Chicken, pesto and rocket sandwich

Falafel

You can make these easy falafels in minutes for a delicious quick dinner. Top with chilli sauce, yoghurt, pickles or hummus to customise. It’s a simplified falafel recipe for those on a budget with limited kit – it’s so much cheaper than buying ready-made. See also our easy chickpea stew recipe and easy hummus recipe for more ways to zhuzh up that tin!

Tuna Niçoise wrap

We made these protein-packed wraps to take on a picnic and they were substantial and tasty – a feast in a flatbread. They survived the journey in a bicycle pannier well too, so just the thing for a day out in the hills and dales. Each wrap provides 461 kcal, 39g protein, 45g carbohydrate (of which 4.5g sugars), 14g fat (of which 2.5g saturates), 5g fibre and 1.8g salt.
