Roasted Vegetable Pasta (Gluten Free) with RawSpiceBar Chipotle Spice Mix

November 21, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I was recently sent this month’s spice collection by RawSpiceBar. I’d never tried their spice mixes before so thought I’d give this one a go and added their Chipotle Salt spice mix to a roasted vegetable pasta, to make a normal everyday meal a bit more exciting. It tasted amazing and what I love about…

Moroccan Brown Rice

September 13, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

The best thing about being half Moroccan is, by far, the food. Who doesn’t like Moroccan food? Moroccan grandmothers are renowned for their cooking skills and my grandmother was one of the best. My mum grew up in the East End of London – you literally couldn’t find a bigger disparity between my dad’s upbringing…

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

September 7, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Look at my wrinkly peppers! 🙂  I recently came back from Spain and they seem to ‘stuff’ a lot of food there so it inspired me to do stuffed peppers. My mum always made them for us growing up so not sure why I don’t do them more often – probably because she made them…

Non-Boring Runner Beans!

August 16, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I just love when Abel & Cole send me a sweet little recipe idea in my weekly box. This week they sent over a bunch of runner beans (which I found really boring growing up!) with a bit of inspiration for them and they turned out beautifully and are no longer boring! A perfect accompaniment…

Mushroom & Spinach Frittata

May 12, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Another easy dinner choice, a variation on my last frittata. You can pretty much add anything you want to it – whatever is in the fridge and needs to be used. It’s one of those ‘Thursday night meals’! Ingredients 6 organic free-range eggs 1 tsp English mustard 2 potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly Half a…

Easy Chicken Rice Vegetable Dinner

September 17, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Easy, throw-it-together dinners that don’t take too long. We’re all looking for more of these aren’t we? Who has time mid-week to stand in the kitchen for hours making a gourmet meal? Certainly not us! I saw a TV chef making something similar once so I decided to put my own healthy stance on it…

Carrot & Coriander Soup

September 2, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Autumn is now upon us in London, and I’m feeling the drop in temperature instantly. I tend to make heaps of soups during the winter months. They are great for lunch as they fill you up but are super nutritious also, if you use the right ingredients. Carrots are a great source of fibre and…

May 19, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’m always looking for new dinner ideas – preferably ones that don’t take hours and are healthy and I got this idea from my Abel & Cole organic fruit and veg box and it’s the perfect veggie dinner option for the whole family, I guarantee they’ll all love it! I am using cheese in this…

Zoodles with Roasted Fennel, Sage & Salmon

February 25, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

I recently bought a spiralizer and have been excited to start playing with it. I would definitely recommend getting one if you want to eat more healthy food… it was super easy to use and this dish was just as satisfying as a regular pasta. Maybe even more so because I felt so good after…

Butternut & Sage Pasta

February 16, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

This is a quick and easy family dinner – I literally only had 35 minutes to get food on the table, and that included writing the recipe and taking a photo! I am in love with sage… it’s such a versatile herb and the tangy, lemony flavour really comes out with roasting. It pairs beautifully…
