Provençal Roasted Lamb

I don’t usually cook or eat large portions of meat like this and I was nervous to even try, but this turned out great (if I may say so myself!) and I’m definitely keeping this in my arsenal. This is super easy, I promise. I wouldn’t be doing it otherwise!

Gratin De Crepes (Stuffed Baked Crepes)

This was one of my favourite recipes made over the Circuit Breaker (read: lockdown) period. It requires at least 1 pot, 1 pan, and 1 baking dish (which is a lot for Ms One-Pot Meal here), but the recipe is simple, and the results are incredibly rewarding – so rewarding that it justifies all the dishes you whipped out.

Kale Pesto

Pesto: greens + nuts + cheese + nuts + acid + oil. I rarely make pesto the traditional way using basil and pine nuts, because I don’t have them casually lying around, and I like to make things with what I have at home – so today its kale and walnuts!

Chickpea Stew

In a time like this, we are going for dishes that can be made with ingredients that are affordable and easy to stock up on. I’ve mostly gone for canned products here (chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, etc), so you can keep these in your kitchen cupboard on standby for whenever the cravings kick in.

Fruit Galette

A pastry that requires some time, but gives high returns! This is a pastry dough that requires a little more time and finesse than most, but I promise you it’s so good that you’d keep returning to it. It’s probably the best pastry I’ve ever made and it is worth every second of effort.

Mushroom Meatballs

Mushroom (Meat)balls? Mushroom meatless balls? Mushroom balls? Whatever it is, these are absolutely plant-based, and are just as good as the OG meatballs! Eat them as they are with some marinara sauce, smashed in a cheesy sandwich, or make them ahead to keep in your freezer!

The pastry needs only 4 ingredients* and a tupperware box. No need for rolling pins or mixing bowls! This is my go-to when someone decides to come over for dinner unplanned. The pastry literally takes you LESS THAN 5 MINS to put together using just a few pantry staples!
