By “bit-of-everything”, I mean I threw almost my entire fridge into this skillet. I’m talking carrot, cheeses, courgettes, and even some leftover Mexican mince. This mince mixture was basically ground meat simmered with spices and tomatoes. Leave it out and you’ll still have a perfectly acceptable frittata – or replace…
These aren’t enchiladas in the sense of filling-wrapped tortillas. They’re not even in the proper shape of enchiladas. Instead, think pimped stuffed capsicums. You have your spicy Mexican chicken filling. You have your sweet, roasted capsicum shells. You have your uber-creamy topping of sour cream, cheese, and cream cheese! I…
Trying out a low-carb diet but missing all the fun of pasta? Voila. Cauliflower has a texture similar to carbs like rice and pasta, but is loaded with fibre and Vitamin C. Mushrooms give extra bulk to the bake and make it that much more substantial. To literally top it…
My family recently had a guest from Thailand to stay, Pueng, who was kind enough to teach me a few of her local dishes. Of course, this is nothing close to authentic – rather, it’s Thai-inspired. Nevertheless, it’s a nice way to experience Asian food if you’re keto or just…
This dish sounds simple – and that’s because it is. Nevertheless, simplicity is often best! You may think that means blandness, but I assure you, this is not the case. What’s the secret, then? Fish sauce! Now before you click your mouse flies straight to the corner of your screen,…
Spinach and feta. It doesn’t exactly elicit exuberant expressions in children (we all know of their hatred for leaves), and I’m fairly sure it’s commonly regarded – even by adults – as a match for the fashionably healthy. However, the way I see it, this salty cheese with bittersweet greens is…
Five spice. A mere sprinkling of this Chinese blend is all you need – imho – to create a subtle flavour that permeates the meat. In my experience, people are far too liberal with five spice, and I all too often wonder if I’ll ever stop tasting cloves. Seriously, that stuff is…
When I went to visit my aunt, who never fails to offer me bags of deliciously fresh herbs, the subject of stuffed capsicums came up. I couldn’t get them out of my mind for the next hour. It was only natural then that, when I came across a bag of…
At the risk of sounding like a carb-obsesso, I was going to name these “Mince & Cheese Stuffed Capsicums” – almost akin to small, classy pies. I came to my senses when I realised they’re nothing like pies. It’s not that they’re worse – they’re simply on a different culinary tier.…
With a slow-cooker, life is so much easier. It’s beyond satisfying to lift that lid and be greeted by meat so soft it literally melts. Okay, maybe not quite literally. Nevertheless, this lamb – heady with freshly ground spices – is a wonderful contrast to the crisp and sweet salad.…
