Spiced melting feta and chickpea salad
This is another recipe I saw on the good food website and had to try, with added spice of course. I served it with some lamb kebabs. I used mint sauce mixed with some lemon juice and a little sugar istead of the fresh mint. Also served it with a nice big dollop of tzatziki […]
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers Recipe
Since getting my wood fired oven (more on that soon) I’ve been experimenting with ways to use the heat as the oven gets up to pizza temperature to cook snacks or starters, I saw a photo of some of these on Instagram so decided to give them a go, the picture used a fancy bit […]
Poached Eggs with Sriracha creme fraiche
This might seem like a bit of a strange recipe but it was absolutely delicious, apologies for the poor photo I decided to try and poach my eggs in an egg poacher to save faffing with a pan so they came out a little wedge shaped…not the most attractive of poached eggs but they tasted […]
Cajun Rice Krispie Chicken
This was a bit of an experiment as I fancied something different to breadcrums, crushed up crisps or crackers and was inspired by some prawns we had from Iceland at Christmas. It’s really simple and really tasty, the mayo could be spiced with all sorts of things but I had some left over hairy dieters […]
Spicy Sausage and Apple Roll
This is such a delicious recipe whether you serve it hot or cold, it can be made as one big sausage roll or separate little ones. You can use what ever sausage meat you like as long as it’s good quality, you can buy sausage meat or take the meat from some sausages and discard […]
Chilli Coconut Panko Prawns
These are really simple but really tasty, you can easily modify them by adding some lime zest or using sweet chilli sauce instead of beaten egg, I’ve even done a version with toasted coconut flakes and fresh chilli. I also did a version of these with added chilli and breadcrumbs in the batter for extra […]
Black Pudding Scotch Egg with Spicy Sauce
I’ve been playing with scotch eggs for a while. I’m almost as obsessed about them as I am with arancini. I’ve had all sort’s of ideas for replacing the egg with various things or spicing up the sausage meat with something a bit different. But for now the spice comes in the form of the […]
Spicy Vegetable Soup
This is a great way to use up any vegetables you have left kicking around at the end of the week, it’s healthy, spicy and really tasty. You can even do it all in one pan and use a hand blender instead of a food processor that way there’s not much to wash up afterwards. […]
Mr vikkis chilli jam pork pies
This is pretty much a Paul Hollywood recipe although I’ve tweeked it a bit and added some chilli jam, you can use any chilli jam you like but I went for Mr Vikkis as I love the spice combination and think it works brilliantly with pork. It was the first time I’d made pork pies […]
Chilli Cauliflower Cheese
Cauliflower has to be one of the most boring vegetables ever, I’ve never really got on with it unless it’s been spiced to hell with curry spices, in picallili or covered in cheese so when I found a cauliflower in the shopping trolley I knew there was only one thing to do with it. I […]
