Chicken Fajitas (8)

This used to be my go to recipe for chicken fajitas and despite many years passing its still a favourite. It came from a BBC Good Food magazine but i have no idea who the author was. You can use raw prawns or beef instead of the chicken if you like.

Oyster Mushroom Noodles (2)

A vegetarian noodle dish with Eastern European influences. Be patient when you are frying the onions- they need to be caramelised slowly so do not be tempted to rush them. My supermarket had no fresh egg noodles but they did have Lentil Protein Noodles and they worked well. Don’t be put of by the long list of ingredients- its quite easy to prepare. The recipe is from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage and is so good i will make it on repeat.

Vanessa’s De Beauvoir Chutney ( 5x 500g jars)

An excellent chutney which used to be sold in the De Beauvoir Deli in Southgate Road, Islington. I found the recipe in ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island” by Debora Robertson. It will improve over time and is best stored for a couple of months in a cool dry place before opening.Unopened jars will keep for a year Once opened, store in the fridge and eat within two weeks.

Pork and Halloumi Balls (4)

A great combination of flavours from Nigel Slater.

Courgette, Black Olive and Rice Gratin (4)

A summer favourite from Claire Thomson’s ” Home Cookery Year”. It is best served warm rather than piping hot. Serve with a green salad. You can use the same method and switch around the summer vegetables- baked cherry tomatoes, fried squash or blanched broad or green beans will all work well.
