Really tasty way of getting juicy pork chops. Regular family dinner in my house growing up so I can testify that kids find them delish too! Marinade: 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup 2 – 3 spring oinions chopped (optional) Marinate the pork chops for […]
So here’s a very simple soup that can be made from things that you probably have hanging around your kitchen. I only use ground and dried coriander in this recipe, but obviously, the dried can be replaced with fresh coriander if you have it. Ingredients 1lb of carrot 1 large or 2 small onions 1 […]
This is a ridiculously simple pasta sauce which kids love. It manages to sneak in some veggies as well without them noticing. This keeps happily in the fridge for a few days as well so it’s dead handy to whip up a big batch for a weekend lunch and use the rest for a dinner […]
So this is my attempt at recreating the excellent Prawns in Brandy dish that was sold in the short lived Italy in Italy takeaway in Terenure in the first few years of the 21st Century. Very quick, very tasty. Ingredients 200g prawns (or crayfish) per person Glug of brandy Double cream Red Onions, finely chopped […]

Ingredients 1kg mussels 1 glass/small bottle of white wine 2 red onions, finely chopped 20g Butter Glug of double cream Method Throw the mussels […]

A savage Creole spicy rice stew with prawns and sausage. The great thing about it is that you can use whatever meat you like in it; chicken, prawns, sausage, duck, ham. It’s all good. This one uses two types of sausage, a smoked Polish Kiełbasa (centre of image) and some Chorizo. I got both easily […]
Quick and easy burger recipe that’s packed with flavour and has a little crunch to it for that texture shake-up that we all need at meal times. This recipe is fast food with fury; delicious spicey fury… 450g Minced Lamb 1 tsp Cumin 1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard Seeds Fresh Corriander (to taste) Burger Buns, or […]
A brilliant mid-week meal which the wee ones absolutely demolish. This is pretty much our Go To dish when we have very little in the house as it’s quick and hassle free. The baked sauce should be lovely and crusty and relatively “dry” to intensify the flavour. Prep time : 10 minutes Cooking time : […]
