Saffron and Dill Rice



This rice dish is the perfect accompaniment for a variety of grilled meats such as grilled lamb or fish (take a look at my Oven Baked Garlic and Lemon Salmon recipe), it is also really tasty alongside roasted butternut squash for a really delicious vegetarian meal. 

Ingredients: 

·     2 cups of basmati rice
·     ¼ cup ghee, you can use normal slightly salted butter if you don’t have this
·     ½ cup dill
·     1/8 cup dried mint
·     1 tsp saffron
·     1 tbsp milk

Method: 

1)   Add the rice to a pan with just enough water to cover it and some salt 
2)   When there is only a little bit of water left add the ghee and herbs, and simmer until all the water has evaporated
3)   Once cooked remove 3 tbsps of rice into a separate bowl and mix it with the milk and saffron until the pigment of the saffron coats the rice and it becomes orange

4)   Add the saffron rice to the main rice dish and combine. Enjoy!

Udon Noodle Soup

As a lover of Japanese food, I am always eager to learn how to prepare traditional recipes at home. What I love about this Udon Noodle Soup is just how adaptable it is. The chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable or beef broth and cod can be replaced with prawns, chicken, meat or tofu! You can also add or replace any of the vegetable components to suit you or whatever is in the fridge.  This recipe, however, is by far my favourite combination. The melt-in-the-mouth cod and rich broth create a warming sensation on your taste buds. Whilst the spinach and broccolini add a welcome freshness to liven up the broth and balance the flavours. It is the perfect meal for any day.  Ingredients (serves 2)  For the broth: ·       1 packet of pre boiled udon noodles ·       400 ml chicken/vegetable broth ·       1 medium onion ·       100g spinach...

Fried Liver Served on a Toasted Baguette

Hello! Liver is an extremely underrated cut of meat, many aren't accustomed to it or haven't even tried it at all. However, liver is such a succulent and time saving and cheap cut of meat that I guarantee tastes fantastic. So as they say- don't knock it 'til you try it!
