Seasonal winter meal plan

Get your week off to a plant-powered start. Batch-cook this creamy dal on a Sunday and top with tikka-marinated tofu and a sizzling curry leaf tarka – sure to liven up your taste buds on the coldest of days.

A bowl of chicken broth is the ultimate winter comfort food, and this version is quick and easy enough to make on a busy weeknight. Shredded chicken is simmered in a fragrant chicken bone broth with a hint of lime and a drizzle of fiery sriracha.

Hit your fibre goals with this easy, creamy soup, made with a jar of punchy Thai red curry paste, coconut milk and plenty of veggies for a nourishing winter dinner that’s easy to whip up after work.

These easy salmon parcels are made with just seven ingredients but still pack a flavour punch. Wrap up Scottish Caledonian Gold salmon fillets, vibrant veggies, sticky teriyaki sauce, and rice in foil parcels, then bake to lock in all the delicious flavours.

Round off the week with a stick-to-your-ribs beef mince pie topped with a cheesy, crunchy potato and swede topping. This recipe freezes well, so it’s worth doubling up and stashing some away for another day.
