Mango and Avocado Salsa
This is a great side to have with fish, chicken, steaks… anything really!! It really is all good stuff, so a great thing to have when you are trying to be healthy. You can make this is as spicy or even sweet as you like by varying the amount of chilli, and mango.
Easy Roux, white sauce (Bechamel sauce), and cheese sauce (Mornay sauce)
This is an easy sauce to make for so many different things, macaroni cheese, lasagne, fish pie, cooking fish… all sorts! You can freeze the roux or keep it in the fridge for a few days if you make extra too. The sauce will keep in the fridge for a couple of days too.
Parmesan Aubergines (Parmigana Di Melanzane)
Classic Italian dish and a great way to serve Aubergines (eggplant). This can be served as a side dish or main.
Cactus Salad (Ensalada De Nopalitos)
Big Tescos or Sainsbury’s sometimes have the less familiar ingredients or you can order on line from various online Mexican grocers. This is a perfect a side dish to any Mexican themed party night. I first tried real Mexican food in a brillaint restaurant in Montreal, totally understated and absolutely brilliant. Hard to track down the genuine article in the UK so why not have a try in doing it home made style.
Homemade Potato Salad
This is a delicious potato salad with a wee twist. This is particularly good with fish. 🙂
Homemade Hummus
tasty side dish suitable for dinner parties or just watching the footie or a movie. Best accompanied by pitta bread. try Beth’s Homemade Pittas
Seared Asparagus with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Asparagus is a great veg but can easily be overcooked. This is a perfect way to enjoy it as it stays a bit al dente.
Pol sambol
This is a staple of Sri Lankan cooking which is delicious with rice, bread, salads.
Worth doing if you have the time and want something different and a bit tasty.
It is addictive.
