RECIPE TIPS
KEEP IT FRESH

If you decide to buy larger canned goods, make sure that you transfer the remaining contents to a plastic container and use within a few days.

SHOPPING FOR ONE

It’s often cheaper to buy meat, chicken and fish in larger packs, so divide it into portions and freeze for another time.

THINK AHEAD

Plan your meals so that you can recycle your leftovers, for instance cook extra boiled potatoes one night and use them in a frittata the next day.

Just knocked this up as a snack. Frozen Hake fillet defrosted overnight, left out lettuce but everything else as recipe. Used a chinese takeaway plastic container with small hole cut in lid and microwaved for 4mins. Absolutely delicious.

Surprisingly tasty for a micro meal. I didn’t have a problem with water content although I did use about a spoon and a half of creame fraiche. I cooked it for 8 minutes in a 800 watt microwave and it was cooked perfect. It’s not something I would write home about but certainly a quick and tasty…

I really liked this, but agree about the water; however, I used more crème fraîche the second time and it worked better. I also added some brown microwave rice to the veg for the carbs and it was great. I still haven't quite worked out the cooking time (I used salmon then basa) and needed to cook…

This is very quick to make but otherwise nothing special.

I did this in the microwave, I used baby leaf salad instead of lettuce, was much less watery. Bit of lemon zest and juice livens it up a bit.
