Easy one pan dishes!

[Laurasanford111]

Hi all

I'm a busy mum to 2 toddlers. My passion Is gardening not cooking, I really am not a great cook and find it doesn't excite me,my dh likes to cook but works long hours. I can do a decent curry, lentil bake etc. I like to eat lots of veg, I like to get my little ones eating good food to. I've read up about batch cooking, just never tried it. My friend tried convincing me to get a slow cooker but it's storing it that's the issue. So my question is, can anyone recommend me a place I can find quick under 45 mins one pan recipes, or a cook book? I find once I get into the swing of things I might find I enjoy it more

Thank you

The Roasting Tin series books are great for one pot, stick it in the oven meals

Some of our one-pot recipes:

1. Bean and sausage casserole: Fry an onion, fry sausages (cut in 'rounds'), add chopped tomato, add red kidney beans, add corn. Serve with rice
2. Fry a courgette and onion and green curry paste, add diced chicken, add coconut milk, serve with rice
3. Fry an onion and chicken, add fajita spices, add tomato puree, add peppers, serve in wrap

I recommend this to anyone that will listen baked paella www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/paella-oven
They talk about heating the liquid in the microwave but I just heat it up on the hob in my casserole dish and shove it in the oven. So delicious!!

2nd vote for yellow Roasting Tin book.. also a lot of the recipes work well in the Air Fryer.

This oven baked risotto is also lovely https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/oven-baked-risotto

This looks great
