauliflower takes on spicy flavour well and when roasted it has a lovely nuttiness about it. My cauliflower was from @blasytir who produce delicious welsh vegetables and what’s fantastic about their company is that it 100% owned my the farmers!
