This breakfast starts with a small pan of cooked oats the evening before. Refrigerate the oats, then stir in yogurt and add freshly chopped apple in the morning. It suits a morning when you want to assemble breakfast without turning on the hob. The intended texture is spoonable, with soft oats beneath a crisp apple topping.
Ingredients & method →Start the vegetables first, then put boneless chicken thighs into the same oven on a separate tray. Two rimmed trays keep raw chicken juices away from the vegetables. Follow the thermometer checks even if the chicken looks browned.
Ingredients & method →A fork-mashed chickpea filling gives these wraps a base for chopped cucumber and grated carrot. The lemon and oil are mixed into the chickpeas rather than poured over the wrap at the end. This is a lunch to assemble without a hob or microwave, using canned chickpeas and wraps labeled ready to eat.
Ingredients & method →Frozen chopped spinach, eggs and toast make a warm breakfast without a long ingredient list. Cook the spinach according to its packet first, then remove excess liquid before it goes into the eggs. That separate step is important to the proposed method: adding a wet block of spinach directly to the scramble would make it harder to control both the texture and the cooking.
Ingredients & method →This one-pot soup combines split red lentils with canned tomatoes, carrot and onion. The lentils are cooked until soft before the tomatoes go in, so you can check their texture at a clear point in the method. There is no blender step: stir the soup for a slightly broken-down texture, or leave it more chunky.
Ingredients & method →Canned white beans and tomatoes make the base of this pasta sauce, with frozen spinach added after it has been cooked according to its packet. The pasta cooks separately so its water level and cooking time can follow the shape you bought. Keep a little pasta water to help bring everything together at the end.
