Abbreviate the name as much as you want. But don’t abbreviate the recipe! Chicken Parmigiana Aussies love good pub grub. But all too often, the standard pub Parmi comes with soggy crumbing, dry chicken, a sub-par tomato sauce and greasy melted cheese. This homemade version puts those to shame. My secrets? Are you ready for the best Chicken Parmigiana of your life?? Here we go! (And guess what? This recipe includes a bonus NO FRY version....
This recipe is similar to Honey Pepper Beef Stir Fry – with the addition of the crispy beef! Mongolian Beef I cannot get enough of this Mongolian Beef. I am obsessed! PF Chang’s is an Asian themed restaurant chain in the US. They seem to be everywhere – and it’s wildly popular. Because of its sheer popularity, I had to try it when I was in the US. I actually didn’t mind the Chow Mein that my friend got, but personally I found the Mongolian Beef too sweet and too oily....
Krispy Kreme is one of my dirty food secrets. I don’t hunt it down (thankfully there aren’t that many in Sydney) but if I pass one during a weak moment then yeah, I break. Sigh. Why wasn’t I born craving broccoli and inspired to live a sugar free life? OK. So if I have to have a jelly doughnut every now and then, the least I can do is make it at home so it’s healthier....
Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole It never even crossed my mind to make a recipe such as this Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole from anything but scratch. But a quick Google and I was somewhat bemused to find that there are in fact many versions of similar rice casseroles made using canned soup. I’ve never tried this with canned soup, and I never intend to. Having tried canned soup in various forms in my time, I can say with absolute confidence that homemade from scratch is tastier, it’s better for you and it’s easy!...
AND you won’t get your fingers caked with batter and breadcrumbs in the process of making them. Find out my little tricks! Crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders Have you ever made a recipe based on the photos showing a perfect golden BAKED crumbed chicken, only to find that: a) the crumbing comes out splotchy with some burnt bits and some white bits; and b) the crumbing is not that crunchy (unless you bake it so long the chicken overcooks)?...
Pide Turkish Pide has been my Secret Food Shame* for as long as I can remember. Not authentic, freshly made Pide crafted lovingly by the hands of someone’s Turkish grandma. I’m talking about the greasy, low-rent versions sold from hot glass cabinets at late night takeaway shops, filled with cheap cheese and piles of meat shaved from giant Doner Kebab punching bags turning lazily on vertical rotisseries. It’s a bit wrong, I know, but I cannot help myself....
🌶 Welcome back to Indian Week! 🌶 It’s Indian Week here at RecipeTin Eats! And week where I’m sharing 4 brand new Indian recipes so you can make your very own feast at home: Samosa recipe If you think of an “Indian snack”, probably the first image that pops into mind is the humble Samosa. These little fried parcels of flaky-yet-tender pastry, stuffed to the brim with spiced potatoes and other ingredients, are pretty much my idea of the world’s greatest savoury snack....
“Very few stir fries can be converted into a slow cooked version without compromising flavour or texture. Beef and broccoli was made for it.” Have you noticed that when you order Chinese that the meat is always incredibly tender? It’s not because they are made with expensive fillets. It is because of a technique used to tenderise the meat called “velveting”. All you do is marinate the meat in cornstarch and sauces....
Also see Asian market shopping list. Soy Sauce – 3 main types The mains types of soy sauce are: You can interchange light soy sauce and all purpose soy sauce in recipes. But you must NEVER use dark soy sauce unless a recipe calls for it – it is very strong and will overpower the dish! Difference between each type of soy sauce Here’s the main difference between each of them:...
HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM OK, so you might know an ice cream specialist or a fancy pants restaurant that makes a stellar strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries, and it really truly tastes of strawberries. So it’s a bit bullish to say this homemade strawberry ice cream recipe has flavour money can’t buy. But if we’re talking about everyday strawberry ice cream sold in tubs at supermarkets and even gourmet stores, then this is off the charts compared to them....
