Notes
- Keep the components apart if you are making these for the week. Assembled bowls go soggy by the second day; kept separate in the fridge, they last 4 days. Cool the rice and chicken quickly and refrigerate them within 1 hour of cooking.
- The rice is cooked in stock and finished with lemon off the heat, which keeps the acidity bright rather than cooked out.
- Rinse the sliced red onion under cold water for a few seconds to take the raw burn off without losing the crunch.

- One-Pot Chicken OrzoBoneless chicken thighs browned in a deep pan, then returned to it to finish cooking in orzo that has been toasted in the pan and simmered in hot stock with lemon zest until its starch turns the liquid creamy. Lemon juice, baby spinach, Parmesan and dill go in at the end, and the whole dish is cooked in a single pan.
- Roasted Pumpkin with FetaPumpkin wedges roasted skin-on in a hot oven with olive oil, chilli flakes and thyme until the edges caramelise, then finished while still warm with crumbled feta, a drizzle of honey, toasted pumpkin seeds, mint and lemon. Salty cheese, a little chilli heat and sharp lemon balance the soft, sweet flesh.
- Warm Quinoa SaladAn autumn grain salad served warm: cauliflower, red onion and chickpeas roasted with cumin and smoked paprika until browned at the edges, then tossed with just-cooked quinoa that has been tipped over baby spinach so the leaves wilt in its heat. A lemon-tahini dressing, parsley and pomegranate seeds bring sharpness and freshness to the smoky roasted vegetables.
