This cauliflower is fried, therefor it’s not exactly a health food but it’s a delicious way to get anyone eating more vegetables and a great vegetarian starter. Serve it in lettuce cups with a drizzle of tamarind sauce over top and you will be oh so pleased with yourself.
Pumpkin and Goats Cheese Tacos
I made these tacos as part of a Sunday lunch for some wonderful women. We followed them with the eggplant curry from earlier in the week and then brown butter tahini chocolate chip cookie cups (from I will not eat Oysters my favourite blog for cookie recipes!) topped with vanilla ice cream. It was a feast and exactly what Sunday lunch with your friends should be.
Broccoli, Goats Cheese and Potato Cakes
Slow Cooked Zucchini Sauce
I don’t know what to call this other than glorious. A wonderful woman I met on a retreat, Anne, was telling me about one of her favourite things to do with zucchini and I had to try it and this is my version of it. Ridiculously simple but a real revelation in terms of flavour. i’m loathe to post my 20th zucchini recipe of the year but I can’t help myself. I’m sorry, but also not at all because why am I apologising for giving you yet another free zucchini recipe?!
Paprika Roasted Carrots
I know, a carrot post in the middle of summer is weird. But they’re still readily available and these are the kind of carrots that only need 20- 30 minutes in the oven and they’re done. Quick cook times are what I’m here for (says the girl who made slow roasted lamb last week…).
Extra Green Saag Paneer
This saag paneer cane be made with any leafy greens you have left over in your fridge, I’ve even used carrot tops before. I find if you keep it to half baby spinach then the balance of flavours is still great and you’re using up what you have on hand. It’s less decadent than the kind you’d eat out but still of so delicious.
Golden Roast Potatoes with Lemon, Feta and Oregano.
Just. Look. The. Golden. Crispy. Edges. I am obsessed with potatoes. Roasted is possibly my favourite kind. Roasted with salty feta melting against them, a hint of fresh lemon and fragrant oregano and I am done. These potatoes are the best.
Zucchini, Herb and Feta Fritters
I’ve made these fritters for numerous parties and they’re always a hit. In this recipe I pan fry them in olive oil but I’ve also deep fried them in a wok before when I was being a bit more indulgent (it was New Years, it was a party, it had to be done). Both ways of cooking them produce crispy fritters studded with melty feta and full of flavour.
Snowpea, Feta, Almond and Asparagus Salad
This salad is so fresh and delicious. Dressed with a tasty lemon, feta and extra virgin olive oil dressing and filled with crunchy green vegetables it’s the perfect pretty addition to your Christmas table!
Rosemary Roasted Cauliflower with Butter Bean and Parmesan Puree
This dish really is everything. The crispy exterior of the cauliflower gives way to a creamy flavoursome centre and it all sits on top of a lemony butterbean puree perfectly seasoned with Parmesan. Yep, it’s a winner.