Welcome back to THAI WEEK! Welcome back to the final instalment of THAI WEEK, a week where I’m sharing 3 recipes to make your very own Thai feast at home! Every now and then, I like to do a recipe theme week. This week it’s THAI week, with three classic recipes to make your very own Thai feast at home: Thai Black Sticky Rice Pudding Black sticky rice is a type of glutinous whole grain rice used to make desserts in Thailand and a number of other South-East Asian nations....
I’ve written before about the “proper” way to make pastas. The way Italian Nonna’s do. The way real Italian restaurants do. It’s not about using loads and loads of sauce. The magic step that makes all the difference between a decent pasta and a really great one is tossing the pasta gently with the sauce and some of the pasta cooking water, just before serving. What this does is activate the starch in the water and it mingles with the oil in the sauce, so it becomes glossy and luscious and coats every strand of pasta....
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....
No, it’s not a genius hack! It’s just thriftiness – using leftovers from the Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks in Red Wine that I posted yesterday. This pie……what is there to say? It’s pure comfort food at its best because it takes just 15 minutes to put together to pop into the oven! The best pies are ones with slow cooked fillings so the meat is tender and juicy. So making this using leftover Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks in Red Wine is a classic way of making a pie....
Get ready to see your neighbours’ faces popping over the fence when the chicken hits the grill! BEST Grilled Chicken Marinades There’s several hundred chicken recipes on my website. And here are my picks for the BEST Grilled Chicken Marinades for your BBQ, the marinades that are especially good for chicken cooked on the BBQ! Are you ready?? Here we go! Everyday Marinades I call these my Everyday Grilled Chicken Marinades because these are the ones I make over and over again!...
There are some things in life that you think just can’t get any better. Like hash browns. With a golden, crunchy crust and moist inside, hash browns is one of those things in life that appeals to both little kids and grown ups. So – can you improve on the classic hash brown? YES, YOU CAN! By adding cheese and bacon! Then you up the stakes again – by making them in muffin tins....
This vegetarian curry is one of those foods where carnivores truly don’t miss the meat. (I am, of course, referring to myself 🙂 ) And it’s super healthy – 280 calories per serve! Chickpea Curry This curry tastes just like Indian curry you get from restaurants. I really mean that. It has great layers of flavour. Real punchy flavours. And it’s made from scratch – no curry pastes here! The roots of this particular curry is Trinidad in the Caribbean....
This recipe is an reworked version of a cookbook reject. Read the back-story below! From the cookbook cutting room floor … This recipe grew out of an infamous fish recipe draft that didn’t make it into my cookbook. I say “infamous” because after my brother was asked to try the draft recipe, he returned blunt feedback declaring, “There is nothing about this recipe that I like.” BRUTAL!! 😂😂😂 The ruthlessness of this comment that only family can give to one another had the whole team in stitches – especially after I lost my nerve and decided to pull it from the book even after I “fixed” it for him....
While the Western world goes bonkers over the vision of a glistening baked ham ready for carving, the Chinese are rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of the ham bone. Because this recipe is not just something I made up – though I wouldn’t blame you for thinking so. Chinese Ham Bone Rice Soup is a “thing”. It’s called “Congee” in Chinese, and it’s the source of much discussion over who gets the ham bone from our own Christmas ham – or a pact to use it for a Family Meal – as well as smug announcements when one is able to secure extra leftover ham bones....
A blank canvas for Chinese Stir Fry Noodles I rarely use a recipe for stir fry noodles I make on a day to day basis, because after making it hundreds (and hundreds!) of times, the “formula” is embedded deep in me which means I can throw one together using virtually any ingredients. And I swear, I’ve never had a disaster failure. Some are better than others, and I’ve experimented with stir frying some strange ingredients (umm…parsnip in stir fries is weird), but overall it’s always tasty and I happily scoff down a large bowl and go back for seconds....
