Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
Now, let's get started!
Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl, then cover the bowl with cling film and pierce a few holes in the top with a fork
Put the bowl in the microwave for 6-9 min or until the potatoes are fork-tender
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once the pan is hot, add the meat-free chick'n to the pan with a pinch of pepper and cook for 6-7 min or until warmed through and starting to brown
Meanwhile, boil half a kettle
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Add your soft cheese and parsley & tarragon pesto to a small bowl and mix until completely combined
Add your vegetable stock mix and half the chopped garlic with 100ml [130ml] [170ml] boiled water and a pinch of pepper and stir it all together – this is your creamy tarragon sauce
Wash your spinach and shake off any excess water and add your blanched peas and spinach to a pot with a lid with a small splash of boiled water
Cook, covered, over a medium-low heat for 2-3 min, stirring halfway, or until the spinach has wilted and the peas are warmed through
Drain and return to the pot with a small knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper, give everything a good mix up and cover to keep warm – these are your greens
Once the meat-free chick'n is starting to brown, reduce the heat to medium, add the creamy tarragon sauce to the pan and give everything a good mix up
Cook for a final 1-3 min or until the sauce has thickened – this is your creamy tarragon meat-free chick'n
Whilst the sauce is cooking, add the remaining chopped garlic, a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper to the cooked potatoes and lightly crush with a fork – these are your crushed potatoes
Serve the creamy tarragon meat-free chick'n with the crushed potatoes and greens to the side
Season with a pinch of pepper
Enjoy!
