We’ve officially hit peak “what’s for dinner?” fatigue. The average Brit now spends just 31 minutes making their evening meal – which, let’s be honest, is roughly how long it takes to realise there’s nothing in the fridge, panic-scroll for a recipe and then give up and eat toast.

It’s a kale-laced chilli you can batch now and freeze for later. This kind of dish that make it look like you’ve got your life together – even when you absolutely do not.
