Not only are brinjals one of our favourite ingredients at the moment, they are also in season right now and their flavour is super versatile. We chargrilled them and served them with a batch of comforting Moroccan meatballs.
One of the biggest problems when it comes to eating healthy is making sure your snacks are super healthy. These breakfast bars can be enjoyed throughout the day or first thing in the morning to keep you going until your next meal!
These treats are a powerhouse of antioxidant- and energy-rich berries, plant protein and sheer deliciousness. Add a tin of condensed milk into the mix, and no one will be able to resist our crunchie bars.
These thirst-quenching margaritas are perfect for any time of the year and you can personalise them even further by making your own simple syrup.
Waste not, want not! This is wonderfully creative option to serve your guests as a starter or a side option. You can leave the carrot salad slightly warm for the colder months and save when you buy your carrots with their tops still attached from your local market. And if you have some leftover, you can add them to your salad as leafy greens. They are especially delicious sautéed with olive oil and garlic.
This meat-free meal is packed with plant protein and plenty of nutrients as well! And as if a grain salad for dinner isn’t delicious enough, toast your couscous in a frying pan for a few minutes before cooking for an intense nutty flavour that will carry your couscous tabbouleh to new heights.
We love Cape Malay flavours and we bring them to life in these lovely lamb and apricot sosaties. We have all the classic flavours of coriander, turmeric and cinnamon. And if you can’t get hold of Turkish apricots, simply buy some normal dried apricots and peaches and soak them in warm water for 20 minutes to get that plumped effect.
Use a shaker when you have more mixer than spirit. Thicker ingredients such as syrups and cream liqueurs can also mix inconsistently – so they should be shaken. Shaking with ice is a good way to cool down a drink and dilute it for perfect balance. Our favourite shaken cocktail? Why, the Tom Collins!
I’ve got a pile of hot sticky wings for you this #FridayBraaiDay! Quick, easy and messy never tasted this good before.
We are throwing it back this Thursday to when we featured the talented Lungi Nhlanhla in MyKitchen and she shared her bright and beautiful anchovy and sweet potato salad with us. Check her out at Lungi’s Corner for even more deliciousness.
