Recipes

Quick and Easy

The following ideas are not so much "recipes" as flavour combinations that can be adapted for your own use at home. All are quick and easy options to put a great tasting meal on the table in no time at all.

• A wicked take on an ancient Thai marinade for chicken, beef and pork. Pound 200g clean coriander root, 100g black peppercorns and 100g peeled garlic then mix in 100mls oil and 50mls fish sauce. Marinate chosen meat a few hours then barbecue, panfry or grill.

• Serve sweet chilli marinated boneless chicken thighs on hot, steamed jasmine rice with salad vegetables and chilli jam.

• Marinate sliced, boned belly pork for 3-4 hours in a little peanut oil, a good sprinkle of fish sauce, ginger juice, a little sugar, crushed garlic and a splash of soy sauce. Barbeque or roast in a hot oven until the fat melts and the pork is crisp. Serve on rice with stir fried bok choy and sweet chilli sauce.

• Cut a chicken through the breast, spread it out flat and pour over lemon juice, lots of crushed garlic, cracked black pepper and fennel, cumin and coriander seeds. Marinate 1 hour then roast in a hot oven until golden, crisp and well cooked. Serve on baked potatoes with a dollop or European-style yoghurt. Follow with green salad

• Bathe a leg of lamb in plain yoghurt into which you have mixed lots of finely chopped rosemary, garlic, mustard seeds and freshly ground black pepper. Roast at a high temperature until medium. Serve on white haricot beans that have been simmered until tender (don’t add salt whilst their cooking or they’ll stay tough) with an onion, a carrot and a stick of celery (which you discard) and then tossed in a little home made tomato sauce. No gravy. Serve with courgettes, eggplant and onions slowly panfried in olive oil then tossed with lemon juice and mint leaves.

• Marinate thinly sliced fat free steak in olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, a little lime juice and ground chillies. Stirfry over very high heat until just cooked and serve as fajitas, with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, coriander leaves, sour cream, avocado and warm tortillas.

• Is there anything more delicious as pan-fried rump steak (with a dollop of wholegrain mustard) that has been marinated in extra virgin olive oil, lots of freshly ground black pepper and crushed garlic? Serve with peeled Agria potato wedges tossed in olive oil and oven baked (200ºC) until crisp and golden (45-60 minutes) and a crunchy salad with vine ripened tomatoes.
