Dad and Noah recipes
By Christian Warren, Editor
It’s never too early to get kids into tasty, home-cooked food and if they can cook it themselves – even better. Here are a few of our family favourites that keep the chi l l away, energy high and taste buds tingl ing
Baked beans
Ingredients
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, finely sliced 1 red pepper, finely diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 800g (2 tins) cannellini beans – soak these overnight in cold water 400g tin tomatoes 1 tbsp smoked paprika 2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp maple syrup or treacle 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Method
Tandoori cauliflower
This is so tasty as a light snack, or add some pi lau rice or naan breads to enjoy as a main course
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower trimmed and cut into bite size florets 4 or 5 tbsp (100g) plain Greek yogurt 3 cloves garlic, finely grated Grated ginger – about the size of a thumb 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 2 tsp Tandoori spice blend salt to season
Method
Preheat oven to 250°C. In a large bowl stir together yogurt, garlic, lime juice, tandoori spice and ginger. Place the florets into the bowl and gentle tumble them around until fully coated. Place coated cauliflower on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. I check by poking with a sharp knife after about 25 minutes.
A staple of many British store cupboards, a can of ‘baked beans’ popped in the microwave is pretty simple. These are not that much more effort but are so much more rewarding. We make these in huge batches and they last all week. Serve on their own over sourdough (see page 78) or as a side to other dishes
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and gently fry until it starts to become translucent – about 8 to 10 minutes. Then add the pepper and garlic and fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add beans and cook for a further 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to a low simmer and add all other ingredients and cook for 20 minutes.
Banana and oat smoothies
These are a super way to start any day. They’re so quick and easy we knock them up before school or at the weekends before a foot- ball match
Ingredients
4 cups unsweetened soy milk 2 bananas 2/3 cup rolled oats 1 tsp honey or malt extract
Method
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses or jars - something fun.
Do a little dance around the kitchen with all that extra time and energy you’ve got!
