So there really is nothing authentic about this dish, but it's Asian influences are there front and centre. Bursting with punchy flavours, low in carbs, high in protein, and a really different take on steak night. We've made our own teriyaki sauce, which can be used as a flavouring in other dishes and certainly reused as a marinade a few times, although there's really nothing wrong with using a shop bought version if time or inclination dictate. And of course you can use any cut of steak, although a thick cut sirloin seems to work really. To keep the fat content even lower, you can trim the steak, but do so after cooking to keep the full flavour. Teriyaki Steak with Fennel…

Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish of sauteed beef in a cream sauce with mustard. Here in the UK this tends to be a very rich cream sauce, although traditionally the dish was always prepared with sour cream. This version stays true to that, but swaps in half fat creme fraiche as a great way to keep the fat and calories down. Served with brown rice it's high in protein and high in fibre, as well as tasting absolutely delicious. I'm certain you're going to love it. Healthy Beef Stroganoff Classic steak and mushrooms in a creamy sauce, but with a healthy twist 1 tbsp olive oil1 large onion (peeled and sliced)1 large clove garlic (crushed, peeled and finely chopped)10 g…

Inspired by the classic Mexican soup, this dish is a double whammy. Not only is it a good way to use of leftover chicken (although we often poach a chicken specifically to use in dishes like this), it's such a healthy dinner and so full of flavour. The black beans create a fantastic background note, as well as naturally thickening the soup, and the spices and lemon give it a great tang. Use a low sodium stock cube if using leftovers and this dish. Chicken, Black Bean and Kale Soup Delicious way to use up leftover chicken that's got just the right level of spice 2 tbsp olive oil4 cloves garlic (crushed and peeled)5 spring onions (roughly chopped)1 bunch coriander (stalks chopped,…

Chicken Tikka Masala is a classic Indian dish of marinated chicken in a spiced tomato curry. Except of course it's not that simple, as it roots are as much here in the UK as they are in India. And whilst there's no doubting that it's a classic, you're unlikely to ever see quite the same recipe twice. Still, we completely understand why it was voted the nations second most favourite meal just a short few years ago, we love it. As with all the dishes in our January series, this version has been tweaked to be the healthiest it can be. Whole chicken, skin removed, is marinated in the classic yoghurt spice blend. The chicken is then slowly baked without oil to…

The dish that we know of as Spaghetti Bolognese is as British as it is Italian, bearing little resemblance to the Ragu Alla Bolognese that is usually served with tagliatelle or used to prepare lasagna. But that by no means detracts from it's significance as culinary icon. Simple and quick to prepare, using cheap and readily available ingredients, it's a long time favourite here in the UK, whether at home or eating out. In this version a few simple adds and swaps turn it into a super healthy supper. Totalling just 450 calories a serving, it also provides nearly 60% of your daily protein requirements and a quarter of your fibre.

Is Bubble and Squeak the ultimate in leftovers food? It should certainly be right up there, and really comes into it's own at Christmas, as it's a great way of using up leftover mash, sprouts and other vegetables. Originally a dish of beef and cabbage, it's morphed over time to suit our needs, so ignore anyone who says that a particular recipe should be followed, or that only certain ingredients work. Feel free to add in cold roast potatoes (the crunch is one of the best bits about this dish), or to use lardons or bacon in the pan to add to the flavour. Great on it's own, this is also the ideal foil to cold leftover meats like ham, turkey or…

The humble cabbage is often maligned, but it's been feeding the masses for thousands of years as one of the earliest domesticated crops. Not only is it nutritionally important, it's available all year and is incredibly versatile. Could that be the reason that it features in so many traditional Christmas menus? Right the way from the Nordics down to the Med, in some shape or form you'll find brassicas at the table. This version uses red cabbage, and takes it's inspiration from Norway, where it's traditionally paired with Roast Belly Pork. Easy to cook, sweet and spicy, it feels really luxurious. Christmas Braised Red Cabbage One of our favourite side dishes, great with any roast. 2 tbsp olive oil2 large onion (peeled…
