Rhubarb Jam

This is a lovely recipe that I've used from HelloFresh. I do find nowadays that HelloFresh is becoming less reliable in their recipes (with far more frequent mistakes and sometimes a completely different recipe to what the title says) but this is one that we used years ago and saved because we enjoyed it. 

The hash is made up of potato, pepper, onion, and sweetcorn, with the steak plated on top, and the sauce is poured over. You can make it look nice but if you're serving it right you should be drenching it in sauce, which makes it look less impressive. The sauce is made with crème fraiche - in a pinch you can substitute with Greek yogurt (which is what I did this weekend) but it makes the sauce look a bit separated despite not affecting the flavour. It's useful having someone to help you out in the final stages of this recipe, as it can get a little overwhelming cooking the steak as the potatoes are coming out of the oven, and at the same time as the chicken stock is being prepared.

This butternut squash flatbread recipe is one with a fairly long cooking time, but very little prep time. It's super low effort, and is very tasty. The most important tip I can give about this recipe is that you absolutely must get proper flatbreads - it doesn't matter if they're cheap or expensive - instead of trying to use tortilla wraps. The ratio of bread to filling is important, and should not be reduced. The amounts listed below make roughly 6 small flatbreads (or 3 large ones) and therefore serves 2-3 people depending on appetite.
