Thank you so much, Pollycat. We are going to make this on Friday (minus the flat breads though) and best of all, I already have all of the ingredients in stock

Really appreciate the time you've taken to post

You're welcome, hope you enjoy it. The fresh coriander sprinkled on top really works.

We have it as a main with naan or I box up smaller portions to have as a side dish.

Funnily enough I’ve just made Jamie’s flatbread recipe from his 5 ingredients book for the first time for lunch. That recipe is 4 tablespoons self raising flour, 3 of yogurt and 1 of oil. I thought they were great and they will become a staple... I will use up some of my Kefir instead of yogurt next time.

That’s new recipe 4 so far and no disasters yet!

I use that one too and they are lovely...I make a big batch and freeze the dough works well

Nelski thanks for that - me & DH struggle to eat a whole batch when I make them!

Made a sw friendly Mediterranean chicken casserole tonight for tea served with rice, really enjoyed the change and my youngest son loved it too!

What sort of yogurt do you use?

OK, new recipe for me tonight:
chorizo, sausage, cabbage and chickpea stew.

I dislike chickpeas so will substitute some sort of beans, either haricot or cannellini.
No idea where this recipe came from but I was obviously interested enough at the time to copy it into my recipe folder. I last saved it in Word 2 years ago.

Has a carton of passata in too as well as beef stock (I'll probably use veg stock) so I might add diced potatoes to make it a one-pot meal.

Reading this reminded me that I was going to add Chorizo to my casserole and forgot, never mind will plan to use it for another meal!

Mrs Cheshire I used the real Greek yogurt from Aldi. When I use my Kefir I will strain it for an hour or so to thicken it up a bit

I haven't managed to get the length of deciding where I'm going to start with this :obut I am really keen to take part.:) My offspring only left today and I still have a fair number of "bits" and a load of veg to use up so hoping not to need a shop until next week. I'm thinking that I will allow up to £5 per shop to get any new ingredients I need to try a new recipe or two. I feel that's a reasonable balance for me between using up existing stocks while ringing some changes in the food I cook. I did get two "cookbooks" for Christmas but both are more "reads" than recipes. I've not had the chance to delve into them yet!

what did you get caronc?

I got Jamies Christmas last year but never ventured in for a look. Been looking today and now its full of coloured post it notes of things i want to try....is it just me that does this Theres a great chapter on leftovers and with a fair amount of turkey still in the freezer then I think i will have a go at one of these. Thinking about it I have an old Delia Christmas book too so I can see the festive season dragging on a few months this year
