Today’s recipe is the chicken and fried green tomato burger. A piece of chicken thigh, smothered in Sriracha and doused in flour then deep fried, placed on top of a fried green tomato, to make a crispy and succulent spicy chicken burger.
Spinach Bacon Strawberry Crostini
I love an appetizer or canapé that provides a really interesting opener to a meal or cocktail party. Something that requires little effort, saving your culinary strengths for the main course or more complex bites. Spinach bacon strawberry crostini ticks all those boxes, and because of its mix of meat and fruit, never fails to surprise those who are lucky enough to get a taste.
Blueberry Mango Salsa
On a warm day, blueberry mango salsa is a great choice for a side dish. It’s fruity, spicy and can be conjured up in no time. All you have to do is combine mango with blueberries, add jalapeños, scallion and lime juice and et voilà!
Snapper Fillet with Spicy Mango Sauce
If you’re like me, now that warmer weather is on the horizon, you will be more inclined to ditch the comfort food, laden with carbs, and instead enjoy a lighter perhaps more nutritious meal. Well, today’s recipe is a main course ideal for warmer days and nights – it’s snapper fillet with spicy mango sauce.
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs and Ramp Toast
Virgin Mango Bellini
Fathers – for Mother’s Day, why not grab your kids and make a virgin mango Bellini for the female head of your home this Sunday?
No alcohol is needed here. This is a simple virgin cocktail comprising of fresh puréed mango, lime juice and sparkling apple juice.
Paloma Cocktail
It’s Cinco de Mayo, so how about a Paloma cocktail? In Mexico, Palomas are usually a combination of tequila and grapefruit soda. In the US grapefruit soda is often replaced with fresh grapefruit juice either with or without club soda.
That’s the recipe for today folks, tequila, simple syrup, grapefruit juice, lime juice topped with club soda. This is a very refreshing cocktail, ideally served in a champagne flute. I used stemless champagne flutes, something I like to do when serving a sparkling drink with no wine in it.
Mexican-Style Pork Chops
Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, May 5, so how about some Mexican-style pork chops?
Ooh this is a great dish. Full of flavor, beautiful to look at, with just a little spice – just like me! Giggle.
Marinara Poached Eggs with Sausage
Marinara poached eggs with sausage is a very comforting meal, ideal for those mornings when perhaps you went too far the night before.
This dish gives you protein in the form of eggs and sausage in oodles of marinara sauce high in vitamin C. It’s so good.
Kale Pomegranate Goat Cheese Salad
I like a layered salad bursting with flavors, don’t you? If yes, you’ll love this kale pomegranate goat cheese salad. The ingredients are obvious, kale, pomegranate and goat cheese, with a generous dousing of balsamic mustard dressing, finished off with candied walnuts.
