I’m cooking my way through the Tenderheart Cookbook.

Ginger and Coriander Noodle Pancake

I cooked this for my lunch one day when G was away. I had lots of coriander and ginger, plus a packet of instant noodles that E had bought when he had his wisdom teeth out and had been taking up room in my pantry since then.

The Quick Lowdown:

• Ingredients: instant ramen noodles, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, coriander leaves, ginger, oil, sea salt
• Prep work: You need to make a ginger and coriander oil first but it’s super easy.
• Dirty dishes: chopping board, knife, saucepan, frying pan, bowl
• Family-friendly: I think so.
• Regular rotation worthy: It’s probably not the healthiest dish, but it was fun for a change.

Ras al Hanout Cauliflower Wedges with Smashed Chickpeas

I made this while G was away because he doesn’t eat cauliflower, so I must make the most of it.

The Quick Lowdown:

• Ingredients: cauliflower, olive oil, ras el hanout, sea salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, tahini, lemon, garlic, ground cumin, cooked chickpeas, parsley
• Prep work: The cauliflower is roasted, and the mashed chickpeas are easy to make in a big bowl.
• Dirty dishes: chopping board, knife, roasting pan, bowl
• Family-friendly: If your family eats cauliflower, then yes.
• Regular rotation worthy: I would eat this again. The chickpeas make it a meal and are really tasty with roasted cauliflower.
