When my kids were small, we used to go to a farm to gather fruit and veg.
When we returned home, this risotto dish made with the leeks we had gathered
was tasty and easy to prepare. –
by Under Pressure
TIP:
A warming winter risotto that can be made traditionally or in a pressure
cooker. No hazelnuts? Use almonds or walnuts instead, or skip the nuts
entirely and add chopped mushrooms along with the the leeks.

This is a lovely dish, it can be served on its own for lunch or with chips
or wedges for a filling main course! It is also very quick to make, good
if you want something in a hurry! –

TIP:
Make this simple, satisfying supper a little healthier - use lean steak
and whole grain baguettes, and instead of full fat mayo, mix together 2
tablespoons each of mayo, natural yoghurt and grainy mustard.

Save time and do what one reviewer did - skip steaming the haddock, as
it's already cooked. Simply flake it into the mash and you're sorted!

Enjoy the taste of the Mediterranean with this pie. It's packed with vegetables
and chickpeas cooked in red wine with tomatoes and Italian herbs, and is
topped with a Parmesan, sun-dried tomato and fresh basil mash. –

Warming yet full of sunny flavours from the Med. Instead of chickpeas,
butter beans or cannellini beans would work a treat. Serve this easy
Italian jam tart for dessert.
