Split Red Lentil Curry Spiced Dal with Saffron Recipe
Meatless Monday – So for our meatless monday I thought I would have a go at making a couple of dal’s. We have had lentils and mung beans in the cupboard for ages and Paulie cleared out his spice cupboard yesterday so I thought I would use it and put things back in the wrong…
Prawn Noodle and Vegetable Salad with an Asian Peanut Dressing Recipe
This salad is so colourful and tasty! If you read my last lunch post you will know that I had half a cabbage to use up so I thought we would have an asian salad as we bought some reduced prawns and sprouts from the supermarket. Paul loved this dish but that’s not surprising as…
Pan Fried Gurnard Fillets with Olive Oil, Caper, Tomato and Basil Sauce Recipe
We love to try the cheaper local fish and gurnard is one of them. I also think they are rather pretty with their red skin and whiskers. They are slightly thicker than a seabass fillet so need to be cooked evenly on both sides rather than mainly on skin side down like seabass. Its flavour…
Healthy Chicken Caesar Style Salad Recipe
Why is it healthy? A few reasons, firstly this recipe uses rapeseed oil to make the mayo, secondly the chicken and croutons are baked in the oven and not fried and finally it is completely egg free which makes it much lighter. We really enjoyed this salad and I would make it again for sure….
Moroccan Spiced Fresh Couscous with Chickpea and Chorizo Recipe
As we have had a lovely heatwave here in the UK, bar b ques and light lunches are on the go. This dish can be used as a whole lunch or a side for main dinner. The spices add a gorgeous flavour to the couscous and changed the colour to a nice orangey tint due…
Soya and Cannellini Bean Salad with Salami and Mint Recipe
Frozen Soya Beans are so handy to have to add to salads. Unlike broad beans you don’t have to worry about peeling off the shells. We also always keep tinned pulses in the cupboard as well. The mint was from our garden and the salami was left overs too. This salad is crunchy fresh and…
Beef, Broccoli and Spinach Stir Fry with a Honey and Pepper Sauce Recipe
For a fantastic quick, easy and healthy one pan dinner, try this stir fried beef. We love to use sirloin as our stir fry cut of beef and always tenderise in a sauce or cornflour before cooking for at least 20 minutes. The result is beautiful, succulent, juicy meat. The sauce is quite a popular…
Rosemary and Parmesan Croutons on a Coppa Ham, Rocket and Tomato Salad with a Drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar Recipe
Got some leftover stale bread? Make your own crouton’s. The texture of these crunchy little morsels are so much nicer and so much less greasy than the shop kind. It is so good knowing I used all of my wholemeal bread (recipe here) with no wastage. The Coppa Ham melted in my mouth but that…
Puy Lentil, Pickled Carrot and Chorizo Salad with a Wholegrain Mustard Dressing Recipe
Get ready for the week ahead with a nice healthy fibrous salad. I can’t rave about pickled carrots enough, they have lasted weeks and the flavour gets a little more spicy from the ginger and garlic the longer they pickle. I love lentils and the health benefits you get from them, but they do need…
Roasted Eggplant/Aubergine and Spinach Salad with a Feta, Olive, Lemon and Herb Dressing
This is so tasty and so healthy. We had forgotten to by some salad leaves and had some spinach, feta and a lemon left over from a previous recipes and we have some staples in the cupboard such as jarred olives, olive oil and balsamic. The herbs were from my windowsill and garden, mix all…
Prosciutto Wrapped Pesto Chicken Breast on a Bed of Courgette’s and Tomatoes Recipe
It’s Monday so back to healthy dinners again. This one pot tray bake is easy but really tasty. The pesto and chicken juices flavour the courgettes and tomatoes beautifully and the roasted vine tomatoes are sweet and delicious. Sometimes simple is best and this was one of the first recipe’s Paulie made me and has…
Grilled Scottish Langoustines with Lemon and Pepper Butter Recipe
So if you saw my last post you know that we treated ourselves to some scrummy shellfish. So alongside our oysters we also had these langoustines. They were scrummy and didn’t last long but we agreed it might not be worth all the aggravation regards preparing them, it is a lot more time consuming than…
Crushed Broad Bean, Feta and Mint Dip Recipe
We have a lovely local pub called the coach and horses near danehill, it has a beautiful garden and really good food. Opposite the pub car park there is a cottage that sells their excess flowers, eggs and vegetables in a little hut. I get so excited to see what they have in the past…
Halloumi, Roasted Beetroot and Rocket with a Lemon and Thyme Vinaigrette Recipe
One Friday evening I had dinner and stayed over at my friend’s, Jess. She has the most amazing eye for design detail inside and outside in her garden, its looks like a magazine without the coldness as it still feels welcoming and homely. Lucky for me she sent me on my way in the morning…
