The January transfer window is officially open, and Simmer has wasted no time in making a marquee signing.
Crystal Palace and England star Marc Guéhi has linked up with the family-run meal prep brand to launch his very own dish.
However, before the central defender agreed to put his name to the meal, he threw down a tough challenge to Simmer co-founder Simmy Dhillon.
Guéhi, who’s currently wanted by a host of England’s top clubs, said it had to live up to his mum’s cooking.
With the help of his own mum, whose recipes laid the foundations for the brand, Dhillon set about nailing the brief while documenting the journey.
After various taste tests and rounds of feedback, Simmer finally delivered a dish that hit the back of the net with Guéhi’s approval.
Marc Guéhi’s Chicken & Cashew Nut Stew with Jollof Rice is now available for anyone who wants to fuel up like a pro.
The dish combines chicken breast, simmered in a rich West African-inspired sauce made with creamy cashew nuts, aromatic spices, and caramelised onions and peppers.
Served with slow-cooked jollof rice in a seasoned tomato base and finished with spicy sautéed kale, onions, corn, and colourful peppers, it delivers a fragrant kick Guéhi himself would be proud of.
“Growing up, my family’s cooking was all about bold flavours and bringing people together around the table,” said Guéhi.
“This dish reminds me of home — it’s comforting, packed with goodness, and gives me the energy I need to perform at the highest level.
“With Simmer, I can enjoy meals like this without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s proper food that supports my game.”
