Roasted Tomatoes Stuffed with Feta and Basil
I love stuffing vegetables, whether its peppers, courgettes and such like. When I was shopping there were these beautiful juicy tomatoes and I had some feta knocking around in the fridge so bought them. They were delicious. You get the sweetness from the tomato,saltiness from the feta and bite from the spring onion. Ingredients (serves…
Salami and Black Eyed Bean Salad
This is such a good store cupboard and freezer salad. We had a charcuterie platter and there was some salami leftover. I thought I would chuck it into a salad. I always like to keep tinned pulses and jarred herbs in the cupboard as they are so handy. In the freezer I also always have…
Smoked Salmon and Avocado on Crumpets with a Dill and Mustard Dressing
OMG! Why have I never thought of doing savory crumpets before! This was an amazing brunch. I didn’t have any eggs but adding a poached egg would make it perfect! These are one of my favourite combinations smoked salmon, avocado and dill with a tang of mustard. Just yummy! I am gong to have a…
Prawn and Pea Gratin with a Parsley Cheese Sauce and Lemon Breadcrumbs
So this is one of my favourite dinners when my husband is away as he hates parsley sauce but I love it! I grew up with the boil in the bag fish and parsley sauce (or maybe not fish as the shape was rather funky!) This is really nice with smoked haddock as well or…
Leftover Chicken Salad with a Curried Mango Chutney Dressing
When I’ve had a roast chicken on Sunday I always have leftovers as its just me and Paulie (oh and 2 dogs and a cat) I like to spice it up so its different to the traditional flavours. Sometimes I might make a curry or a tagine. This week I was working in the office, so I made…
English Ploughman’s Salad
So I found out today that the first piccalilli recipe dates back to 1694 by Lady Anne Blencowe’s in England. Just shows how good it is as it a firm favourite still. If you grown your own veg its an awesome way to preserve them as it is so versatile. As I was trying to…
Air Fryer Halloumi and Pesto Pasta Salad
Sometimes its nice to keep some salads simple. This is great salad for that. It makes such a good lunchbox salad too. I cooked my halloumi in the air fryer. Which made this even simpler. I used my own pesto which I freeze in ice cube trays but any jarred pesto would work too. Just…
Lentil, Sweetcorn and Bean Chilli
Ive been wanting to make a bean chilli for ages. I don’t think I would ever go back to a meat again! This was absolutely delicious. The best thing is it is all store cupboard ingredients so you can chuck in what you have. I served mine with soft taco’s, cheese and guacamole. It would…
Smoked Salmon, Preserved Lemon and Caper Salad
This salad is delicious, Smokey buttery salmon, salty capers and zingy preserved lemon. I used my pickled radish for the sweetness but to be fair gherkins or cornichons would work just as well. I love preserved lemons I like to keep a jar on the go as they take 4 weeks to-preserve. It is really…
Chicken Tagine with Dates and Honey
Chicken thighs work so well in tagines and curries. This was particularly nice as it tasted really opulent. It was lovely and sweet but also savoury from the spices. I enjoyed every mouthful. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
Air Fryer Zaatar Courgette and Ham Salad
I love all the produce you get in the summer. I think if you eat something when it is actually in season tastes so much better. I really love courgettes as they are so versatile and take on flavours really well. This zaatar works perfectly and I always use red pepper flakes rather than chilli…
Rose Harissa and Preserved Lemon Cod Tagine
Gosh this was yummy, but then I again smoked paprika is one of my addictions along with dried oregano! As its summer I thought fish would be a really nice lighter option though chicken would work really too. I make my own preserved lemons (hence the colour) they last for ages and ages. I think…
Feta Mint and Potato Salad with a Herb Mustard Dressing
As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…
Prawn Cocktail Salad
I don’t think there is anything better than this classic retro dish. It reminds me of my Sunday lunch at my nans. I oddly also had a really good one when I was india. I also think it has to be a crunchy lettuce can of like a Caesar salad. Ingredients (serves 2) Directions
