Quick and Easy

Nadiya shows us some quick and easy recipes for when life is busy. Sweet and sour stir-fried prawns make the perfect midweek meal, and she has a super-speedy cherry and chocolate pudding.

Nadiya Hussain turns her attention to quick and easy recipes to fit into our busy everyday lives. As a working mum of three, Nadiya is no stranger to juggling work and family, and she shares useful recipes that are all loaded with flavour but can be rustled up in no time.

Nadiya loves a sandwich but firmly believes that no sandwich should ever be boring. Why stick to the same tried and tested fillings when you can have so much fun experimenting with new flavour combinations? Inspired by a trip to Louisiana, she cooks up a delicious po’boy sub sandwich, stuffed to the brim with crunchy and quick-to-cook crabstick pakoras and served with a zingy garlic mayo made with the ingenious addition of fruity apple sauce.

Nadiya then turns her attention to one of her go-to simple suppers, sweet and sour stir-fried prawns on a bed of wok-fried noodles. No matter how manic life is, Nadiya always makes time for cake, and her delicious chocolate and cherry cake spiced with cinnamon is both easy and extremely tasty.

Finally, Nadiya shares one of her favourite speedy family meals, a spinach and paneer cheese pilau, all in one pot and topped with creamy eggs and crunchy red cabbage. A blessing in food form!

Meanwhile, Bristol-based supper club host Fozia Ismail teaches us how Somalia’s famous hot sauce can transform the everyday to the extraordinary.
