Master the basics

Eating clean gets a lot easier once you have mastered a few essential recipes. This recipe is basic; not like basic unicorn basic, more like beard and flannel basic. Back to the point (which isn’t Unstable unicorns), having basic skills and recipes in your arsenal means you will never be left with only Uber Eats as your weeknight option. Once you master this recipe, the possibilities are endless.

New take on a classic

Bolognese is one of those dishes that everyone knows and probably has their version of it. While traditionally, Bolognese is used for dressing pasta, this meaty sauce is a perfect centrepiece to a meal instead of dressing.

This dish is full of flavour and tastes better the day after you make it.

Bolognese is an easy recipe to make; it is cheap and makes the perfect weeknight dinner.

Bolognese recipe

Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 2 onions, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp. tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • a handful of basil, plus extra for garnish.
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano.

Instructions

Put a large stock pot over medium heat.

Add the olive oil to the pan. 

When the oil is hot, add the onions and stir them.

Reduce the heat when the onions start to colour.

Add the garlic, basil and oregano.

Add the beef mince to the pan with the onions.

Cook the meat off until it is browned.

Use a spoon to break the meat up as it cooks.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and puree into the meat.

Turn up the heat to bring the liquids up to a boil.

When you have rolling bubbles reduce the heat and keep stirring everything.

When you get to a gentle simmer, put the lid on your pan and let everything cook down for a least an hour.

Stir the sauce now and then to make sure it doesn’t stick or catch on the bottom.

Serve over some coodles with some grated parmesan cheese.

The flavour will develop and be better the day after you have made it, so it will be great for leftovers.

Always make friends with salad

In my book, salad is something to get excited about; it is an amazingly fresh meal full of endless possibilities, not limp lettuce, sad dressing and soggy tomatoes. I’m one of those strange people that could happily eat salad for every meal. Gone are the days when I couldn’t plan to have salad as a family meal; I still can’t get away with a salad at every meal, but I do get a lot more salad than I once did. 

This is my take on the classic Caesar salad, it is portioned for one person but can easily be increased to feed more people.

Chicken Caesar salad recipe

Ingredients

  • 200g chicken breast, cooked
  • 1 egg, hard-boiled
  • 2 pieces streaky bacon, cooked
  • 100g cos lettuce leaves, chopped into 4 pieces
  • Shaved parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp. Caesar salad dressing

Shepard’s Pie

Leave a comment

Freezer meal

Hands up if you are busy. Who is way too tired to get in the kitchen to cook at the end of the day? Definitely not me.

My days are filled with meetings, to-do lists, emails and telling people what to do. By the time I finish work, the last thing I want to do is get stuck into cooking a meal and then cleaning up afterwards. I want to work out and spend some time with Jaime. That is why freezer meals are my favourite solutions to the challenge of a busy life. A few hours on the weekend, and you find yourself with a stack of options for dinner that can be thawed and cooked for a healthy, delicious meal for the family.

Comfort food 

Apparently, being British and growing up with winter warmer meals all year round, you want to share those meals with your kids to make them feel warm and happy in the winter. It helps that my partner grew up with the same comfort foods and loves when I break out a classic. Shepard’s pie is one of our favourite comfort foods, while nowadays I don’t go in for potatoes, that didn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy something I love. To make the traditional recipe for Shepard’s pie a better fit for clean eating, I made a few changes but didn’t take away from the favours.

Shepard’s pie recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 500g pack lamb mince
  • 2 tbsp. tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 900g sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 85g butter
  • 3 tbsp. milk

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan

Add the onion and carrots and cook until they soften.

Turn up the heat on the pan.

Crumble in the lamb mince and brown off the meat.

If you have a lot of fat, pour off the excess.

Add the tomato purée and Worcestershire sauce, and then fry for a few minutes.

Pour over the stock and bring to a simmer.

Cover the pan and keep simmering for 20 minutes when the stock is simmering.

Remove the cover and simmer for another 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180 degrees C / 350 degrees F.

Set up a vegetable steamer.

In batches, steam the sweet potatoes chunks until they are tender.

Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Mash the sweet potatoes with milk and butter to make a smooth mash.

Put the mince into an ovenproof baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Top the mince with the mash and ruffle with a fork.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the top starts to colour and the mince is bubbling through at the edges.

Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Cottage Pie

A fresh spin on a classic

The traditional cottage pie was a way to use leftover roasted meat from the Sunday dinner and topping the pie with mashed potato to make the leftovers go a little further. Obviously, the person who first came up with the cottage pie didn’t have a hungry family like mine to feed; having leftover meat does not happen in my house often. My version of cottage pie comes with a big helping of beef mince to keep my hungry boys happy.

Lower carbs big flavour

I wanted to make a lower-carb version of the traditional cottage pie by swapping out the mashed potatoes for mashed cauliflower. The cauliflower mash is a great way to reduce carbs without trading off on flavour. 

Cottage pie recipe

Ingredients

  • 750g minced beef
  • 2 tsp. oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 1 celery stick, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 cups vegetables to serve

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/ 350 degrees F.

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Add the onion, carrot and celery to the pan, cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender.

Make sure to stir the vegetables often.

Add the mince to the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes or until mince is browned, stir regularly to break up the mince.

Reduce heat to medium-low, add the sauces, and season to taste.

Cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes.

Remove the mix from the heat and set to one side.

To make your mash topping, chop the cauliflower into chunks and place in a steamer*

Steam the cauliflower until it is tender, remove from the heat and allow it cool a little.

Use a food processor to blend down the cauliflower with the butter until you get a smooth consistency.

Spoon the meat mixture into a large baking dish and top with the cauliflower mash.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until piping hot and the mash is golden.

Brussels sprout carbonara

Leave a comment

The only reason I like winter 

I’m serious, Brussels sprouts are the only thing I like about winter. I hate the cold; I hate the rain and the wind and the shorter days, sprouts are the only highlight of the season for me. 

Brussels Sprouts are hands down my favourite vegetables; I would have them every day. Sadly, I can’t have them every day, so I just have to make the most of them when they are in season.

What could be better? 

I like Brussels Sprouts on their own, but if I can sneak them into a meal, I like it more. In my world the combination of Brussels Sprouts and carbonara sauce are perfect. The saltiness of the bacon with the creaminess of the sauce and caramelised Brussels Sprouts make a complete meal. If you don’t like Brussels Sprouts but are willing to give it another go, I would highly recommend you give this recipe a go.

Scotch Eggs

Leave a comment

It may surprise you to learn that Scotch eggs aren’t Scottish at all; they are actually English. The traditional Scotch egg is made with sausage meat, coated in breadcrumb and deep-fried until they are crisp on the outside. While I don’t have anything against a deep-fried meal, I was never a fan of the sausage meat that was probably mostly sawdust and the eggs with that horrible sulphur ring; no, thank you.

A new take

I decided to try something a bit different and develop a clean eating take on the traditional recipe. As ever when coming up with clean eating, there are challenges to developing a recipe that tastes great and isn’t awful for you.

Challenges to overcome

The first challenge was getting the perfect boiled egg; the trick is cooking the eggs enough to cook the egg white without overcooking the yolk. For Scotch eggs, go for a slightly runny yolk; this will give you a perfect yolk when the egg is baked. The next challenge is getting the meat to pack a flavour punch. I love having access to good quality pork; thankfully, it isn’t hard to get free-range pork here in Auckland. I find that free-range pork has far more flavour than high intensity farmed meat; it is always best for taste. The right blend of garlic, sage and Worcestershire sauce gives the meat a real step up in flavour. Finally, getting a nice crispy coating that isn’t deep-fried, I find that coconut flour and egg coating is a great alternative to breadcrumbs, and you don’t have to deep-fry it to make it crispy. 

Instant pot

I recently purchased an Instant Pot duo crisp which is a slow cooker, pressure cooker and air fryer, plus more all in one. The last time I made up some Scotch eggs, I decided to bake them in the Instant Pot rather than putting them in the oven. I love the versatility of the Instant Pot, and it is quickly becoming my favourite kitchen appliance.
