The Coronation Quiche
2023-05-07 09:19
The Coronation Quiche recipe was created for the coronation of King Charles
It's a light quiche with flavours of Spinach, broad beans and tarragon.
This recipe amends the original to make it a little more convenient to make, using ingredients that are more readibly available.
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes

There really isn't much that beats a good baked potato, especially if it's covered in cheese and coleslaw.
Given that air-fryers are more energy efficient than ovens, with current energy prices there's a strong argument for baking spuds in an air-fryer instead. They come out just as crispy and are finished a little sooner

Known as dolphin potatoes in our house, these are rich, creamy and filling.
Halloumi Korma

We've been trying to reduce our meat consumption a bit, and Halloumi's a good way to do that, rather than a 3 quid tub of chicken you need a 1 quid block of cheese
This makes a quick and lazy halloumi and veg korma - the Co-op does a good stir in sauce
Halloumi and Veg Bake

A nice simple mediterranean style dish. Quick, cheap and easy to prepare, if you really need veg then lardons can be mixed in with the veg before cooking
Goes well when served with bread and oil as a side.
Oven Baked Egg and Wedges

A simple tasty one-pan meal. Croutons or bacon strips can be added if meat is wanted, but as a meal it works fine without.
Cheats Pizza Calzone

A italian style vegetable mix, with the added flavour of a toasted wrap and cheese. Really low-effort to make, but tastes good.
Originally based on a NHS healthy eating recipe, I've added some of the flavour/fat back in (sorry).
Can be made without the lardons if meat isn't your thing. If meat is your thing, then lardons can also be swapped for slices of (pre-cooked) chicken, sausage etc.
Baked Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, baked spuds are a bit of a staple food. You can top them with pretty much anything you want and get a wide variety of different meals - slathered in cheese with beans running down, or topped with a bit of coleslaw
Korean Cucumber Salad (Oi Muchim)
2020-07-06 11:41
A Korean cucumber salad, essentially cucumber and carrot in a lightly spiced vinaigrrete.
The spring onion can be replaced with chopped spinach to reduce the punch a little. Either way, works very well served alongside Beef Bulgogi
McDonalds Hash Brown
2020-04-06 09:51
McDonalds closed all of it's restaurants as part of the Coronavirus response. However, they've shared a recipe card with The Mirror so that we can make their Sausage and Egg McMuffin at home - as an added "bonus" they included instructions to make a hash brown to go on the side.
Depending on the size of your potato, this will make several
