Zesty Herbed Chicken Broth
This broth was born out of the leftovers of my Roasted Chicken with Herb Butter, the recipe for which I have posted on this site. I like it because it is simple, satisfying, and can usually be made with the ingredients I have on hand. If you roast two chickens for dinner on Sunday, you can make a soup that will provide you with lunches for days! My "secret ingredient" to add a little zip is two dried chipotle peppers, which simmer in the broth to add a slight heat, but are strained out and removed before making a soup. This broth can be made into an easy chicken noodle soup (posted on my blog, www.lechefskitchen.com) or can be frozen and stored for later use in risottos, soups, and polentas.
Salmon traybake with orzo and chermoula
I love an all-in-one orzo, and this version with my favourite salmon and broccoli combination is an easy weeknight win. The chermoula is an amazing, herb-packed accompaniment to the salmon and broccoli, giving a punchy hit of flavour with fresh herbs and a few store cupboard ingredients.
