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?

Shredded roast chicken, pine nuts, raisins, rosemary and pasta - venetian style chicken pasta.

You roast the chicken (can be chicken legs), shred it, then heat up and mix with the pine nuts, rosemary and raisins. Serve with pasta

Pasta, creme fraiche, veg or chicken stock cube, brocolli and bacon plus a million variations by swapping broc and bacon some other bits and bobs

baked potato, fry some chorizo, add some cheese sauce and peas to chorizo and pour on potato

i'm loving this thread and may have to get my menu planner out and add some of these.

Chorizo + beans/chickpeas + tinned tomatoes

Pork fillet + seasoning + potatoes + spinach + cream

Meat + stew veg (yeah I'm cheating!) + wine + stock + pearl barley

peas + streaky bacon + creme fraiche + parmesan + pasta

spinach + pesto + pasta

chicken breast (diced) + red pesto + breadcrumbs

(am actually struggling to think of anything I make regularly that has more than 5 ingredients!)

chorizo + mushrooms + onions + peppers + rice. Fry veg on hob, add chorizo, stir in rice, add double eater to rice = lovely supper.

Mushrooms + garlic + white wine/stock + cream + pasta = lovely pasta sauce.

Curry paste + veg + chicken/prawns + tinned toms + coconut milk = lovely quick curry to serve with rice/naan as required.

This thread is making me so hungry

Onion + garlic + Cube/pieces of lamb (fry gently add tbl sp too puree + stock simmer for an on low heat) + tin of chick peas = hearty stew esp served wit crusty bread love this thread hav had a copy and pen out jotting down all the lovely recipes thanks everyone

Tin tuna + tin tomatoes + tin chickpeas (+chilli or harrissa for flavour if you like) plus couscous = yummy dinner in 5 mins.

thai green curry paste + coconut milk+ chicken + babycorn+ mangetout = thai green curry (add the ingredients in that order too).

apparently in Australia there is some sort of cooking show in which each dish has 4 ingredients

link.

when my MIL visited last she gave me a cookbook. If you'd like it, CAT me - I'm never going to use it as (i) it has no pictures and (ii) I was marginally insulted on being presented with it shortly following her arrival. it wasn't presented in a GOOD way....

important point - the cook book she gave me is the cook book from the show....

ah thank you - I won't as I'm useless with recipe books, but this thread has really inspired me! Thanks everyone so much

Lemon (2) + Honey (2 tbsp) + Dried Rosemary + Chicken thighs (6-8)

Juice lemons. Mix up with honey and rosemary. Pour over chicken. Throw in lemon skins. Cook at 180 for 35 min.

Tasty. A Rachel Allen recipe. I serve it with rice and veg.

apple juice or white wine + chicken stock + chicken thighs + lemons + olive oil

Pour apple juice and stock over thighs (skins removed). Add juice of lemons and throw in skins. Drizzle over olive oil and season.

Cover tightly with foil. Cook at about 180 for 2 hours or so. Remove foil 15 min before serving to brown.

Serve with rice, cheese sauce, veg, jacket potatoes etc.

Pork tenderloins + djion mustard + runny honey + wine vinegar + breadcrumbs

Choose thin cut tenderloins. Tenderise by bashing with rolling pin. Mix up equal parts honey and mustard. Add splash of vinegar and mix. Coat in breadcrumbs. Fry. Keep warm in low oven while you cook the rest.
