Greendale Beef Goulash Recipe

Flavoured with two types of paprika and packed with plenty of veg, this rich, warming beef stew is inspired by the traditional Hungarian Gulyás.

Serves 4, fairly generously. *Please note: you will need a lidded oven-proof casserole dish for this recipe*

Greendale Beef Fajitas Recipe

Lean Greendale rump steak combines with beans, herbs and fresh veg to make this healthy, spicy Mexican-inspired meal. We love the slightly messy ‘DIY’ aspect of assembling our own fajitas, but you can side-step this by rolling them yourself before serving, if preferred. Serves 4.

Made with Greendale’s own lean minced beef, this hearty pizza is topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. The dough will make one round pizza of about 25cm in diameter (or you can make several mini pizzas, but they won’t need quite so long in the oven). Serves 2.

Fragrant Baked Gurnard Parcels

Delicious Gurnard has long been popular in Mediterranean countries, but here in the UK we’ve taken a little longer to catch on! As well as being a more sustainable alternative to catches like Cod or Haddock, Gurnard is also now gaining recognition for its superior taste and succulent flesh. It works beautifully in simple recipes that allow its flavour to really shine – this easy foil-baking method does just that. Feel free to adapt the ingredients to include the herbs and flavourings you prefer (or have available). Serves 2.

Figs With Goats Cheese, Walnuts & Honey

This easy recipe is vegetarian-friendly, no-cook and fuss-free –and did we mention that it also tastes delicious, too? You can vary the nuts and cheese if you like (blue cheese is a delightful option), but do check that the cheese is not made with animal rennet if you need to keep the recipe vegetarian. Makes 16.

Packed with tasty Smoked Haddock and vegetables, creamy Chowder is a hearty and satisfying soup. Ready in about half an hour, it’s just the ticket when you need a quick, warming meal for a chilly evening. Serves 4.

Easy Romesco Sauce Recipe

Turn stale bread into something wonderful and make this Romesco-inspired sauce. Smoky, tangy and vibrantly coloured, Romesco originally hails from Spain.

This recipe will make a small bowlful, which can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Easy Pork Stroganoff Recipe

Savoury and sustaining, this creamy pork dish is so much more than the sum of its parts. It’s a pretty quick recipe, too, making it ideal to keep up your sleeve for those days when time is tight but you don’t want to compromise on quality. Serves 2.

Decorated Focaccia Recipe

Get creative and make your very own edible work of art! The decorating is fun to do with children – you can prep and prove the dough ahead of time, if you like, so all they need to do is add the toppings before a final prove and 20 minutes’ baking time. Makes one large focaccia loaf.

Comforting Apple Crumble Recipe

Crowd-pleasing fruit crumbles are hard to beat, especially when it’s cold outside. This recipe uses apples, but you can also use pears, rhubarb, plums, berries, peaches (or a mixture of whatever fruit you have to hand/need to use up). The crumble topping contains healthy oats and warming spices, and because the apples are eating apples, rather than cooking apples, there’s no need to add any extra sugar to them. Serves 4-6, depending how hungry you are!

Classic Mojito Recipe

Cool, fresh and perfect for warm summer evenings, this classic cocktail has never gone out of style. Makes one.

Classic Caesar Salad

There is some dispute as to the origins of this much-loved salad, though it’s generally agreed that it was named after a twentieth-century restaurateur and not a Roman emperor! Recipes vary, but ‘classic’ versions almost always include cooked chicken breast, croutons, anchovies and Parmesan cheese – plus, of course, Caesar Salad’s very own signature dressing. Serves 4.
