Slow-roasted marmalade pork
This is a great dish to serve to guests as it looks amazing, but takes less than 5 mins to get oven ready. The meat is also delicious the next day in sandwiches or a salad.
Perfect served with some jacket potatoes, coleslaw and salad.
Perfect lemon drizzle cake
This is such a delicious treat, but so simple to make. Most of these things are store cupboard staples too, so perfect if you just feel like rustling something up.
Aloo Gosht – Another quick curry
This is a delicious, traditional curry. It is usually made with Lamb, but we made it with some leftovers from a Sunday roast, which was gorgeous. You could also be extra healthy and just use vegetables with the potato, even subbing for sweet potatoes, which are healthier still. The great thing about curries is that you can play around with them as you like – use this as your base and you can’t go wrong!
Lemon and Hot water
This is a simple thing to do on a daily basis which offers numerous health benefits… it will kickstart your immune system, it helps to flush toxins, aids digestion and can even help with weight loss – what a way to start the day!!!
If you are not keen on the lemon and water on it’s own, add some lemon juice, or slices to a cup of weak black tea (or green tea) and you will still benefit.
Homemade Takeaway style spiced onions
A really quick snack to rustle up with some poppadoms. Yum yum!
Sausage carbonara (linguine alla carbonara di salsiccia)
This is very tasty variation on carbonara. Getting good Italian sausages is a must. These should be available in a good supermarket.
Homemade Mince meat and mince pies
These are delicious, so much better than shop bought! Happy Christmas. 🙂 You can even give this lovely mincemeat as gifts for Christmas, a great addition to any Chrsitmas hamper!
Christmas Eve Poached Salmon
This is a great dish to make before Christmas Day if you have friends or family round but don’t want to eat something heavy before the big day. Then again its great to have any time of year. Best served with potato salad http://www.myingredients.com/recipes/homemade-potato-salad/ and samphire.
