#  One Ingredient, Three Meals  


Marmite can add depth of flavour to an array of different dishes, says food columnist and SL contributor Chloe Scott-Moncrieff. Whether it’s for a midweek meal or a nourishing dinner, here are three easy ways to work with this culinary hero.

##  Honey &amp; Marmite Baked Chicken Thighs &amp; Hasselback Potatoes 

 

Serves

 Serves 4 

 



Difficulty

 Easy 

 



Total Time

 30 Minutes 

 



Meal Type

 Mains 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    4 boneless chicken thighs  

   700g of new or Charlotte potatoes  

   3 peppers, sliced into chunks  

 



  

 For the marinade:  


   1 tbsp of Marmite  

   1 tbsp of honey  

   Juice and zest of 1 lemon  

   2 tbsp olive or veg oil  

   2 garlic cloves, finely chopped  

   1 handful of fresh tarragon, rosemary or thyme leaves, finely chopped  

   Salt and black pepper  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and season with black pepper and a pinch of salt. Rub it into the chicken thighs in a bowl and set aside.



 Step 2 

Place some oil in a roasting tin. Put it in the oven to heat the oil. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes two thirds of the way down all the way across so you’ve a row of 2mm thin incisions. The more slices made evenly across, the quicker they will roast.



 Step 3 

Remove the tin from the oven, toss the potatoes in the hot oil, season and return to the oven. Roast for 15 minutes.



 Step 4 

Add the chicken and pepper pieces to the tray. Roast for a further 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

##  30-Minute Wild Mushroom &amp; Bulgur Wheat Risotto (V) 

 

Serves

 Serves 4 

 



Difficulty

 Easy 

 



Total Time

 30 Minutes 

 



Meal Type

 Mains 

 



 

 

Ingredients

    200g of chestnut mushrooms, chopped  

   250g of porcini, Forestier or shiitake mushrooms, chopped  

   1 onion, finely chopped  

   40g of butter  

   1 tbsp of Marmite  

   250g of bulgur wheat  

   750ml-1l of vegetable stock  

   Parmesan  

   Thyme or parsley (optional)

Place a quarter of the butter into a large heavy based casserole pot and melt over a low heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté. Once bubbling, throw in the mushrooms. Stir through the bulgur wheat and sizzle for a few minutes.



 Step 2 

Gradually add the stock and include 1 tbsp of Marmite. Once the stock is absorbed after about 20 minutes, the wheat should be cooked. Taste and add a bit more liquid if needed. Season again if you wish.



 Step 3 

Sprinkle in the Parmesan and remaining butter, stir well.



 Step 4 

Sprinkle any herbs you might want to include. Eat immediately.
