Starting
Afresh
It might be cheesy to talk about healthy recipes in January, but
there’s probably a good reason for it: in the dark midwinter
days we need the boost that raw and simply prepared foods
can give us. These healthy dishes are flavoursome, packed
with mood lifting antioxidants – and barely any cheese.

This is literally chicken coated in harissa seasoning and simply griddled.
To make the harissa paste, see the ingredients below, or buy ready made.
• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 small roasted peppers (from a jar)
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 4-5 small red chillies, finely chopped
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp caraway
• 1 tsp fennel
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp olive oil
Place all the harissa ingredients in a blender and blitz to a paste.
Spread over chicken and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. Heat
griddle pan and cook the coated chicken for 5-10 minutes on
each side, until chicken is cooked through. Serve either hot
with mixed seasonal vegetables, or cooled with salad.
