His: white fish and chickpeas in a chilli and kalamata olive tomato sauce with spaghetti
One of our favourite throw-it-together fish dishes.
Simply add chopped garlic, chilli, parsley to an oven dish along with tinned chopped tomatoes (or use chopped, fresh tomatoes ), cooked chickpeas and drained black olives. Mix together and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place white fish fillets in the dish and spoon over the sauce. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

His: tuna sweetcorn salad wraps
His: sweet and spicy roast chicken with red and black rice and green beans
His: Spanish chicken with butterbeans and chorizo, wild rice, mange touts and baby corn
Made a nice tangy spice rub for our roast chicken today. Mixed up plenty so have the remainder in a little jar, for using in the future.
Sweet and Spicy Rub
2 tbsp each: smoked paprika, ground coriander, hot cayenne pepper and dark brown sugar.
1 tbsp garlic granules
1 tsp each ground pepper and sea salt flakes
This is also good on white fish, salmon, tofu or on some chunkily chopped-up root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips or sweet potatoes.
A splash of lemon at the end of cooking really adds something to this as well
Enjoy!
