Quick & simple high-iron meals

[Everything0Everywhere]

I need to increase my iron intake and I'm looking for quick and simple meals with high iron. We have limited time in the evenings (and children who like simple food!) so looking for meals that we can easily incorporate into our lives.

We currently eat a lot of chicken and we don't eat fish. We use the airfryer a lot but also have an oven, hob & microwave.
Ideally, I'd like to only cook one meal for adults & children but happy to adapt (ie. same main ingredients but remove sauces/spices for kids)

Please give me your suggestions!

@DelilahBucket I take a spatone sachet every morning, two a day when I'm on my period

At least you are having the spatone along with iron rich foods. I see spatone recommended as a 'gentle iron supplement' on MN every week (not by you, by others)! That's because it contains only 5mg of iron per sachet. Even a regular multivitamin with iron contains 14mg. For people trying to correct an actual deficiency, the prescribed doses can be 10x this amount. It also take 3mths for red blood cells to replicate, so people changing their diet or starting to take supplements to correct a deficiency have a long wait to start to see improvements.

Watercress is much better than spinach. Can chuck in curries, sauces etc as well as have instead of lettuce in salads.

Dairy for snacks but dairy-free at mealtimes.
Some darker breads are higher in iron, check
the nutrition panel.
Brown tinned lentils cooked in stock with cubed sweet potatoes, add tumeric and curry to the level your children would like.
Burritos with chili con carne for the beef and the kidney beans.
pumpkin seeds
