INSANE GARLIC & CORIANDER NAAN I can categorically INSANE GARLIC & CORIANDER NAAN I can categorically say I have perfected the art of making naan breads without using a tandoor oven! These garlic and coriander beauties are the perfect accompaniment to any curry! My trick is to pop the yeasted dough in a bowl covered with a tea towel and to place it in the oven on the top shelf with a jug of boiling hot water below. The steam ensures you get a good rise and creates little air bubbles which are vital to achieving that fluffy texture when you tear the naan apart. As always, you can find the full recipe on my website: www.healthykitchendiaries.co.uk (link in bio)! #naan #naanbread #baking #bakingfromscratch #homemade #homemadefood #homemadebread #yeast #breadmaking #breadporn #breadbaking #bread #indianfood #garlicbread #garlicnaan

Introducing my next level Lancashire hotpot! A who Introducing my next level Lancashire hotpot! A whole lamb shoulder slow cooked with red onion, garlic, rainbow carrots and plenty of herbs for 4 hours in the oven. The meat is then shredded and sandwiched between sliced potatoes, topped with a little grating of parmesan. The bottom layer soaks up all the juices from the supercharged lamb jus, while the top layer turns golden and crisp. It’s a proper crowd pleaser and a few clever hacks help to cut the saturated fat and ramp up the fibre content. As always, you can find the full recipe on my website: www.healthykitchendiaries.co.uk (link in bio). According to my 67-year-old (soon to be) father in law, it’s one of the best meals he’s ever had! Have a great Sunday everyone!! #lambshoulder #lamb #hotpot #lancashirehotpot #sundaylunch #slowcooking #slowcook #bestever #recipeideas #sundaydinner #mealideas
PULLED PORK & CARAMELISED RED ONION PIZZA Who else PULLED PORK & CARAMELISED RED ONION PIZZA Who else is celebrating #nationalpizzaday? I went all out with this recipe, making the base, caramelised onions and tomato sauce from scratch. I even slow cooked a whole pork shoulder for 8 hours. Shop bought pizzas don’t even come close to making your own! This is comfort food at its best. ⬆️ RECIPE LINK IN BIO ⬆️ • • • #pizza #pizzalover #pizzalove #pizzagram #pizzaporn #pulledpork #porkshoulder #instantpot #slowcookerrecipes #slowcooker #tomatosauce #homemadefood #homemadepizza #foodporn
CREAMY ARTICHOKE RISOTTO WITH BABY PARSNIPS Need s CREAMY ARTICHOKE RISOTTO WITH BABY PARSNIPS Need some inspiration to take your meat free Monday to next level? This rich and oozy risotto is the perfect winter warmer and heroes two underrated root vegetables, Jerusalem artichokes and parsnips. Both are bang in season right now and are so incredibly versatile. Here, I’ve roasted baby parsnips, baked some artichoke crisps, and whipped up an artichoke purée which is stirred into the risotto. It’s a little time consuming (show me a risotto recipe which isn’t!) but it’s so worth the time and effort. ⬆️ RECIPE LINK IN BIO ⬆️ • • • #risotto #meatfree #meatfreemonday #meatless #meatlessmonday #meatlessmeals #artichokes #parsnip #artichoke #jerusalemartichoke #comfortfood #foodphotography #foodstagram #vegetarian #vegetarianfood #vegetarianrecipes
SLOW COOK LAMB SHANK RAGU WITH PAPPARDELLE What’ SLOW COOK LAMB SHANK RAGU WITH PAPPARDELLE What’s not to love about using a slow cooker? Chuck all the ingredients in before you start work and then you’ve got a readymade dinner for when you clock off! Ok, so I had to do a bit to bring it all together (the parmesan & thyme crisps are a must try) but it takes the stress out of cooking everything from scratch when you’ve planned ahead. Btw, fresh egg pasta tastes so much better than dried pasta. It also takes less time to cook which is a bonus!
