Smoky Chipotle Beef Meatballs with Black Bean Salsa

This is a dish packed with flavour which definitely tastes better after a night in the fridge. The meatballs are rich and smoky with chipotle, cumin, allspice, cloves and cinnamon, while red wine, dark chocolate, rich beef stock, cinnamon and bay add more depth to the sauce. With some fluffy white rice, a refreshing and zingy lime, black bean and pepper salsa, a dollop of cooling sour cream and some creamy avocado slices all add more texture and layers of flavour. One of my favourite recipes I’ve made recently. Make a big batch for your freezer and your future self will thank you later.

Spicy Tuna Quinoa Bowl with Kiwi Chimichurri

This tuna quinoa bowl is full of goodness. The spicing on the outside of the tuna works so well with the fruity, zingy and spicy kiwi chimichurri, while the creamy avocado and sweet mango add more flavour and different textures. Some chopped red pepper adds more colour and crunch and the quinoa with plenty of lime and sliced spring onion bulks out the dish and soaks up all the lovely flavours. I priced this out using frozen tuna fillets but as I always say, if you can, head to your local fishmonger. These would be great on the bbq and would also work so well with salmon or chicken.
