Transfer the dish to the oven and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.

Dr Rupy Aujla: The Doctor's Kitchen. Dr Rupy is an NHS GP who has a love for food and the health benefits that eating well can provide. His recipes are healthy, quick and delicious and partner very well with our similarly healthy green veg - Tenderstem® broccoli.
In his first book, The Doctor’s Kitchen, Dr Rupy explains the science underpinning the benefits of healthy eating and how largely plant based ‘colourful’ diets are the healthiest. He also explains why gut health is important and how you can make important changes to your diet and lifestyle.
In his second book, Eat to Beat Illness, Dr Rupy takes a more focused approach on how we can eat and live to reduce the risk of brain disease, cardiovascular problems, inflammation imbalance and many more illnesses that he has come across during his career as a doctor.
We are delighted to be teaming up with Dr Rupy who has created three new recipes, perfect for light lunches at home or mid-week meals. Each recipe features delicious flavours from around the world and, of course, his favourite veggie: Tenderstem® broccoli. What’s more, each recipe is a healthy option for a mid-week meal – all three recipes are under 500 calories per serving, as well as being low in saturated fat and a source of fibre.
