- Making meatballs for dinner? Rather than start from scratch, buy some high-quality sausages, remove the skins, and make the sausage meat into balls. Dinner is done!
- Use pre-made, frozen or chilled pastry rather than making your own for a recipe – seriously, no one will notice the difference!
- Making something that calls for pesto? Rather than grinding basil and pine nuts together, go for a ready-made sauce. There are some great tasting brands available these days.
- Frozen, chopped onions are great to have in your freezer for when you are short of time. As a bonus there will be no watery eyes, or smelly hands.
- While it’s nice to make your own stock – it can add hours to your meal prep! Grab a high-quality, pre-made stock; your finished meal will be just as tasty, and you’ll have saved yourself so much time.
- Opting for pre-minced or crushed garlic and ginger is another great short cut that won’t affect the taste of your finished dish.
- For a superfast kids’ dinner, just throw a pre-made tomato sauce (just check it’s not loaded with salt and sugar) onto some pasta, sprinkle on some cheese and it’s ready!
- Make frozen, pre-cut veggies your friend! They are probably fresher than some ‘fresh’ vegetables you will find in your supermarket and there’s no waste.
- Rather than hacking away at cabbage and carrots to make coleslaw – use a pre-shredded mix – and then all you have to do is add mayo. Great for a BBQ.
- And for the speediest and easiest dinner of all, buy a ready roast chicken and serve with salad (and your pre-shredded coleslaw!). You can even put it all in a wrap (also ready-made!).
