This is such a flavoursome risotto thanks to the Parmesan stock you use to make it. It’s still a delight with vegetable or chicken stock but the Parmesan broth is a flavour power house and basically free to make so you should totally try it!
This is the easiest pasta dish in the world! I’ve always been dubious of one pot pastas due to the whole non traditional nature, but who doesn’t want less dishes to do? The Smokey cheddar is perfectly balanced by the acidity of the KEENs mustard powder and the brightness of the tomatoes.
So this is basically an inauthentic riff on a bun bowl, but with coconut rice. It’s simple, delicious and the marinade can be used on chicken thighs or skirt steak too. This is a classic warm night meal in our house, we cook the pork on the bbq and nothing else requires heat so the house doesn’t get hot, perfection!
This one is totally inspired by one of my favourite lunch bowls at Tinker but it’s a simpler version you can make at home without having to create loads of components. I add nuts to it for extra protein but you could add fish, chicken, an egg or tofu if your tummy is really growling.
This is my work lunch this week and I’m obsessed. Sticky stir fried egg plant with golden roasted cashew and loads of garlic and spring onion. What’s not to love?
We’re having beautiful days and cooler nights in Melbourne at the moment and this is the kind of food I’m craving. I’ve been making my own gnocchi and I’ll include the recipe for that below. But you can easily use store bought or your favourite recipe. Pasta would also be delicious with this sauce.
This is such a great way to roast chicken on a week night. By starting it in a hot skillet you’re guaranteeing crispy golden skin and juicy chicken. You can prep it the night before if you remember!
These are so full of flavour and a great alternative to meet skewers. I tried a new technique to cook the mushrooms and it allows the marinade flavour to really soak in AND for the mushrooms to get lovely and golden.
This creamy vegan curry is a delight on a cold night. It’s full of warm flavours, buttery roasted cashews and sweet pumpkin. The curry paste is quick and simple to make, you should have it on the table in 45 minutes!
This winner has been coming for a while. I’ve made different versions of it so many times. You can add extra layers of sliced vegetables if you like but it’s perfect as is. A rich vegetarian ragu full of umami flavour layered with cheesy sauce and silky pasta. Oh yes.
