And if you want ultra ultra crispy, make small thin ones instead – they are literally potato crisp crispy! Potato Rosti She who was labelled Potato Girl by her family when she was a mere teenager cannot comprehend how she’s made it through 6 years with a recipe website and not shared a rosti recipe. At least, not “properly”. A variation of it is buried in this old Smoked Salmon Rosti Stack breakfast recipe....
Spinach and Ricotta Rotolo I’m going to call it – this will be the best new thing you’ve made all year. The rich tomato sauce. The creamy spinach and ricotta filling spiked with parmesan and nutmeg. Golden brown bubbly cheese. And the brown crunchy bits, the crowning glory. How inappropriate would it be to pick off all the crunchy bits before it gets to the table? 😂 What is Rotolo?...
My taste testers loved this and I am officially obsessed! This salad is an absolute stunner. Visually and taste. Strawberry and balsamic is a combination I discovered last year. Like tomato and basil, it just works. Sweetened balsamic, that is. Plain balsamic vinegar is too harsh. Bringing that flavour combination into a salad is incredible. I was researching online for Cajun / Creole salads to complete my 2016 Thanksgiving Feast....
Last week I shared my Real Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce recipe, the ultimate secret weapon for fast mid week meals. It takes minutes to mix up then can be stored in the fridge for weeks, and you can use it for stir fries (including noodles) and even soups. It’s great to use as a base to add other flavours – such as herbs, chilli and of course garlic and ginger – but it has enough of a depth of flavour that you can even use it on its own....
I was inspired to make this because I wanted to make something a little unique using leftover mashed potato I had from making Shepherd’s Pie Potato Skins (yet again….I love them!). This recipe is from my favourite Indian food blog, Priya’s Kitchenette. Besides the fact that Priya is an incredibly generous and kind person, she is phenonemal in the kitchen and her blog opened up the world of Indian cooking to me....
Bacon, Egg and Mushroom Tart Hi, I’m Nagi and I’m a Puff Pastry-aholic. Actually, that’s pretty poor form to joke about my addiction to puff pastry. But I couldn’t help it. Because if there was a 12 step program to wean me off my addiction, I’d be there in a heartbeat. It actually takes me a lot of will power to not post a puff pastry recipe every couple of weeks....
One of my greatest sources of inspiration are food blogs. I am continually amazed by the creativity, wealth of knowledge and talent that is “out there” in the food blogging community. And one of my personal favorites is Kathleen from Hapa Nom Nom. Ever since the very first day that I stumbled across her blog by chance, I was hooked. Having tried quite a few of her recipes (scroll down to see my favorites!...
For an even healthier option, try this Broccoli Salad with a mayo-free Creamy Lemon Dressing or Ranch Dressing, or this Broccoli Salad with Sour Cream dressing! The mere mention of Broccoli Salad conjures up visions of giant bowls of broccoli swimming in oily mayo dressing that’s often too sweet. Just the thought makes my thighs start expanding. Yet I cannot deny that I’m a sucker for a good Broccoli Salad with a creamy dressing....
Caesar salad Wonton Cups Because I had leftover ingredients from the Chicken Caesar Salad I shared earlier this week, I decided to use them up by making little bite size versions. Caesar Salad overload? Never! Especially not when you transform them into these cute little cups. I love bite size food not only because they’re cute, but also because you don’t need crockery or utensils (very attractive for someone who doesn’t have a (working) dishwasher)....
Terrific grazing dessert for gatherings. And because it stays fresh for weeks, it makes for a sensational food gift!! Caramel Popcorn I make caramel popcorn a LOT all throughout the year. I make it for: gifting – just a pure act of kindness without any ulterior motives; bribing – when I’m trying to sway decisions / get in or stay in someone’s good graces. (This happens more than I care to admit 😂); and dessert for gatherings – it’s a brilliant grazing option for dessert so your family and friends don’t need to commit to a huge slice of chocolate cake because they’re stuffed full from dinner!...
The one thing that makes this ceviche recipe stand out from the rest is that it’s not too sour. Limes in South America aren’t as sour as ours! Ceviche Originating from the west coast of South America, today ceviche can be found in various forms from Mexico down to Peru and beyond. It’s also a dish that has been embraced by fine dining establishments around the world. It plates up elegantly and is an ideal light seafood starter to precede a richer main....
Cherry Tomato Salad This is my “go-to” salad that I make whenever I have ripe cherry tomatoes. One that I’ve been making for as long as I can remember. There’s nothing groundbreaking in it, it’s just a really classic combination of ingredients and flavours. But the one essential is to use juicy, ripe tomatoes. If you don’t, it kind of defeats the purpose! What goes in this cherry tomato salad Fresh basil with tomato is a match made in heaven, plus thin slices of red onion for freshness then a simple vinaigrette made with cider vinegar, olive oil and mustard for thickening....
Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry If you descended upon your local Asian Market armed with my Asian Market Shopping List and stocked up on the Level 1 essential sauces, you have the 3 sauces you need to make this. How good is that!!? And if your weekly grocery shopping is as predictable as mine, then chicken and broccoli made it into your trolley on the weekend. Which means you’re armed and dangerous, ready to cook up this big batch Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry....
These store well for a couple of days in an airtight container. The nutritional information below shows that each piece only contains 9 calories….however, this is somewhat misleading given you won’t be able to stop at one!
This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....
The best part is breaking open the golden brown balls to reveal the dazzling green insides. Dip them in tahini sauce and pop them straight in your mouth, or make wraps! Falafel recipe There are many things I do not know, but I do know this: Falafels are the highest and best use of chickpeas. Perhaps not the most common use – hard to beat a batch of creamy hummus whipped up in mere minutes using a can of chickpeas....
Easy Homemade Granola I’m going to be honest with you – I didn’t start making making granola because it’s healthier than store bought. I started because it’s cheaper and and I can control how sweet it is (store bought is so sweet!!!). Then it evolved into a bit of a game, trying to come up with cute flavour combinations. Berry Burst, Apple Pie, Apricot Sunrise, Blueberry Pie, Apple Crumble, Peach ‘n Cream, Maple Crunch, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie....
** Follow the Roast Beef Cut guide below to determine which cuts are best for marinating** Marinated Roast Beef This is a recipe that was born during the days when I was a poverty stricken uni student who refused to live on packet ramen day after day. I wanted roast beef and gravy, damn it! But of course, my budget would never stretch to Prime Rib, so I’d purchase the best value roast beef cuts I could find then end up chewing my way through dry, tasteless roast beef....
This is a recipe given to me by a classically trained French Chef, Jean-Baptiste Alexandre, culinary collaborator of RecipeTin Eats. Pea Puree Welcome to Day 14 of the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon, where I’m sharing 30 salads in a row through to Christmas Eve. Something different to the usual sugar-loaded baking countdowns!! Now, I do know that today’s dish isn’t a salad as such, but it is made with vegetables (peas count!...
Red Potato Salad I want to say that I’d take this potato salad over a classic mayonnaise version any day, and right now I would. But I firmly believe there’s a place in this world for both. So I’ll trumpet this one as a great alternative potato salad for all those times when you want something a little different, with a little wow factor: tasty bacon bits, charry golden pops of sweet corn, all dressed with a mildly zingy cider vinegar dressing....
