Peanut Chilli Crisp Pork Nachos

Toon — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 02:33:14 +0000

These peanut chilli crisp pork nachos are like no other version you (or I, for that matter) have ever had before – and it seems we’ve all been missing out. Savoury, satisfying and with a heady chilli hit, the culmination of flavours has to be tried to be believed... and that’s before we even get to the tangy and nutty sauce to tie it all together. Don’t be tempted to skip the double-layering method either. It guarantees a winning cheese pull and topping with every tortilla chip.

Family Bolognese

Toon — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 03:48:47 +0000

It’s my family bolognese and I’ll do what I want to… and that includes adding some very untraditional ingredients! But trust me – there’s always method to the madness. Here, eggplant performs double duty as hidden veg (parents, thank me later) but also to lend a velvety feel to proceedings, while soy sauce (sorry, Italy) adds a depth of umami you’d only get if you’d simmered your sauce for hours. The moral of this story? Everything has a place, everything works. The end.

Bolognese Roll-up Lasagne

Toon — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 03:47:46 +0000

I’m always looking for new ways to use up my leftovers, and this recipe has definitely earned its place at my dinner table at home. For those times when you’ve got meat sauce but not quiiite enough for a regular lasagne, this bolognese roll-up lasagne is the answer. Extra bonus points for the fact there are way more crispy bits of pasta on top of this version if, like me, you’re always fighting over those, too!

Tomato Garlic Butter Pasta

Toon — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 03:46:25 +0000

Here, I’m taking my famous garlic butter pasta linguini that took my socials by storm and giving it a brand new look: fresh cherry tomatoes that add a hint of sweetness, plus a mound of bouncy homemade pasta lovingly made from scratch. Of course, you could totally use store-bought instead if you prefer – it’ll still be the perfect vessel for lashings of this winning, savoury sauce. Some people would call this tomato garlic butter pasta fusion. I just call it delicious.

Fresh Pasta From Scratch

Toon — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 03:40:23 +0000

Pasta: it’s a true love affair of mine, especially the fusion kind. And, while I’m definitely not adverse to using store-bought, there’s something special about making your own fresh pasta from scratch. This is my go-to homemade recipe that’s always served me well, where I tend to favour a ratio of 1 egg per 100g of flour. Give it a whirl when you have some time up your sleeve and taste the difference.

So I tried a thing… and it worked. Here, I took the fried rice paper parcels that were all over my socials and turned them into cute-as-a-button crispy rice paper dumplings. All you need is a nifty little dumpling press or dumpling maker device, and before you know it you’ll have perfection on a plate. Drizzle with crispy chilli oil for some umami crunch and get stuck in.

Making a dish from whatever veg you’ve got kicking about your fridge doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on flavour – and this leftovers Thai fried rice is all the proof you need. I’ve made mine with Christmas ham, but you could easily use shredded chicken or any cooked meat leftover from your Sunday roast for instance. Combined with winning wok technique and a few nifty tips and tricks, and you’ve got a recipe for success you can rely on again and again.

Bacon Fat Potatoes

Toon — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 07:27:41 +0000

Roast potatoes are divine at the best of times, but when basted in porky, savoury goodness, they’re even more otherworldly. And, to elevate these bacon fat potatoes further, a decent sprinkle of crispy bacon bits gives them a delightful crunch. Serve this side dish with roast chicken and a lavish dose of gravy, or alongside a perfectly seared steak.

Salt and Pepper Squid With Aioli

Toon — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 06:11:16 +0000

Salt and pepper squid is such a delight to make yourself at home – and surprisingly easier than you think. I like to use Sichuan peppercorns in the mix to add a tingly, numbing and slightly spicy flavour to proceedings. And adding yuzu to aioli? You’ll never have it any other way.
