Authentic tasting Banh Mi with just a trip to your local grocery store? YES YOU CAN! Banh Mi recipe Fellow Banh Mi lovers, this one’s for you! A recipe that’s been in the works for a very long time, with much taste-testing research done (it’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it… 😂). In today’s Banh Mi recipe, I’m going to show you: I certainly had more than my fair share of Banh Mi when I was in Vietnam last year…....
Cashew Chicken Meatballs Monday Meatball Mania is back!!! Wow you guys LOVED the Swedish Meatballs I shared last month. Soft tender meatballs bathed in a creamy gravy….ugh. How did it take me so long to share that one?? For those not already on board the meatball train, here’s the background: my friend Jo from Jo Cooks and I whole heartedly agree that there needs to be more ball shaped foods in this world....
This retro classic is here to stay – always! Chicken Cordon Bleu Chicken stuffed with ham and cheese, coated with crunchy golden breadcrumbs. You’d swear it’s fried – but it’s baked. The classic way to make Chicken Cordon Bleu involves breast pounded until thin, layered with ham and cheese, rolled into a log, chilled, dredged in flour then egg then breadcrumbs then deep fried (and you need a lot of oil to deep fry them)....
A sweet, impressive crowd pleasing dessert option – and just 47 CALORIES per piece! Chocolate Covered Strawberries How many times have you slaved away on a dessert only to find that: people are too full to have more than a tiny slice; friends who declare they’re on a diet (and we all know that January is all about NYE resolutions to be healthier!); or doesn’t suit certain dietary requirements?...
Serve with lightly toasted bread or pita, else for a healthy and colourful take, with crisp raw vegetables (aka crudités). Creamy Feta Dip If you’re ever in need of something quick but homemade to break out at a gathering, this Creamy Feta Dip will save the day. All you do is blend feta, cream cheese, a smidge of garlic, lemon zest and olive oil in a food processor, then spread it on a plate and sprinkle/drizzle with toppings....
Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta The weekend is here and we deserve a treat!!! Rather than heading out for dinner, I think you should make THIS luscious Creamy Garlic Prawn Pasta at home. 🙂 Yes it’s indulgent, but let me assure you, it’s a whole lot healthier than eating out. Because let’s face it – restaurant food is so good because it’s loaded with butter, oil and salt. I once went in search for a famous Mashed Potato recipe by Guillaume Brahimi, a renowned French Chef here in Australia, after having it at his restaurant....
This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....
Welcome to Day 13 of the inaugural Holiday Salad Marathon, where I’m sharing 30 salads in a row through to Christmas Eve – just for something different to the usual sugar-loaded baking countdowns!! Off the back of last weeks’ French(ish) Tomato Salad with Olive Tapenade, I have another French one for you: French Bistro Salad Hearty French bistro classics like steak frites, boeuf bourguignon, French Onion Soup, Quiche Lorraine and Coq au Vin need a light and clean salad on the side to cleanse and refresh the palate … so that you can eat more!...
This chickpea salad tastes as bright as it looks, and works as a main course with crusty bread, or as a side for roasts, fish, prawns or simple pan seared garlic chicken thighs. Chickpea Salad I know it’s tempting to just grab a can of chickpeas, add green fluffage, toss with dressing and call it a day. And that has happened many a times around here, being a handy and somewhat virtuous quick meal option....
Japanese Slaw – Chargrill Charlie’s copycat This recipe was requested by a reader. I was happy to oblige because although I find the Chargrill Charlie’s chicken so-so, their salads are actually pretty good! In fact I’ve done another before, a copycat of their famous Green Bean Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing. So this recipe is a copycat of the Chargrill Charlie’s Japanese Slaw, named as such because the base salad is made using finely shredded cabbage and carrots like western Coleslaw but with the addition of seaweed salad and edamame all tossed with a sesame soy dressing....
Every now and then, I like to do a week of recipes for a themed menu. This week, it’s Jamaican week so you can make your very own Caribbean feast at home! Who’s in the mood for some tropical vibes?? Kicking off Jamaican week with the main – Jerk Fish! Why you need Jerk Fish in your life 🌴 It’s Jamaican – so it’s cool. (Just ask Dozer, below).🌴 Big, bold, Caribbean flavours using everyday spices: garlic, onion, thyme, paprika, all spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne....
Yotam Ottolenghi – I salute you. Chickpea Salad I first published this about a month after I started this website back in 2014. The fact that I, a self confessed Carb/Carnivore/Cheese Monster, published a vegan salad so early on (patience having never been my greatest virtue) and have taken it upon myself to reshoot the recipe, rewrite the post and make a recipe video for a chickpea salad should speak volumes....
Spaniards will probably turn their nose up at this dish. A real Paella is loaded up with seafood and made with homemade fish stock. I only make that on special occasions. I especially love to make a huge pan of it on the outdoor grill because it’s a great way to feed a lot of people. And it’s something a little different to the usual steaks on the grill :)....
So don’t pay a fortune for bland frozen mini quiche…make them at home! Mini Quiche Mini Quiche are literally the perfect finger food: small enough to eat with one hand (while the other is clutching a wine glass like it’s your life line); no need for toothpicks, mini napkins; mess free food – no risk of sauce dribbling down your new white silk top; can be made 2 to 3 days ahead, kept in the fridge or frozen then reheated; they look adorable – and impressive!...
Vietnamese Meatballs for Banh Mi This is a recipe for the Banh Mi pork meatballs which is one of the more popular filling options for Banh Mi, the famous Vietnamese sandwich which I also published today! I was going to include this in the Banh Mi recipe, but it got pretty lengthy so I decided to publish it separately. So because this is an extra recipe, I’m keeping it short and sweet!...
A terrific almost no-cook meal option or a great summer salad for a crowd. This is also how I make prawns (shrimp) stretch further! Summer Salad – Prawns, Mango and Avocado! I’m a bit fussy when it comes to fruit in meals. I never got on board the pork with apple thing. I’m not really a big fan of fruity sauces with roasts unless it errs more towards savoury or tart than sweet....
Now available: the Slow Cooker version of this recipe with a Garlic Butter Gravy! Roast turkey breast The phrase “This side dish recipe is so good, it will steal the show!” is thrown around all too much, and I’m guilty of it myself. But for those of you responsible for the main event – here is a turkey against which no side, no matter how epic, stands a chance. That herby garlic butter…....
Souvla restaurant in San Francisco has a cult following. Regularly hailed as one of the “best places to eat in San Francisco”, my friend Kelly from A Side of Sweet took me there when I was in San Fran just over a week ago. Kelly is a San Fran based blogger who also happens to be an ER doctor. “How the heck do you manage to blog and work 20 hours shifts several times a week?...
Beef Hokkien Noodles Charlie is the name I have given to my All Purpose Chinese Stir Fry Sauce. That’s how fond I am of him – I’ve named him. Charlie – as in Charlie Brown. Everybody say boo, how unoriginal!! 😉 You might laugh that I’ve named him but you won’t laugh if you try him. He’s becoming FAMOUS!!! He’s now not only one of the all time most popular recipes here on RecipeTin Eats, he’s got an entire six page spread in Super Food Ideas Magazine!...
