Cracking curries

Spice up the humble chickpea with our addictive kadala curry, prepped and ready to go in 15 minutes. It counts as three of your 5-a-day, and it's also freezable for future speedy dinners. Or how about a zesty lime & coconut dhal with all the trimmings, or our cheat's black dhal topped with spicy cauliflower?

Grab a tin of kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and a few clever additions to make our healthy vegan curry. This is a great budget-friendly option for nights when you don't fancy the trek to the supermarket.

We love the combination of sweet potato, spinach, coconut milk and a spoonful of peanut butter in our satay sweet potato curry. The kick from the red curry paste, balanced by the cooling effect of the coconut milk, makes it perfect for a family dinner. We predict it'll be a staple in no time. Go green with our super simple masala butternut squash curry, prepped and ready to cook in just 10 minutes.

Get the rice at the ready, some soft chapatis to accompany your curry and enjoy a feast for the senses.

Mexican feasts

There's always time for tacos! Try our chargrilled vegetable tacos with smoky salsa for a healthy DIY dinner that manages to pack in all of your 5-a-day in one colourful plateful. Pile on the fruity salsa and crunchy red cabbage for plenty of texture and flavour.

We've got dinner all wrapped up with our easy vegan pulled jackfruit with our ultimate guacamole.

Mix up your midweek meals with our easy Mexican rice bowls with black bean, tofu and avocado. Add a few slices of chilli to the bowl if you like it spicy.

Nourishing noodles

A stir-fry with plenty of ingredients thrown in is the perfect solution to a busy weeknight dinner. Make our seitan & black bean stir-fry for a satisfying supper with a sticky sweet and spicy sauce we can't get enough of. Chilli, peanut butter and soy sauce is a match made in heaven – and now in your kitchen. If you prefer Thai flavours, mix up an easy vegan version of a classic Thai noodle curry, full of flavoursome veg and spices.

Looking for a budget-friendly meal? Our satay noodle soup uses mostly storecupboard ingredients that won't break the bank. Season generously and sprinkle on some chopped spring onions when you're ready to serve for a little crunch. For a big meal with enough portions to feed a family, whip up our coconut curry noodle bowl, with a dash of sriracha to bring the heat. If you're hungry for hoisin, our sticky noodles are sure to hit the spot.

Comforting classics

Another recipe that makes the most of the trusty tattie is the classic jacket potato. Try our healthy version topped with a spoonful of chickpea curry, or our sweet potato jackets with guacamole & kidney beans.

If two steps still sounds like too much effort, try making our ultimate veggie chilli, prepped in two minutes and made with just four ingredients.
