Coat a non-stick frypan with cooking spray and sauté prawns for 3 minutes. Add garlic, shallots and wine to pan and cook 4-5 minutes. Combine cornflour with milk, add to pan, stirring constantly until sauce boils and thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with boiled rice or fettuccine pasta.
Coat a large non-stick fry pan with cooking spray, add garlic and chicken strips, toss together until browned. Add onion to pan and cook for 2 minutes, place mushrooms into pan and cook a further 2 minutes. Add gherkins, stock powder, tomato paste, spinach, paprika and stir well. Blend cornflour into milk, add to pan stirring continuously until sauce boils, salt and pepper to taste.
Blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain. Heat a large, lightly greased frypan or barbeque on medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes each side for med-rare, or to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Use a fork to whisk garlic, lemon juice and oil in a large bowl. Add green beans and remaining ingredients, season, then toss to combine. Serve with lamb.
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity and most of the ingredients are straight out of the pantry bar the spinach. It has the most amazing aroma of flavours from the spicy wooden scent of the cumin to the nutty flavour of the beans. It’s great even as a side.
Serves 4 2 skinless chicken breasts (500g) 1/2 tsp 5 Chinese spice 1 head broccoli (250g) trimmed 1 tsp sesame oil 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated 40g green capsicum 50 g almonds 1 Tbsp soy sauce 2 Tbsp water 2 tsp cornflour Remove skin and cut chicken into small pieces (about 2.5cm cubes). Coat with 5 Chinese spice.
Serves 4 Ingredients 140 grams of boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/3 cup flour 2 tsp canola oil 1/2 cup apricot preserves ½ chicken stock 1 tbsp tamari sauce
Ingredients 4 firm baby eggplant, cut lengthways into 5mm-thick slices2 tbs olive oil8 x120g lamb fillets1 cup of mint leaves120g natural yogurt2 garlic cloves, finely choppedJuice of 1 lemon2 tbs baby capers, rinsed, drained
Such a quick and fantastic alternative to the regular steak and vege. Make the most of the creamy simplicity of the mash by using butter beans with a boost of flavor from herbs. Salty zingy flavor of the capers and olives in the Tapenade add the extra complexity of taste to a simple steak.
Serves 4 Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 pork chops
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon powdered mustard
¾ cup hot water
