Serve this chicken with this instant pot coconut rice, cauliflower rice or with some creamy garlic mashed potatoes with a drizzle of the pan sauce. Heaven! Cilantro Lime Chicken Thighs Recipe Am I partial to chicken thighs, Yes!!! What is not to love about this cut of meat, it is flavourful, juicy and more affordable than chicken breast. In my opinion, I think that part of chicken cut is overrated....
For a healthier version with no mayo, make this Cole slaw with a Creamy Yogurt Coleslaw Dressing (it’s so good!) OR try the RecipeTin No Mayo Coleslaw. A great Coleslaw doesn’t need a ton of ingredients. All you need is cabbage, carrot and a terrific Coleslaw dressing for this summertime classic. Along with Macaroni Salad and Caprese Salad, this is the salad we take to gatherings, that we lay out on buffets – because we know it’s a sure thing!...
Meet my secret, eat-it-all-to-myself soup made with the leftovers from yesterday’s roast chicken dinner. I don’t share any of this soup. In fact no-one in my family even knows it exists. Whilst everyone’s at school or work, I cackle quietly to myself as I’m lacing it with golden, fried mushrooms - knowing that I’m the only lover of mushrooms in our family. The mushroom witch, that’s me. I get it from my mum (the mushroom loving bit, not the witch bit)....
As long as you have canned salmon and eggs, you can whip them up anytime. The remaining ingredients are very flexible. I find that canned fish is one of the easiest ways to incorporate more seafood into my family’s diet. It’s accessible, affordable, and it keeps in the pantry for a long time. I make these tasty salmon cakes about once a week. They are very easy to make, they taste great, and - just as important - I always have the basic ingredients on hand and can improvise on the rest....
It is quick, simple to make, and no marination is needed. Enjoy these easy oven-baked drumsticks with another side dish of choice, serve it with this creamy pasta salad, sauteed peas or watermelon feta salad. All you need to make these easy-baked chicken drumsticks are a handful of pantry staple spices. This chicken drumstick doesn’t require marinating. All you need do is gather the 5 core ingredients together, mix and rub it on the chicken then bake in the oven....
One-pan cooking doesn’t have to be all about same-coloured food that spends all day in the slow cooker. Whilst I am a huge fan of coming home to a meltingly tender pork ragu or spicy chicken curry, sometimes we’re out too early to start something cooking, and home too late and don’t have a lot of time, but still want a delicious meal. It’s those days when you need a meal like this....
We’ve got loads of curries on our site (madras, jalfrezi, dhansak, Chicken Tikka Masala, Rogan Josh, etc), but what about a simple, easy chicken curry? A quick curry that you want to whip up, without using ready-made pastes or sauces? This is the one for you. It uses a regular mild curry powder, but we also use a few additional spices and aromatics as well as creamy coconut milk for a totally moreish curry that the adults and kids will love....
Salmon is one of my favourite fish to cook and I can proudly say I make the best pan-seared salmon ever. If this is not one of the easiest salmon recipes to cook, I don’t know what else! I know many people worry or shy away from frying salmon but don’t, it is very easy to achieve without breaking the fish. I will walk you through how to cook salmon in a bit....
Homemade Pumpkin Gnocchi The first gnocchi I ever made turned out black. Wait – not even black. If it was black, you might get away with claiming that it’s exotic, or coloured with squid ink. Mine were grey. I had slaved over them for hours. Made the classic way using mashed potato, I painstakingly followed every step in the lengthy recipe. I could envisage how impressed my family would be when I serenely placed the gnocchi in front of them, how they would praise me and exclaim how perfectly pillowy they were....
This is the first of a 3 part Spanish Feast Special series that I’m sharing this week – complete with Spanish Wine pairings! Hola! Who loves Spanish Food?? Me, me, me!! Spanish food is made for gatherings. Tables laden with rustic food for sharing – no fussy giant white plates with a tiny portion of fancy food with names I can’t pronounce, garnished with tiny herbs and assembled using tweezers....
Fettucine Alfredo I triple checked the nutrition analysis because I couldn’t believe my eyes when it came out with only 420 calories for a good size serving of this pasta. I have it in my head that Alfredo is so bad for you because it’s made with cream. Sure, there’s a high fat content. But the calories are a lot less than I expected. A LOT less. Maybe because this is a recipe that uses the classic Italian method of emulsifying the pasta (which is the magic that happens when you briefly cook the sauce with the pasta + some pasta water)....
This garlic parmesan orzo with spinach recipe is legit going to be on rotation in your household, and if you are yet to try orzo pasta aka pasta rice, now is the time. With only a handful of pantry and fridge staple ingredients, your meatless dinner is ready before you can say parmesan orzo. I love pasta recipes that are simple and straightforward to make like this Boursin pasta, creamy chicken cajun pasta, or this pink sauce pasta....
Like Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops, these lamb chops are marinated which tenderises the chops and infuses with flavour. It’s also ideal to pop the marinated meat into the freezer! I will shamelessly use any shortcut I can find – so long as it doesn’t compromise on flavour or mean store bought things like dressings. This plate of Greek deliciousness is pulled together using 2 nifty shortcuts: The cucumber and tomatoes are plated up in larger pieces so there’s less chopping....
If you’re feeling inspired, indulge in a Thai banquet with this Thai Chicken complete with Coconut Rice or Coconut Lime Rice, a starter of Thai Lettuce Wraps and how about a Thai Red Curry or Green Curry? Traditional Thai Chicken The marinade for this chicken is insane. It really is. The flavour is so good and I honestly think you’ll regret it if you don’t make a double batch. Because I promise, you will eat more than your fair share....
Hazelnut Olive Oil Cake This is actually the Lemon Olive Oil cake from a delightful cookbook called “Just Desserts” by Charlotte Ree. I’ve taken the liberty of renaming it because I enjoy the hazelnut flavour in it so much, I wanted to headline it – so I did! Usually with olive oil cakes, the olive oil is the dominant flavour. Recipes also typically encourage you to use very good olive oil (read: expensive!...
Simple to make, this recipe is sure to become a favourite you’ll make over and over again! Cream of Chicken Soup recipe Growing up, I was “deprived” of canned soup. And such is the case when you’re a kid that you always want what you can’t have. I got sent to school with bento boxes and eyed off my friends’ peanut butter sandwiches with jealousy. I looked forward to sleepovers, not only because of the excitement of staying at a friends’ place, but because I got to try food that my mother would never make....
Fresh eggs are also better for poaching because they have tighter whites so they poach neatly. But how can you tell how fresh your egg is before you even crack it? Here’s a quick tip: Simply put the egg in a glass of water and watch how it floats: Eggs start to degrade in quality the moment they are laid by chickens. This is because egg shells are porous and over time an egg will absorb air....
Bonus: I’m also sharing my fast biscuit icing method to cover the entire surface of a cookie quickly and easily, without piping! Icing for biscuits This is the icing recipe for the Christmas Cookies I just shared. The recipe got too lengthy so I decided to split it into two – and also, this is an all purpose icing recipe that is ideal to use for any cookies and biscuits, not just for the Christmas Cookies!...
I make it in the food processor. Topped with keto whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder, it’s such a wonderful treat. This mousse is wonderful. It’s very creamy, it has a good chocolate flavor, and it’s not too sweet. Happily, it’s also very easy to make. You simply add your ingredients to the food processor and process for one minute. That’s it! Admittedly, it’s a departure from classic mousse recipes, which typically contain melted chocolate, eggs, heavy cream, and sugar....
