Quick no-cook healthy falafel bowl recipe

Marks & Spencer

When the midweek slump hits, this no-cook bowl means you can get dinner sorted in 10 minutes – a winner on balmy days.

Saturday

Healthy red pepper, pea and butter bean paella

Marks & Spencer

This colourful, fibre-rich veggie take on a paella is made for eating on a warm weekend summer night. Sweet peppers, peas and butter beans are finished with a shortcut ‘aioli’ in a dish that’s made to share with a cold glass of whatever you fancy.

Sunday

Barbecued burnt lime and turmeric chicken thighs

Round off the week with a laid-back barbecue feast. Marinate these chicken thighs overnight to allow them to soak up all the punchy flavours, then grill and serve with flatbreads, pickled onions and your favourite summer side dishes.
