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 […]
On a day like today a dinner is a joy when you’re working from home. Spend 20 minutes putting it together and then let it do it’s thing in the oven all afternoon while you do other things. It’s another slow cook recipe as the lamb needs to be melting off the bone so I […]
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 […]
