*Easy*

Frozen peas 1 cupful
Onion 1, chopped
Oil
Feta 1/2 a block, cut into cubes
Tarragon a small bunch, chopped
Eggs 3, lightly beaten
Salad leaves and sourdough toast to serve

Cook the peas in simmering water for 3 minutes or until tender, drain. Meanwhile, fry the onion in a little oil in a small frying pan until tender, season. Add the peas, feta and tarragon and quickly pour the eggs over. Cook for a couple of minutes until the underside is set. Grill the top until it is set, then cut into 2 and slide onto plates. Serve with salad and toast. Serves 2


Brilliant wine match
M&S Gold Label Chardonnay 2005 (£5.49) is an ideal mid-week glugger to keep in the fridge till the tortilla moment strikes.

Gi assessment The acidity of the sourdough helps to slow a rise in blood glucose and the fibrous skin of the peas takes time to be broken down, lowering the Gi of the meal.

Chicken with garlic and lemon

15 minutes
*Easy*

skinless chicken breast fillets 2
Garlic 1 clove, crushed
Thyme leaves from 2 sprigs
Olive oil
Lemon 11/2, 1 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges
Crusty bread 2 slices, toasted
Rocket to serve


Brilliant wine match
Gaia Notios White 2005 (£7.19, Oddbins) from the Peloponnese will bring back happy memories of sunny Greek holidays.


Make a deep cut into one side of each chicken breast and open it out like a book. Put a layer of clingfilm on top, then press down to flatten them further. Mix the garlic and thyme leaves with 2 tsp olive oil and spread over the chicken. Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through (you shouldn't need any more oil). Pour over the lemon juice and season well. Put each chicken breast on a slice of toast and top with the rocket. Serve with a lemon wedge and drizzle over any pan juices. Serves 2
