Ketoprak is a popular street food in Jakarta, consisting of fried tofu, rice vermicelli noodles, bean sprouts and cucumber with a very spicy peanut sauce. Sometimes hard boiled eggs or deep fried eggs are added and the dish often includes rice cakes. I haven’t included rice cakes here as they...

I've got a blog post on the National Garden Association site on my first go at planting garlic. That link is here. I plant my garlic, in a bed, on Halloween for a harvest in midsummer. I was queried about growing in pots and that's not difficult. You'll need at least 8" of soil in the pot and...

It looks so pure and innocent but has such a mischievous side! I've been working on the concept of this dressing for a while. Here is version 1. Its essential to let this dressing rest for at least a couple of hours (or overnight) so that the raw ingredients calm down a little and get to know...

Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes: Keto Garlic Butter Mushrooms. Making them a tempting addition to any meal, whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Mushrooms are my go-to when I want to prepare a quick side dish that also meets my keto goals. Loaded with essential nutrients and low...

Sweet and sour flavours work very well with courgette and aubergine, both of which are rather mild tasting. I added some radishes for a little texture and colour. The final result should produce a little ‘sauce’ under the vegetables and the whole garlic cloves should be just ready to 'squidge'...

In the past, I’ve made several versions of courgette ‘baba ganoush’ and each time added various spices. But here I used only two additional flavours: roasted garlic and toasted sesame oil. I much prefer this version because it has such a lovely smoky flavour. Its very low in calories too, should...

Ribbons of courgette with mussels create a pretty presentation and are very easy to do. Use a ‘Y’ shaped vegetable peeler along the length of the courgettes (or you can use a mandolin) to create the ribbons. I’ve seen these ribbons being called ‘paparadelle’ in some recipes but frankly, they are...

I wanted to recreate the flavors of the baby goat I had on my first night in Athens in 2019. I couldn’t get goat at my local butcher, but I knew the flavors would work well on rack of lamb. I love the results here, but I know I can’t afford to do this very often. Still, I can see doing this...

OK admit it: if a recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, how much do you actually put in? For me, it's always more than is called for and in this instance it might be up to 8 lol... And has there ever been a time when you thought 'I've put in too much garlic!'. (I have not). Also, does garlic...

Link to parent thread: British Indian Restaurant (BIR) cooking Garlic & Ginger paste is a precursor ingredient for BIR cooking and is used in virtually all dishes, so it's useful to have some knocking about in your fridge at all times. You can buy it commercially in a jar, but why pay what the...

My husband is an absolute fan of lamb dishes, especially lamb chops. Over the past several years, I have become fond of lamb as well and have prepared lamb chops at home several times. Near the end of last year, I tasted the braised lamb shanks my husband had ordered at a restaurant (the first...

Barely a recipe really - two ingredients and a bit of preparation time. A shoulder of lamb is good value in the UK. It will feed 4 to 6 people, depending on size. For two people, a half shoulder is about right. Don't stint on the garlic. Similar recipes add little sprigs of rosemary and/or...

If you're from the UK, what are you using to prep your garlic for cooking? Only those NOT using a knife and board for this reply please. As for why UK only, because I want to buy a suitable gadget to easily prep garlic with, and I'm not flying to USA or paying USA shipping charges or elsewhere...

Thought I'd take a departure from Asian dishes and throw out this one. That doesn't mean this isn't chilified to the max though! It uses very hot Birds Eye chillies plus dried chili flakes. What's special about this method (since Aglio e Olio is usually a simple throw-together dish) is that...

It's very popular in my part of th world and originates in Portugal / Mozambique. There are a lot of versions and this is mine. Note that I did use a lot of chili's as I have found that thee heat reduced enormously when cooking over charcoal. If you use the oven, then maybe half the amount. 1...
