Blitzed broccoli and chickpea salad base

This 10-minute salad base is spiced with citrusy sumac and given a nuttiness with golden fried almonds. It keeps really well in the fridge so you can dip into it for lunches, sides and meals-to-go all week. For this recipe you will need a food processor.

Warm spiced cauliflower and chickpea salad with pomegranate seeds

This is one of my favourite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side. And you could also bolster it further by crumbling in some feta. But for me, it is perfect just as it is. Each serving provides 483 kcal, 17g protein, 39g carbohydrate (of which 14g sugars), 26g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 15g fibre and 2.7g salt.

Chickpea, spinach and egg curry

This vegetarian low-calorie chickpea curry makes a wonderful, easy after-work meal, and is ready in less than 20 minutes. It’s also vegan if you leave out the egg. Each serving provides 441 kcal, 26g protein, 92g carbohydrates (of which 8.5g sugars), 20g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 15g fibre and 0.6g salt. With a GI of 45 this meal is high protein, low GI.
