This Turkish classic is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in just 25 minutes total. Menemen is basically a savory vegetable scramble that's so much more interesting than a regular omelette, especially when you add creamy feta and sweet pointed peppers. The best part? It's incredibly budget friendly and uses simple pantry staples. Tomatoes in this dish provide lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that supports heart health, and they taste absolutely wonderful when combined with garlic and a pinch of chilli heat. Whether you're cooking for yourself or feeding a crowd, this one pan wonder delivers serious flavor with minimal fuss.

Instructions

1
Put the oil in a large non-stick pan and set over a medium heat. Drain the tomatoes in a sieve to remove any excess liquid, then add to the pan along with the onion, garlic, chilli flakes, oregano and peppers. Season and cook gently for 10 minutes, until the onions have softened and the sauce has reduced.
2
Add the beaten egg, season and gently stir until scrambled and barely set. Remove from the heat, scatter over the feta, parsley and a few more chilli flakes. Serve with hot buttered toast to mop up the juices, if liked.

Ultimate roast potatoes

After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within. The secret is using duck fat, which contains oleic acid, a heart healthy monounsaturated fat that's actually good for you. What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss. Trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back.

Tropical Quinoa (Ww)

This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
