Meals for two

If you’re doing Meat Free Monday, this is the perfect plant-based supper

Take inspiration from East Asia and add noodles to an omelette for a more substantial meal – they’ll go deliciously crispy at the edges

With minimal prep and cooking time this dish can easily be doubled up for unexpected guests. Serve it with some brown rice or crusty bread and a fresh green salad

Chicken and apple might sound like an odd pairing, but when they’re braised together, the sweet fruit soaks up the rich gravy. It’s perfect comfort food for a crisp, cold evening

Succotash is a North American side dish made with corn – we’ve added sweet potato to make it more filling. It’s also good alongside grilled chicken or fish

This is an easy, rather special meal for two that will cheer you up on a cold and wet evening. Add a splash of orange juice to the mash for a zesty kick if you like

Give leftover celery a new lease of life in this creamy and comforting risotto. It makes a perfect midweek sofa supper

This simpler-than-it-seems dish tastes just like a roast on a weekday – always a good thing. Feel free to mix up the herbs in the milk – switch the thyme for sage, rosemary or oregano

If you’re trying to eat more meat-free meals, try switching the chicken out for another tin of pulses, such as chickpeas
