Pork fillet can be a bit of a tricky one- overcook it and you're left with something resembling shoe leather. But in the air fryer it’s a game-changer. This Blackened Citrus Pork Bowl is a revelation, with the pork coming out tender, juicy, and packed with smoky, zesty flavour. Paired with a fresh salsa verde and piled onto rice or greens, it’s the kind of meal that feels fancy but takes next to no effort. And that’s exactly what I need after a long day of parenting chaos.

Serves: 4
Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pork loin fillet, cut in half
  • 4 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 peppers
  • 1 red onion
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tin puy lentils
  • 1 x 400g tin borlotti beans
  • 1 orange

 

  • For the salsa verde:
  • Handful of flat leaf parsley
  • Handful of coriander, plus a little extra for garnish
  • Handful of mint
  • 2 tbsp pickled jalapenos
  • 50g pistachios, shelled
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Zest of ½ an orange
  • Zest of a lime
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Mix together fajita seasoning, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Place the pork fillet on a plate and roll in the seasoning until it's completely covered.
  2. Place into the air fryer and cook at 200°C for 5 minutes then turn down to 160°C and cook for a further 12 - 15 minutes.
  3. During the first 5 minutes of the cook, slice the peppers and place into a bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt and 1 tsp of the fajita spice mix and toss everything together to coat. When you turn the temperature down, place the peppers into the air fryer basket.
  4. Whilst the pork cooks, thinly slice the red onion and mix with the lime juice and a good pinch of salt- really massage the liquid into the red onion. Leave to quickly pickle
  5. Next, prepare the accompaniments. Chop all the ingredients for the salsa verde together on a board then place into a bowl and add the olive oil, drizzling in a steady stream as you stir to combine everything. Zest in the orange and season with the lime juice, adding it to taste.
  6. The pork should be done by now so remove the pork and peppers, placing them into a bowl to rest whilst you bring everything together.
  7. Make the salad, add the puy lentils to a large bowl. Drain the tin of beans and add to the same bowl.  Add ½ of the salsa verde, the juice of ½ an orange, some of the pickled onions and a good pinch of salt and pepper and mix everything together well.
  8. Finally, slice the pork into 1cm pieces and scoop the bean salad onto a platter, then top with the peppers. Add the sliced pork, then drape over the quick pickled onions and drizzle over the rest of the salsa verde. Garnish with coriander leaves.

if you think a good burger needs to be fried in a pan with oil splattering everywhere, think again. These Air-Fried Cajun Chicken Burgers deliver all the juicy, spicy goodness you want- without the mess. The trick is using bashed cornflakes in place of breadcrumbs for their crispiness. The air fryer locks in moisture while crisping up the perfectly seasoned coating, making them ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend treat. Slap on a generous dollop of spicy mayo, pile it into a toasted bun, and suddenly, you’re wondering why you didn’t embrace this gadget sooner. Our kids devour them!

Wings are my weakness, and I was convinced the air fryer wouldn’t do them justice. I was wrong. These Korean-inspired wings come out crispy, sticky, and packed with that addictive sweet-salty heat- no deep fryer needed. Tossed in a luscious glaze and served with a punchy kimchi slaw, they’re the perfect mix of crunch and zing.

Chocolate Lava Cake is more of a pudding if I’m honest, it’s rich, indulgent, and has that perfect molten center that oozes out when you dig in. The best part is that you can make the batter ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when you’re ready, meaning you can focus on enjoying your evening instead of fussing over dessert. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got a foolproof Valentine’s Day winner.

If you’re going big this Valentine’s, Côte De Boeuf is the way to do it. For the uninitiated, it’s basically a fancy ribeye on the bone- thick, juicy, and packed with flavour. It’s proper celebration food, and the cut of choice on many restaurant menus these days. Pair it with Pommes Aligot (think mashed potatoes, but cheesier and silkier) and some green beans, and you’ve got yourself a restaurant-worthy meal without leaving the house. Light a candle or two, and you’re practically in Paris!
