Lamb Achari Curry
I used to make this curry with chicken and it was lovely but I really like the extra rich taste that you get from lamb so gave it a go – I sometimes add a bit of lamb mince too for a thicker and more meaty curry! It is really simple if you have all …
Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
It’s January and I am trying to eat a bit better than I did for half of December, to lose a few pounds obviously but also to help keep me healthy as we need all the goodness we can get right now! This started out as a standard stir fry but actually tasted like something …
Five Spice Steak
[10-15 Mins] I have been making this for years after seeing it on a Jamie Oliver cooking show. It was supossed to be a boring tea night tonight.. meat, veg, spuds but I couldn’t do it to myself – I wanted flavour! PS – Have you noticed you dont need to scroll down through 5 …
Pork Fillet stuffed with roasted Squash, Chorizo and Pistachio.
This week I decided to see if I could do better than the Masterchef contestants by using the ingredients they were given to create a dish with no recipe in an hour. This is what I came up with using the main ingredients of – Pork fillet, Butternut squash and Kale. Obviously you are allowed …
Chicken with Tomatoes and Capers
I have to share this one for many reasons, firstly and most importantly, it is REALLY tasty. It is also very easy, cheap, low carb and low calorie. You could make this as a pasta dish if you wanted to bulk it up a bit or serve with some garlic bread but I was trying …
Ribollita Soup
Came across a few recipes for this Tuscan soup recently so made my own take on it – It was beautiful and something I will definately make again soon. Great mid week meal or winter warmer! If you wanted to make a vegetarian version of this just leave out the pancetta, use vegetable stock and …
Chicken Curry with Black Pepper
Another week another curry! I just can’t get enough. This is really simple and effective and uses things you probably already have in your cupboards so can be rustled up easily for a midweek meal. I used chicken thighs on the bone for this but you could use them without the bone if you …
Cauliflower, Pomegranate and Pistachio salad
Another healthy one I am afraid! A good lunchbox filler though if you like cauliflower and don’t like eating sandwiches every day! This recipe is from “Simple” by Otteolenghi – you may have noticed that it’s my new fave book – my next one is also from there…. Some fattening food soon though I promise!! …
Baked Aubergine with Preserved Lemon and Yoghurt.
I know I know.. another Aubergine dish! But I do love them! Another one from Olive magazine with a few tweaks that I felt it needed. This is great served as a lunch or a side dish. The recipe in the magazine uses a few strands of saffron to colour the yoghurt but I personally …
Chicken and Aubergine Stew with Capers and Pine Nuts
Jamie Oliver has a new show, pitched just before winter so his book can come out for Christmas probably! ( Cynical I know..) I fast forwarded through all his chat and making up of stupid words and sounds ( He takes onomatopoeia to a whole new level.) then, right at the end saw …
