Do you have any recipes that have no more than 5 ingredients?

[BellaBear]

My standards are:

rice + onions + red pepper + chicken + passata

and

pasta + cream cheese + defrosted frozen spinach + ham

(water is not counted

any others to inspire me?

Tartiflette, naughty but delicious and great comfort food

Potatoes+Cream+Onion+lardons+Camembert or reblochon

Chicken+cream cheese+red pesto+Prosciutto(or bacon)

Pork chops+apple sauce+ red onions+cheddar cheese

I like the BBC Good Food website. You put in your ingredients and they suggest recipes

Assuming that seasoning (salt & black pepper) doesn't count then:

Spaghetti + egg yolks + Parmesan + cream + pancetta = Carbonara

seasoning doesn't count, and anything bought as it is counts as one ingredient, if that makes sense!

Thanks for these, very inspiring - I can't cope with anything complictaed at all!

Goulash - beef, onion, red pepper, paprika & rice

Pasta + creme fraiche + salmon (smoked or fresh) + peas + dill or chives
= er, pasta and salmon

thanks, those are great!

Leeks + risotto rice + fish stock + tinned mackerel = a risotto that even fussy DD will eat

potato + butter + cheese = jacket potato

onion + tinned tomatoes + chickpeas + cinnamon + cumin (very decent tagine)

onion + garlic + curry powder + tinned tomatoes + red lentils (lentil curry)

Linguine + garlic + olive oil + white wine + king prawns

Chicken thighs/legs + fresh tomatoes + loadsa olive oil + fresh basil + garlic (bake in oven slowly, very good)

Ready rolled pastry + cream cheese + salmon + spinach = salmon en croute

Asparagus + Olive Oil + Anhovies + Penne

pasta + halloumi + butternut squash (+garlic & chillies)

butter + sugar + flour = biscuits

I'll get my coat...

pasta and pesto

pasta, sour cream, tomatoe puree and lemon juice and basil.

Leeks + cubed potatoes + mushrooms + marmite (in water) + cooked macaroni = quick and tasty stew

pasta + olive oil + chilli + garlic = yum

caviar and blini.

eggs+sausages+flour+milk+lard = toad in the hole

batter (flour, eggs, milk) as a pancake plus ham and cheese, ham and egg any other two ingredients or with sausage as toad in the hole.

aspagus and lemon rissotto (aspagus, rice, shallot, lemon and parmesan + water)

Our favourite pasta:

garlic + onion + raisins + sardines (in chilli oil if you can get them)+ tomatoes. Oh dear. That's 5 without the pasta you need to serve it. Delicious though.

Basil + pine nuts + parmesan + garlic + olive oil multiplied by blender = pesto (and pasta makes six).

Eggs + potatoes + oil + peas = egg, chips and peas + HP sauce as a necessary fourth!

Pitta breads + red pesto + olives + red onion + cheese = pitta bread pizzas.

Risotto rice + onions + stock + peas (or another vege) + parmesan = risotto.

Rocket + shaved parmesan + red onions + balsamic vinegar = bloomin' lovely.

Apples + flour + butter + sugar + custard = pudding.

Butternut squash soup:

Butternut squash (roasted) + onion + stock + curry paste + peanut butter.

Also baked potatoes, butter, cheese, beans.

Pasta, lentils, tomatoes, onion and garlic.

LOTS of great ideas, thank you so much

Onion + carrot + tinned tomatoes + mince + pasta = spag bol

(if it's not cheating to classify the following as seasoning, then I also throw in an oxo cube, tomato puree, a bit of sugar & worcester sauce - anything you have in the cupboard really)

Prawns + peas + creme fraiche + lemon juice + pasta

Pork chop covered in apple sauce then topped with cheese + 2 veg

Chorizo + chick peas + tinned toms - cook all together in oven until it all seems to be cooked!

I can manage these, and I don't do the cooking in our house

mustard chicken - chicken breasts (thighs or whatever), tablespoons of dijon mustard, plenty olive oil and red wine vinegar. Mix up wet ingredients, pour over chicken and grill till cooked.

Absolutely delicious.

lentils stock curry powder = dahl
