Lentil ragù

"If you're not a fan of the red lentils going into a indistinguishable mush, then try using whole Brown or Puy Lentils. They will hold their shape a little better and will add a more pleasing texture."

"Better idea: For the lentils - Simmer lentils, 1tsp turmeric and 200ml veg stock or to cover in pan. When lentils cooked, add 1tbsp minced ginger and garlic, 1 tsp cumin and coriander, 1 1/2 tbsp chopped tomato. check seasoning and serve. For the okra - Start with a gently fried base of chopped onion, ginger and garlic. When onions soft, add the okra and spices. cover and cook gently til done. Add chillies liberally where required ;D "

"Baltar is right. Drop the tomatoes and onions (you could make simple salad with these instead)"

Chorizo, new potato & haddock one-pot

"Great recipe. Simple and tasty. I also added spinach on top of the chorizo, tomatoes and potato, before steaming the fish on top. I went a bit further and sprinkled some chili powder on to the fish and grated some fresh Parmesan over the top to serve. Oh and I had no parsley so I used coriander. Mine didn't quite look like the photo. somehow the fish always ends on the bottom of the plate with the rest on top! Still, very colorful dish."

"hmm seems the first mistake was to use the microwave! How about using a wok: 1. Add noodles to hot stock in a bowl and cover, meanwhile 2. Get Wok Hot, stir fry veg/sprouts (3mins), add chicken and tumeric (2mins), 3. add paste (1min), add stock and noodles. Only pour as much stock as you need. i.e. so that its not too watery 4. thicken with some coconut cream (a block is better here than the can) "
