Seasoning series: pesto

 

Good with pasta, fish, chicken or even mix through yogurt as salad dressing, this recipe is about tasting as you go. You may like more lemon or more pepper or more salt it's entirely up to you!

1 pot/large packet fresh basil

1tbsp grated Parmesan (1syn)

1tsp extra virgin olive oil (2 syns but syns vary so please check!)

1small clove garlic, 

Juice of half a lemon,

Generous pinch of salt and pepper

2tbsp water

Blend together and keep in the fridge for up to 5days, replace the fresh garlic with a pinch of garlic granules to last 10-14 days 

Seasoning series: Fajita

 

Me again, I thought I'd share one of my favourites now! Good with chicken or beef or even beef mince as it's similar to taco seasoning. I'd love to hear some feedback so please comment or message me!

Equal quantities (tsp tbsp etc)

Salt, black pepper, paprika (not smoked!), cumin, garlic granules and chilli powder.

That simple! 

Seasoning series: creole

 

So I've been off track a little I've only put on half a pound but that's too much for me! So I'm doing a mini series, seasonings! So many times I go to buy a seasoning but it's high in sugar or fat! So for you guys, here is my 1st seasoning blog of creole seasoning, spicy, aromatic brilliant for meat, fish, pasta rice you name it!

I don't use garlic or onion powder in my seasoning if I'm using actual onion or garlic in the dish but if I'm using this particular spice for fish or meat I add them! 

Easy recipe equal measure of everything,just keep in a jar!

1 tsp or tbsp each of:

Salt, FRESHLY GROUND black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and cayenne pepper OR if you can't quite handle the heat, mild chilli powder.

That is it! Just remember onion and garlic powder/granules if you don't use the real stuff in your dish. 

Nando's spicy rice (easier version)

 

So this is my easier version of nandos rice!

400g basmati rice (pre cooked or packet)

1 red and green pepper

1 large onion

2-3 tbsp nandos mild sauce (syns vary so check it out!)

Roughly chop the onion and peppers into small pieces.

Cook down the onion and peppers until soft.

Stir in the nandos sauce and add 100ml of water.

Cook until the water is almost evaporated and add the rice, stirring constantly until piping hot and absorbed all the flavour from the sauce.
