⭐️ Cottage pie ⭐️
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 10 minutes
A true, comfort food family classic, cottage pie is a lovely weekly addition to the menu. For me, baked beans are a must.
I serve mine with seasonal green vegetables (or whatever the kids will eat), and a good dollop of brown sauce 😋

Baked sweet potato falafel
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
The sweet potato gives a moist centre to these falafel, which are a great alternative to the traditional deep-fried version, though these bite-size mouthfuls still carry the classic flavours of cumin, coriander and garlic. With the filling power of chickpeas, they make a great snack or salad accompaniment. I usually serve them with tabbouleh and hummus.

⭐️ Slow-cooker Mexican beef ⭐️
❤️ This recipe is from my first cookbook, The Slimming Foodie (find it here https://amzn.to/3LaXNNH) ❤️
Beef cooked to tender perfection in a rich and aromatic Mexican-style sauce. Serve with Perfect Oven-baked Chips (see page 151) and shredded crisp lettuce, and top with cheese, jalapeños and coriander.
CALORIES PER SERVING: 293
SERVES: 4
Ingredients:
500g (1lb 20z) beef (such as shin or braising steak), excess fat trimmed off, chopped into chunks
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons Fajita spice mix (see book page 212 or link here: https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/fajita-spice-mix/ )
1 tablespoon cornflour
400g (140z) can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato purée
500ml (18fl oz) beef stock
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
400g (140z) can black beans, drained and rinsed
TO SERVE
shredded lettuce
grated Cheddar cheese
pickled jalapeños
coriander leaves Perfect
Oven-baked Chips (see book page 151)
Method:
1. Put the beef, onion, red pepper, spice mix and cornflour into the slow cooker bowl and stir it all together.
2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, stock, vinegar and black beans. Give everything a mix.
3. Cook on high for 6-8 hours, or on low for 10-12 hours. At the end of the cooking time you can remove the lid, but keep cooking on high for 30 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid and reach the desired consistency.
4. Once cooked, break up the meat with a wooden spoon and serve scattered with shredded lettuce, grated Cheddar, jalapeños and a few coriander leaves, with homemade chips on the side.
NOTE To cook this dish in a regular oven, preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan (350°F), Gas Mark 4, place the ingredients in a casserole dish, cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 3 hours, removing the lid for the last 30 minutes of the cooking time.
