*Special* Christmas Caramelized Red Onion Chutney

There are many red onion chutney recipes out there on the internet, for example this, however there is much more you can do to it to make it different from the rest. In this recipe we add fruit, a variety of onions (easy to buy from any supermarket), aubergine and red wine to really add a twist to this tasty condiment. Goes perfectly with homemade Burgers and Thick Cut Chips or a DIY Sub Sandwich.

If you don't want to eat it all by yourselves, you can put them into sterilized jars and give them as gifts to friends and family.

Juicy Pork Shoulder Joint with Tasty Marinade and Roast Potatoes

This Sunday Roast recipe is surprisingly easy, does not take many ingredients and could only be cheaper if you got it served by your Mum :)

The marinade is spicy/sweet depending on your taste and can be used on a variety of other meats - works best with red meat, to marinade spare ribs or BBQ steaks! Check it out!

Couscous salad: Morocco meets Mexico

BBQ season is upon us and what do we like more with a juicy steak or grilled vegetables? Salad...that is savoury and filling.

I am a massive fan of couscous and eat it as the carby basis for a saucy dish,
as an accompaniment for a rich casserole or tagine, or of course cold for lunch or in salad.

With some lovely spices and fresh vegetables, this turns into a salad that will impress even the most reluctant lettuce eaters and their loathing into love.

Serves 2-4; ready in 15min

Fresh Summer Beetroot Dip with Rocket and Walnuts

Yes, it is PINK... :)

Black Olive Bread with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Almonds

 

BBQ season needs not only an amazing variety of meat, salad, veg and sauces...NO! What would summer be without mediterranean olive bread with or without sun-dried tomatoes and some crunchy almonds on top?!

Here is an easy way to make delicious bread at home that will definitely impress your buddies and their taste-buds at the next get-together.

DIY Sub Sandwich with Garlic Sauce

When you want to spend time outside, maybe go for a long walk, go to the park, or simply can't be bothered to spend too much time away from your terrace I suggest this simple snack/lunch!

What makes it great?? It doesn't need many ingredients, only the ones that YOU choose (or can find in your fridge)!

Fun fact of the day: The "Sub" as a name does not primarily refer to the large green/yellow retailer that offers customers the opportunity to "eat fresh" fast-food...NO! It originates from the name Submarine Sandwich, a food offered to Navy servicemen in the U.S. in WWI.

Pomegranate Muffins

Pomegranates are in season! Also called “The Jewel of Autumn” is a real Antioxidant-Bomb, super healthy and helps you fight off cold and flu-viruses. So with the days becoming increasingly cold and rainy you might need some comfort and power-up food to have with your hot tea and blanket on a Sunday!

Alternatively you can serve it as an original but quick and easy to make treat to serve to friends and family when they come to visit!

Quick and Easy home-made Bruschetta with whole grain toast

People tend to think that, apart from Pizza - which was hijacked by the Americans improving thickness and cheese-content - and Spaghetti - which has become a kind of universal easy-to-make dish - the Italians are the Masters of their own cuisine! 

They give it unpronounceable names and have the authentic advantage of actually sun-blushing/kissing/drying their food and have the climate to sweat out the litres of olive oil used in all their foods. But I will show today how you can make your own delicious BRUSCHETTA!

Bruschetta, for the Italians is the toasted bread by the way, which can be topped with anything really. However in other European countries it's the typical tomato and garlic mix on top that has become associated with the name. Therefore I will add the simple recipe for the mix, as opposed to the recipe for whole grain toast. That may come some other day :) Enjoy!

Spicy filled Tomatoes (Ham, Tuna or Vegetarian) with Halloumi

Tomato soup, tomato sauce - with or without meat -, tomato salad ...isn't it getting a little boring?
Why not try filling the tomatoes instead?! It's a great way to use up left-overs, give the tomatoes a nice seasoning (literally from the inside-out) and to try something new. Rediscover the taste of tomatoes, the mediterranean way, the spicy way, or any way you choose...
