This one tray wonder is just what you need after a busy days work. Something you can bring to the table in under an hour, with minimal effort and that packs a punch, I’m all about! Harissa is a North African spice paste which can be found in most supermarkets now.

Harissa Baked Eggs

January 12

Whether for brunch, lunch or dinner, these baked eggs are a speedy way to provide booming flavour and a dose of healthy comfort food. A basic tomato sauce is the hallmark of any good home cook and here it is put to good use to coddle eggs until their yolks are runny and unctuous. With an injection of dark heat from the harissa paste, for me this is all too often the answer to the question: ‘What’s for dinner?’

BBQ Jerk Chicken with Mango Salsa

June 20

The wonderful things about marinating meat is that you can prepare them so far in adavance. Pop the meat in the marinate in a releasable bag in the fridge overnight and the flavours will intensify. Marinated meat can also be frozen. This jerk chicken marinade is quite quirky and has lots of interesting flavours like lime juice, cinnamon, honey and ginger. It sounds like an odd combination but makes for many layers of flavours and served straight from the BBQ with this mango salsa, it’s total sunshine food.

Morrocan Spiced Sausage Meatballs with Harissa Cous Cous

September 22

There are few recipes that can boast being made almost entirely of store cupboard ingredients but this one comes close. Bar a few mint leaves, some yoghurt and sausage meat, the rest of the required items can happily lie in wait for their moment to shine. If you choose not to use sausage meat here, a combination of pork and beef mince, or lamb will be worthy fit.
