One-pan recipes

One pan, one hob and very little washing up. Most of these take ten minutes from start to plate, because they start from quick-cooking or ready-cooked protein: prawns, thin steak, eggs, tofu, halloumi or rotisserie chicken.

The times count the chopping, so they are times an ordinary cook can keep. Where a shortcut makes the difference, such as ready-spiralised courgette or frozen spinach portions, the recipe says so.
