A week of vibrant meals to brighten up your plate

These vibrant purple sweet potatoes will brighten up your Monday. Top them with gently seasoned chickpeas, whipped cottage cheese with warming harissa and chunky tuna fillets. If you can’t get your hands on the purple variety, typical sweet potatoes will work just as well.

A simple stir fry is a great way to load up on extra veggies as you can throw in as many as you’d like. This veggie-friendly version is loaded with crispy tofu and tender broccoli, topped with red chilli and spring onion for extra kick. The teriyaki sauce is subtly sweet with flavours of garlic and ginger.

Embrace the flavours of the Med with a wholesome tagine and herby couscous. A bag of frozen chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables cuts down on prep time, combined with giant chickpeas, preserved lemons and soft apricots. A pinch of sumac and ras el hanout adds a rich and complex flavour.

Load up a bowl of grains with a colourful mix of fruit and veggies with hearty chunks of chicken. Here we used red and yellow peppers, cooling cucumbers, leafy baby spinach, creamy avocado and edamame beans, but you can use up whatever you have left in the fridge.

Recreate a takeaway favourite at home, perfect for Friday night, with our easy chicken gyros recipe. You can pack in as many veggies as you like by loading up flatbreads with salads and toppings. We’ve used our perfectly seasoned chicken shawarma and chunky chips as a base, topped with leafy salad, juicy cherry tomatoes and tangy pickled red onions.
