Ham & Sweet Potato Soup

Ham & Sweet Potato Soup

Here’s an easy, quick, midweek work meal. Ham is one of the most scrumptious, joyous, flavour-filled foods in the world. Make sure you find a passionate butcher and invest in quality free-range or organic nitrate-free ham, which will be browner and not so pink. The taste of this is second to none, and you only need small amounts to bring an immense salty ham flavour to your meals.

Parsnip Potato Paprikash

Whilst a lot of meat dishes appear in the Hungarian diet, there’s always a way to make them plant-based and this variation on the Hungarian Paprikash does just that. Swap out chicken for nourishing root vegetables such as parsnip and potato and add radish for a bit of extra punch.

Seafood Chowder

Say “chow” to this creamy chowder full of delicious flavours and fibre-rich vegies. It’s a spin on the classic Hungarian Fisherman’s Soup, which traditionally uses carp or catfish and is spiced with generous amounts of paprika. It’s the perfect one-pot wonder for mid-week meals.
