Balsamic Pork with Orange Orzo and Crispy Rhubarb
A tangy balsamic glaze enrobes the tender pork which pairs wonderfully with the orange scented orzo studded with almonds. All of this topped with a tangle of crispy rhubarb. This has sweetness, saltiness, acid what more could you wish for.
Roasted Red Pepper Risotto
This is food that is simple and delicious, perfect for families. I always have the ingredients in my cupboard, it truly is one of my store cupboard recipes that is never too far away. I love this Roasted Red Pepper Risotto and hope you do too.
Sage and Onion Turkey Burgers
I love a festive sandwich full of the flavours of a Christmas dinner. I have my own offering that is ever so slightly festive inspired. My Sage and Onion Turkey Burgers, to make them even more festive forward I serve these with a cranberry mayo.
Artichoke Tomato Focaccia
Now this Artichoke Tomato Focaccia is more commonly known in my house as Antipasti Focaccia. We love this warm or at room temperature. Which makes this an ideal bake to take on a picnic. The bread is crisp on the outside and fluffy and bouncy on the inside. While the flavour of the Sun Dried Tomatoes and Artichoke Hearts as well as the Rosemary make this truly feel special.
Easy Pizza Dough
My Easy Pizza Dough is an absolute staple in my kitchen. This recipe makes enough dough for two 12 inch pizzas. Which means I freeze one portion of dough so I’m never too far away from homemade pizza.
Pea Burrata Prosciutto Bruschetta
Creamy Burrata with salty Prosciutto and minty, lemony Peas combine to create a delicious topping for Bruschetta. This makes a truly sensational starter or a delicious light lunch. It is so quick and simple to put together that it is my go to meal for hot summer days.
Grain Salad
This is the perfect accompaniment to any summer barbecue. It is full of texture with a zippy dressing to cut through any richer dishes. You can swap out the vegetables for whatever you like to keep it fresh and tailor it to your needs.
Spiced Chicken Skewers
These Spiced Chicken Skewers are the perfect addition to any summer BBQ. They are not spicy but the flavour is fully pumped up. Just the thought of these skewers leaves me hungry.
Baked Halloumi Fajitas
This might just be the perfect midweek meal. Not only does it all take place in one big roasting tin but it can be scaled up or down so simply. A little light chopping, throw in some spices and mix then bung it in the oven. I love fajitas in all forms but these have to be the simplest ones ever.
