Three Easy, Delicious and Nutritious Recipes from Dr Rupy
Full of flavour and real goodness, these recipes are perfect for when the summer weather won't play ball
Dr Rupy of the popular Doctor's Kitchen podcast has collected more than 100 delicious and easy recipes full of flavour and goodness in his latest cookbook Cooks. Here he shares three of his favourites.
Ayurvedic Jewish Penicillin
This nourishing and spicy broth is my favourite meal to prepare for the family when they need a boost. It has a great collection of polyphenol-rich spices, anti-viral allium vegetables and plenty of warming flavours. I prefer to keep the spices like cloves and peppercorns whole, but feel free to remove them before serving.
Spicy Halloumi Bake
This is spicy, wholesome, warm and inviting, all in a dish. The beautiful spices of ras el hanout work super-well in this simple traybake and you can easily substitute different vegetables for the squash and greens. A moreish dish packed with flavour that everyone will enjoy.
White Bean Prawn Saganaki
This dish will blow you away. The sauce is simple to make, but the flavours are intense, sweet and spicy. The caraway and nigella seeds lend an undertone of earthy flavours with the hum of garlic and kick of red chilli to counter. The greens and beans pack this with more vegetables, but the sauce is full of the good stuff too. You can easily make this vegetarian by simply substituting the prawns with more beans that have plenty of protein.
