No more hanging around let's diving into some unbelievably yummy meals for you and your family to enjoy. 

Delicious Yet Spicy Chilli & Rice Combo 

Chilli is one of those meals that you can cook in a matter of 30 minutes and it packs incredible depth of flavour almost like you have left it to simmer for hour upon hours. Preparing the dish with a meat substitute of your choice can leave you with a meaty texture that leaves you nice and full long after you have enjoyed the meal. Seasoned with a blend of Mexican spices you can be sure that the flavour offered by the chilli will leave you craving more. Paired with some natural brown rice, this is the perfect combo to make your Monday feel like a Friday! 

Fresh Falafel Served In Toasted Pitas 

Falafel is a staple for vegans around the world and when freshly fried this meal is the perfect example of plant-based junk food. If you looking to keep this meal under the 30-minute mark you can head out and pick up some delicious falafels from your local’s supermarket. Simply slip them in the oven while you prepare all of the fresh vegetables and herbs. This meal goes amazing with some fresh coriander, lettuce and a sprinkle of chopped chilli. To make sure those pittas and nice and crispy, throw them on the hob for 30 seconds per site, this creates those lovely burnt bits that add to the overall flavour. 

Sweet & Smokey Pulled Jackfruit Tacos 

Jackfruit is the best replacement for pulled meat. Dumped straight into the pan, this fruit will slowly soften up as it is heated, after about 10 minutes the fruit will reach the perfect texture where it stays slightly firm but can be pulled a seasoned to create the wonderful meaty appearance. served in a crisp taco shell with some fresh vegetables and salsa of your choice, this meal is going to leave you wanting more and more. With taco kits being available in every supermarket across the country, there are no additional ingredients needed which not only saves you time but money as well. Add a sprinkle of lime juice for that extra zing on your tongue. 

Curried Chickpeas With Fresh Herbs 

Served with a carb of your choice, curried chickpeas are one of the most diverse meals on this list. I have had this meal two times this week, after making one bulk portion I was able to plate it with rice and pitas on two different days. You can make this as easy or complicated as you like depending on your experience. I like to cook up some onions garlic and chilli with a hefty portion of mild curry pounder, from there you can dump in your chickpeas, chopped tomatoes and some coconut milk for an extra creamy finish. Now you can just leave it to simmer until you're ready to serve. Whilst 30 minutes is more than enough time for this meal if you leave this for longer the chickpeas absorb more of the flavour which helps take the flavours to the next level.
