Red Lentil Dal

This super tasty, easy, quick and nourishing dish is a great antidote to the cold dark months ahead. Ingredients at hand, this can be prepared, cooked and served within an hour. We are gently introducing more pungent spices into Little Boy Green’s meals. He very much enjoyed the Chana Dal so we are crossing our fingers that this also gets his little thumbs up.

Creamed Spinach with Wholewheat Spaghetti

creamed spinach is delicious. To top it off, it is the simplest dish that anyone with the ability to turn on a stove could dream of, especially if using frozen spinach. To add to the appeal we cook the spinach from frozen. The creamed spinach will take as long as most pastas to cook, so a dish that can be served in less than 20 min.

Courgette (zucchini) and Potato Fritters

OK, for clarity, this recipe is not exactly for fritters, they are not fried and in fact do not contain any oil, at all. I wanted to call them patties, Mrs Green said patties sounded anodyne and chilled, so fritters they are. If you don't know they are not actually fried, it would be pretty difficult to tell as they are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
