Smoked Haddock and Leek Arancini with Tomato Sauce and Crispy Capers
This is such a good way to use up leftover rice. I made the risotto myself as I couldn’t wait to try this out. I got the idea from a tapas restaurant we went to, one of the dishes we ordered was the cod arancini they were delicious but I thought the cod got lost…
Fake Away Friday Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork
I love all the crispy Chinese dishes such as crispy chilli beef, crispy duck and pancakes, pancake rolls, sweet and sour king prawn and the list goes on. We have a new butchers that has opened in our town so we went to check it out and I noticed they had some pork stir fry…
Oozy Mozzarella Stuffed Rosemary, Sage and Kale Meatballs on a Tomato and Pasta Bake
These melt in the middle herby meatballs are delicious. As a whole dish it has lots of veggies and has all those comforting flavours you want in a pasta dish. It’s nice the meatballs are baked rather than fried as all the juices and flavours go into the pasta and tomatoes. It does take a…
Spiced Duck Breast with a Soy Sauce, Honey and Ginger Sauce
Happy new year let’s hope 2019 is good to us. Over Christmas I really did eat what I wanted so I’m ready for some healthy food. I had an urge for some Asian flavours but something really simple. This duck dish worked perfectly with the spiced crispy skin. I had broccoli with mine which worked…
Juicy Cod on Lentils with a Red Wine Sauce
I have seen fish with a red wine sauce and lentils when we’ve been holiday in France. I don’t think you can get more french than lentils and wine so I thought I would give it ago myself. Cod works so well in the dish as it is chunky and meaty. This dish is so…
Twice Cooked Sticky and Tender Chinese Pork Belly
What’s not to like about this recipe, soft tender pork meat it’s caramelised crispy fat bits and a delicious sauce that the rice can soak up. I’m not keen on the chewy skin on pork belly in Chinese recipes as it isn’t cooked like crispy crackling. Removing it still leaves a fat layer that you…
Homemade Tomato Sauce and Cheese Nachos
As the summer was late and hot this year I still have some tomatoes left. They aren’t as sweet as they are in the height of summer so cooking them is a good idea. I had some tortilla wraps left over from my work lunches so decided to have a go at my my own…
Pan Fried Sea Bass with Cherry Tomato, Wine and Thyme Sauce
Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
John Dory Fillets with a Caper and Lemon Sauce and Stir Fried Kale with Pancetta
I love going to the fishmonger and buying local fish as your not sure what you are going to get or what is in season. So on this visit they had some stunning John Dory. It is quite a distinctive looking fish with its sail fins and black dot (I’m sure there is a religious…
Gammon Steaks with Leek and Celeriac Mash and Apple Sauce
When we had a buy up from the Devon butcher he had some delicious gammon steaks that I couldn’t resist. I forgot how much I like gammon steaks and haven’t had them for years. They are such a pub classic that I didn’t want to go down the egg and chip route so I searched…
Wild Duck Breast with Orange Braised Chicory and a Spiced Sauce
I am so into the wild duck at the moment, it is full of flavour and so tender. I love five spice duck so thought I would make a spiced sauce to go with it, my gosh it was tasty. It went so well with the orangey soft braised chicory. Each flavour works in harmony…
Seared Lemon Sole with a Lime, Chilli and Thai Basil Sauce Recipe
We love flat fish and sole is one of my favourites. We like to eat lemon or megrim sole as it really keeps the price down and they are just as delicious as dover sole. We tend to go down the route of french sauces with fish but I came across a similar recipe to…
Crispy Duck Breast with a Cider, Mustard and Orange Sauce Recipe
Nothing beats a crispy skin duck breast. We usually have five spice duck breast and fancied something different. The classic combination or duck and orange works well in this dish with added flavour of mustard and cider. We love sauce so even though my recipe serves 2 the sauce serves 4, crushing the new potatoes…
Pork Chops in a Mushroom, Honey and Mustard Sauce with Tenderstem Broccoli and Jersey Royals Recipe
I love a pork chop and trying new recipes. As mushrooms are available all the time now and go so well with pork. In my green grocers they has some mixed mushrooms which was really nice for a change, my favourite will always be chestnut mushrooms as they are meaty and earthy. The honey in…
