Saturday

Chickpea Biryani.

A healthy Indian recipe that is well worth the time. It comes to us courtesy of Anjum Anand from the BBC. It’s a great one to prepare on a Saturday afternoon when you have a little more time to spare. Click through for the recipe.

Sunday

Roast lamb (from the Great Australian Cookbook).

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a roast on Sunday. This slashed roast leg of lamb is so full of flavour and if there are leftovers it’s great for a lamb salad (that you can take to work on Monday).
