We're getting into the months of constant eating and drinking, which is obviously acceptable because it's Christmas, but we obviously know that because of that when January comes around, it's the time of healthy eating, so I thought I'd share a Pinch of Nom recipe with you which mean you can have your indulgent Doner Kebab, while still eating healthy.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

Low-calorie cooking spray

500g 5%-fat minced beef

1/2 tsp onion granules

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp garlic granules

1/4 tsp smoked sweet paprika

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried mixed herbs

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

pinch of freshly ground pepper

To Serve:

Brown pitta bread

Green salad

Low-fat natural yoghurt mixed with mint sauce

This can be cooked 3 different ways, but the method I will be sharing with you is the Oven Method.

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas Mark 4.

Next spray a 900g non-stick loaf tin with a little low-calorie cooking spray.

Place the minced beef, onion granules, ground cumin, garlic granules, smoked sweet paprika, ground coriander, dried oregano, mixed herbs, cayenne pepper and the salt and pepper into a blender, food processor or bowl and blitz the mixture until fairly smooth. I put all my ingredients into a bowl and used an hand-held blender.

Remove the mixture and place it into the loaf tin, pressing it down into the corners firmly.

Cover the tin with foil and cook in the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes.

Once removed from the oven, leave to rest for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the tin, and slice thinly.

Once sliced, you're ready to serve, I had mine with pitta bread, salad and some yoghurt.

I really enjoyed this, it was full of flavour and was a nice fakeaway treat, the beef and the dip together were really nice. Along with the salad, I thought this dish was really refreshing and will happily make it again in the new year, to get back into healthy eating again.

It was really easy and simple to make, so definitely a dish that's easy for anyone who is a novice in the kitchen.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!

Cook restaurant quality meals!

Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First from this box I cooked the Chilli Glazed Sausages. In this kit you get Paprika Colcannon Mix, Bacon Chilli Glaze and Smoky Date Sauce.

Heat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6.

Get prepped.

Boil your potatoes and cook your sausages.

Meanwhile, fry the cabbage.

Glaze the sausages.

Finishing touches.

Mix the Smoky Date Sauce with 2tsp of water to loosen.

Serve!

Plain mash with just butter and milk is definitely for me, I wasn't really fussed with it mixed with the cabbage or the spring onions. I couldn't really decide whether I liked the chilli glazed sausages, but I know Skye wasn't a fan of either the mash or the sausages, so I don't think this will be one of the dishes we have again.

Next from this box I cooked the Lamb Kofta Flatbreads. In this kit you get Kofta Seasoning, Pomegranate Molasses and Cacik Paste.

Heat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6.

Season and shape the mince.

Fry the Koftas.

Drizzle with the Pomegranate Molasses.

Prepare the breads and sides.

Serve!

I thought this was really nice, I thought thought the flavourings were really nice and I especially loved the dip. Skye on the other hand wasn't a fan, she found them to be too spicy for her.

Normally there would be another 2 dishes that I would share with you but I didn't take any pictures, I must have thought I'd already done that as I have done those 2 dishes a few times now, I do have one of the dishes coming in another box so I will be able to share it in a later post and I will be doing the same with the other dish too.

Now let me get to the business side of the Simply Cook boxes, each box comes with 4 recipe kits which include 3 pots of sauces, herb, stock etc, as well as 4 step-by-step recipe cards, that contain the full list of ingredients you'll need, and alternatives etc.

You can choose which dishes you would like in your box, or you can leave it to the Simply Cook gang and let them randomly pick your dishes to enjoy. You can set your preferences whether you're wanting something mild to spicy, something family friendly, there's recipes from all around the world.

You can choose how often you would like your boxes, whether that would be weekly, fortnightly, or even every 4 weeks. You can also change, pause or even cancel your subscription at any time.

Each box is £9.99, with your first box being a trial price of £3 and each box has free delivery.

If you are interested in making your own Simply Cook subscription, then head over to the Simply Cook website, to check out more details as well as their big catalogue of dishes to make.

Here is a code to help you on your way and to get you your first box free:
