Shakshuka, the Middle-Eastern delight, where eggs are poached in a tomato-based dish, has been taken to the next level in this recipe by the addition of courgetti – which took the world by storm from dieters, low-carbers and those gluten-intolerant folks looking for a healthy alternative to spaghetti. Thankfully, there is no need for a spiralizer, as most supermarkets sell them ready-made these days (which is pretty eggciting), so all you need to do is follow this super-simple, low-calorie recipe and you will be Middle-Feasting on this perfect meat-free Monday supper in no time at all.

What makes these vegan cookies even more apeeling is that they require no baking time, limiting the flop factor which can intimidate so many novice bakers. They are not only high in fibre and without refined white sugar, but they also include the beneficial qualities of coconut oil and the (very on-trend) chia seeds. Smashed out in ten minutes and placed in the fridge until set, you can chill out at the same time, knowing they will turn out fab! No bake, no problem!

Slow cookers are so great for those times when you want a fuss-free dinner, you can literally throw everything in it and leave it all day so you have a lovely wholesome meal waiting for you at tea time. We left this stew in the slow cooker for 8 hours on a low heat but if you want it ready bit sooner than that you can turn the heat up to medium and it should be ready in about 4 hours.
