Ingredients:
- 300 g cooked free-range chicken
- 3 slices of brown bread , crusts removed (plus extra breadcrumbs, if needed)
- 50 ml milk
- 1 clove of garlic
- a few sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 50 g olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large free-range egg
- olive oil
- TOMATO SUGO
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 x 400 g tins of quality chopped tomatoes
- ½ a teaspoon sugar , optional

- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350ºF/gas 4.
- Using a large knife, roughly chop up the chicken, giving it some texture, then set aside. Roughly break up the bread into a bowl and pour over the milk, tossing it together, and set aside until the milk is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, peel the garlic, and pick and finely chop the parsley.
- Put the soaked bread, olives, capers, garlic and Parmesan into a blender and blitz until combined. Add the chicken and break in the egg, then pulse very briefly, until the mixture is blended enough to be moulded into balls but is still a little chunky.
- Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then roll the mixture into small balls, about 2.5cm wide (if the mixture is a little too wet to work with, add some extra breadcrumbs until it comes together).
- Place the meatballs in a greased ovenproof dish. Drizzle generously with oil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the balls halfway so they’re golden on all sides.
- While the meatballs are cooking, make your sugo: heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, peel and crush in the garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.
- Tip in the tinned tomatoes, then fill the empty tin a third of the way up with water and add this as well. Cook over a high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened. If your tomatoes taste slightly acidic, stir in the sugar to sweeten. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sauce to the dish 5 to 10 minutes before the meatballs have finished cooking. Serve with the parsley scattered on top.

- Preheat the oven to full whack.
- Peel, finely chop and place the onion in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Season, add the cumin and coriander and fry for around 7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden, stirring every 30 seconds. Remove to a large bowl to cool.
- Wrap the crackers in a tea towel and smash up until fine, breaking up any big bits with your hands.
- Add to the bowl of onion with the oregano, mustard and minced beef. Crack in the egg and add a really good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. With clean hands, scrunch and mix it up well.
- Move the meat mixture to a board, then pat and mould it into a large, rugby-ball shape and rub over a little oil.
- You can either cook it now or put it on a plate, cover, and pop in the fridge until needed. If you're cooking it now, place the meatloaf in a casserole-type pan or baking dish, then pop in the hot oven.
- Immediately reduce the temperature to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6 and cook for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, peel and chop the onion into 1cm dice, then peel and finely slice the garlic along with the chilli.
- Place in a large frying pan on a medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil, the paprika and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Cook for around 7 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden, stirring every 30 seconds or so.
- Drain and add the chickpeas, along with the Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
- Bring to the boil, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste the sauce and season if needed.
- To finish, pick the rosemary leaves into a bowl. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and pour all the fat from the pan over the rosemary, mixing well.
- Spoon your sauce around the meatloaf, lay the slices of bacon or pancetta over the top and scatter over the rosemary leaves. Put the pan back in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bacon turns golden and the sauce is bubbling and delicious.
- Delicious served with a mixed-leaf salad and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

- 0% fat Greek–style yoghurt

- 1 red pepper
- 1 red chilli
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 3-4 spring onions
- ½ a bunch of fresh coriander

- Peel and slice the onions, peel and finely chop the garlic, and pick the coriander leaves and finely chop the stalks. Slice the chicken into 1cm strips.
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and, when hot, sauté the onions, garlic, coriander stalks, spices, and whole and flaked chilli for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft but not coloured.
- Add the chicken strips and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partly covered, for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken breaks apart when pressed with the back of a spoon. Add a splash of water if it looks too dry at any stage.
- Next, make the salsa. Blister the pepper and chilli skins by placing them under a hot grill or holding them with tongs over a gas flame. Once blackened all over, place in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and set aside to cool.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, put them in a colander with a pinch of sea salt and place it in the sink for 15 minutes to allow the salt to draw out some of the tomatoes’ water, then give the colander a good shake.
- Peel the skins from the pepper and chilli and discard along with the seeds, then place them on a board with the spring onions and chop.
- Add the tomatoes and pick over the coriander leaves and continue chopping until you have a fine salsa. Transfer to a bowl, and season with black pepper and a good squeeze of lime juice.
- Shred the chicken using two forks, then drain and stir the black beans into the chilli. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes until the beans are heated through, then remove from the heat and stir in the coriander leaves.
- Chop the lettuce, then serve the chilli in the tortillas with the lettuce, a good spoonful of salsa and a drizzle of yoghurt, with lime wedges on the side.
