Recipe of the week:

Easy Tuna Quesadilla

105g tin of tuna in spring water
Juice of quarter of a lemon
1 heaped tbsp of greek yoghurt (can sub for plant based)
Good grinding of black pepper
Small handful of grated cheese – around 30g (can sub for dairy free cheese or leave out)
1 large tortilla wrap

Mix the drained tuna, yoghurt, pepper and lemon juice together in a bowl, then spoon onto one half of the tortilla wrap, spreading evenly.

Sprinkle over the cheese then fold the other side over so you have a half moon shape. Press to seal the quesadilla together and even out the filling.

Pop into a medium-hot dry frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla has taken a lovely golden colour.

Transfer to a board and use a pizza cutter to slice into triangles.

Suitable from 6 months – the filling is really soft and the tortilla will soften as it cools.

Can be frozen for 2 months. It will be a bit soggy when defrosted so reheat in the oven till piping hot all the way through and crispy on the outside.

Recipe of the week:

Chicken Curry

400-500g of diced chicken (thigh or breast)
400g tin or packet of tomatoes (chopped or passata)
1 large white onion, grated to form a paste
1 tbsp of sunflower oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp mild garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
Half a tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
Good grinding of black pepper

In a large saucepan brown the chicken pieces briefly in half the oil, on a high heat, so they take on colour but don’t cook through. Set aside.

Add the remaining oil and cook the onion on a medium high heat for 4/5 minutes. Add a splash of water to stop them catching.

Take the pan off the heat while you add the garlic and spices, then return to the heat and cook for a further minute. Stir continuously to avoid the spices burning.

Add the tomatoes, stir and bring to the boil. Add the chicken to the sauce, lid on let it reduce down.

After 10 minutes, fill the empty tomato juice in the tin. Add to the curry, stir and reduce the heat to simmer and put the lid back on. Cook for a further 10-15 minutes while you cook some flatbreads or rice to go on the side. Serve with fresh coriander (optional).

Suitable from 6 months. Freezable for up to 3 months
