Posted on
Planning on hibernating for the week? Forget ordering Uber Eats, these comforting recipes will quickly become staples in your winter rotation.
Cheesy Baked Gnocchi
When the most complicated part of the recipe is chopping the vegetables, it’s a winner in our books. Perfect for feeding a family of four (with leftovers), all this recipe needs is gnocchi, tiny tomatoes, semi-dried tomatoes, capsicum, onion and fetta, all chucked into a large baking tray. Feel free to add some extras (like some pitted black olives, and a few handfuls of spinach) and voila! The perfect, filling, winter dinner.
Super Green Goodness Soup
Winter means soup season, and this recipe from Philippa Moss is packed full of dark leafy green vegetables, making it the perfect nourishing dinner or lunch on a frosty winter day. All you need is a chopping board, knives, a spoon, a stick blender and one large pot. Phillippa suggests serving it with a dollop of Greek yogurt, sour cream or crème fraiche and some garlic bread or any buttered toast. Drooling yet?
Baked Potato and Brie
This recipe from Emma Macdonald is everything you want in winter – cheesy, carb-y and downright delicious. Containing an entire round of Brie cheese, this is one potato bake that will be on steady rotation when feeding your family or friends (or just yourself). After all, who can resist wondrous gooeyness like this?
Korean Fried Chicken
Trust us – this Korean Fried Chicken recipe from Anisa Sabet sounds hard but it’s actually ridiculously easy (and delicious) to make. Serving four people, when it comes to eating the chicken, she recommended dunking each piece in the dipping sauce, before garnishing it with sesame seeds and fresh shallots and red chilli. It’ll warm you from the inside, out.
Gluten-Free Chicken and Leek Pie
Have some gluten-free guests coming over? Whip out this gluten-free chicken and leek pie recipe from Grace Minehan and watch their faces light up. Lovely to enjoy on its own, with a classic slaw or with a garden salad, this creamy pie with crisp golden pastry serves six and only takes about 10 minutes to prep and 40 minutes to cook!
