After a busy day at work and a gym class you thought would be perfect for a Monday evening, hunting down ingredients at the supermarket for a new recipe is probably the last thing you feel like doing.
That same pasta dish? For a third successive night? A bit bleak, isn’t it?
You can do better than that. All you need is a bit of inspiration and every ingredient delivered to your door, including the recipe.
Thank goodness, then, for HelloFresh who do just that.
Here are four of its super-simple meals to add to your repertoire, all of which are totally delicious and can be prepared in as little as 20 minutes.
1. Parisienne chicken
You know when you’re craving classic comfort food, but the weather is too hot to get a casserole on the go?
Well, this is your solution.
A combo of chicken, chickpeas, Parisienne herbs, tomatoes and peppers, all served with fluffy couscous, it’s a summery alternative to a full-on winter stew.
And clocking in at a 20-minute cook time, you won’t be chained to the oven all evening either.
2. Super speedy prawn pilaf
Ah, pilaf. The Rolls-Royce of comforting rice dishes.
Aromatic spices, juicy prawns and a zingy twist of lime make for a satisfying mid-week option you can have on the table in no time at all.
You can make it all in a single pan too, so there’s no need to faff around for ages with extra dishes.
Best of all, you can enjoy 35% off your first four HelloFresh boxes plus a £10 gift card for amazon.co.uk, Asos, Costa or John Lewis when you sign up and use the code STYLIST4.
Bonus.
3. Mushroom and pancetta linguine
A pasta dish, sure, but far tastier than that pesto-based number you’ve been making since uni.
Flavour-bombs of pancetta and mushrooms, with asparagus for greenery and a sprinkling of pine nuts for texture?
Yes, we’re now obsessed and will be eating this forever. We won’t be taking any further questions at this time.
4. Paprika spiced cod
This deceptively easy fish dish is a masterclass in ‘looks far more difficult than it actually is’ cookery.
If you usually find white fish a bit dull, try it with smoky paprika, which kicks it up a few notches on the flavour scale.
Serve with crushed herby potatoes and crunchy mangetout, and you’ve got a fully Insta-ready ensemble.
