Summer Bean & Eggplant Salad

3 soft tortillas

It’s weird and I don’t know why it works, but soft-cooked eggs on squished avocado just tastes so damned good.

Roasted Chicken Nibbles with Yellow & Red Peppers

You know the saying ‘A watched pot never boils.’? Add another saying to the list: ‘An unstirred dish of chicken nibbles, potatoes and peppers will burn.’ Apart from that, this dish is a doddle.
