Crispy Roast Chicken with Chat Potatoes and Fennel
Maple Mustard Chicken Skewers with Avocado and Mint Sauce
Last lockdown I was really into cooking complicated stuff from scratch just to keep myself entertained. This lockdown feels different. I just want simple and delicious things to eat for dinner that are quick to make. These skewers fit that description to a tee. The flavour is so addictive, the perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour, and a little hit of bitter from the mustard powder.
Ponzu Pork Tenderloin with Sesame Noodles
This is one of those things that you eat and immediately start thinking about when you could eat it next. The marinade is so flavoursome with this lean cut of pork, and sealing it with the crispy crust keeps everything super juicy. Noodles + greens on the side and you have an incredibly tasty and easy meal.
Grilled Pork and Coconut Rice Salad Bowls
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!
Crispy Chicken Ribs – Baked not fried!
These are so good that my partner and I prefer them to the deep fried version. Using skinless chicken ribs makes them a lighter choice than your typical fried chicken wing. And you don’t miss out on any flavour.
Easy Chicken, Fennel, Kale and Freekah Salad
You could add anything to this salad and it would be delicious, but that zesty fennel is a must. Actually don’t change a thing, make it like this!
Roast Herb Salted Pork Rack with Roasted Cauliflower, Fennel and Olives
There are some very classic flavours in this roast rack of pork and they come together to make the most amazing roast dinner. After travelling to London twice in the last 6 months I feel like my appreciation for a good pork roast has gone through the ceiling. This is my dream roast and it doesn’t even include potatoes. Just a really beautiful rack of St Bernard’s Free Range Pork, caramelised cauliflower and fennel and a sort of parmesan gravy to tie it all together.
Pork Schnitzel with a Roasted Wedged Slaw and Herb Dressing
The crumb on these lean pork schnitzels has thyme leaves and hemp seeds in it and it gives the most delicious savoury nutty flavour. I Only ever make schnitzel when I have stale bread, and it’s usually sourdough as it’s my favourite. The combination or sourdough crumbs, thyme and hemp seeds adds so much flavour.
Osso Bucco Pie
Let’s not pretend pie is a health food. But this blog is meant to be about me hunting for a healthier approach to life, for me part of that is not being on a diet and eating pie sometimes. And this is an incredible one.
Oven Baked Meatballs 3 Ways
These meatballs are so simple to make especially because I actually didn’t make the meatballs! I used Peppercorn Extra Lean Beef Burgers . You could also use their meatballs but these burger patties are thick and can easily be shaped into the most delicious juicy meatballs that are the perfect size for oven baking.
