Creamy white beans with tahini, oregano and cumin This rich and creamy dish is packed full of nutrition and delivers a luxurious eating experience without the heaviness and saturated fat of double cream. The tahini paste is a protein and calcium rich ingredient that creates an indulgent texture and carries the herb and spice flavour wonderfully. Beautiful with butter beans but haricot beans, chickpeas and cannellini would work just as well. MethodHeat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat.

by Sarah RossiThis super-simple pulled chicken burger will become a firm family favourite! They're served with sweet potato wedges for a decent dose of fibre that the kids will love. This recipe is part of a budget family batch cook meal plan. It is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard. If you are cooking it independent of the meal plan, you will only need a third of the chicken. The remaining chicken is used in a stir fry and a chicken chilli.

This simple chicken curry uses a tin of tomato soup as a shortcut to create a creamy, mild and slightly sweet curry sauce, not dissimilar to tikka masala. Great served with pilau rice or naan bread.

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium–high heat. Place the chicken in the pot, breast-side up. Using tongs, press lightly to make sure the skin comes into even contact with the bottom of the pot. This will brown the legs and render any excess fat. If using thighs or legs, sear the pieces skin-side down.

Bring to the boil for 10 minutes and then simmer for 1 hour until the beans are tender but not completely soft. Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear. Add the rice to the pan and stir to mix with the beans.
