Cavolo nero, sausage, cherry tomato and cannellini bean soup
This is sort of a soup, sort of a stew, not a million miles away from my chicken and white bean stew recipe. It is wonderful and hearty from the beans, sausage and the veg, but the broth is relatively light and the tomatoes provide a nice tang along with a hint of lemon and fennel.
Halloumi and roasted tenderstem broccoli with cherry tomatoes
An easy to make warm salad that can be ready in less than half an hour. The halloumi makes this salad feel quite substantial and enough for a main, especially along with some nice bread.
