There’s nothing worse than cooking up a delicious meal and then having a mountain of dishes, pots and pans to clean up afterwards.
Behold, the one-pot dishes – recipes and meals that can be cooking away without the need to keep a constant eye on them and worrying about the flavour (plus you’ll have minimal plates and pots to clear).
Here are 10 of the tastiest one-pot wonders:

Rustic French dish cassoulet is an absolute treat if you’re looking for a meal to fill you up with amazing flavours that includes succulent chicken, sausages and pork. Check out Raymond Blanc’s recipe for cassoulet here.
