Main Course Recipes

Chicken Chorizo and Beans

A tip of the hat to Nigella Lawson... this is great served with spring greens or cabbage.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Chicken breast fillets stuffed with cheese and thyme, wrapped in bacon, with a creamy apple gravy. 4 servings, difficulty moderate. Prep time: 30 min, Cooktime: 45min.

SAF's Savory Meat Pie

A classic British steak pie
Prep Time:approx 20 mins Cook Time: 2 1/2 hours altogether
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Gooey Beef Burritos

A US recipe that can be converted easily. A bit lighter and more flavorful than the usual fajita or beef burrito. If you can't find mozzarella (we've found it as Tescos), use a very mild cheddar. It's nice just served with a salad, espcially if you put avocado in it!

Chicken and Mushroom nibblers

Little chicken and mushroom pies, great for dinner or snacks
Prep Time: 10-15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Cottage Pie

Traditional British favorite meat and potato dish, with vegetarian version. Serves 4-6. Prep time: 30 min, cook time: 45-90 minutes depending on oven temp. Difficulty: med. Experiment with oven times before needing this on a deadline! Lovely with broccoli and peas.

Rosemary Lemon Roast Salmon

An impressive looking-but very easy-method of cooking salmon
Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins (approx)
Difficulty: Easy

Cooking time: 

20 minutes

Ham and Cabbage Bake

A US recipe, but easily converted.

Chicken & Broccoli Casserol

A US recipe, but easily converted.

Tomato Fry-Up

This is a good recipe for when you've got extra veggies to cook up and no idea where to put them. It is slightly higher carb due to the tomatoes, but unless you are on strict induction (or hate tomatoes!) it is still low carb and has never halted my weight loss.
