YOUR ULTIMATE MENU 42  |  14th JANUARY 2019

This week’s menu features a couple of ethnic-inspired recipes with lots of fresh veggies! First on the list is Asian-style fish with noodle salad - nutritious, delicious AND ready in under 30 minutes. Spiced lamb with sundried tomato hummus is a version of Hummus B’lahmeh, a Middle Eastern dish. I’ve added a few extra veggies to make it weeknight worthy! Finish the week off with a simple ham and cheese rice slice. If you still have leftover Christmas ham, then this is a great way to help use it up!

Asian-style fish with noodle salad is a refreshing meal with a delicious tangy dressing. In less than half an hour you’ll have a yummy, nutritious dinner ready to go!

This summery meal of zucchini, pea and feta fritters is equally as good for lunch as it is for dinner. For a non-vegetarian option, I can highly recommend adding either bacon or smoked salmon!
