Wholesome finger lickin’ food
This week was full of deliciousness! Some I’ll admit involved a little more effort than usual, but not to say you can’t do something similar with a lot less effort. Check it out!
Asian broccollini with scrambled eggs and avo
Before the week turned out indulgent, I had this for dinner one night. Simple, light, and perfect when I had already had a bit to eat that day.
The seasoning on the broccolini was simply
sesame oil
ginger garlic paste
sesame seeds
soy sauce.
Handmade Semolina Pasta with yellow veg and chicken
I guess it all started because I listened to Stanley Tucci’s ‘Taste’ on Audible. It gave me an insight to pasta I had never had before and it got me inspired! Since listening to the book, I have been more adventurous with my sauces and it has been paying off big time! This one, in particular, was just butter, 1/2 tsp mustard - I, unfortunately, didn’t have garlic and used mustard instead to give a bit of a kick, salt, pepper, some of the pasta cooking water and parmesan cheese. mixed it all together, poured it over the beg and the pasta and let the heat do the magic until everything became deliciously glossy and silky. mmmm
The second thing I learned on Tucci’s book is that Italians don’t often mix their protein in with the pasta, so I simply salted and coated this chicken breast in white wine vinegar and thyme then panfried it gently to serve on the side.
Burrito Bowl
This may not look like your standard burrito bowl, but it was so good I had two and still had plenty of leftovers to play around with later to have different meals.
roast pumpkin
roast brussels sprouts
caramelised onion and capsicum
spicy tomato salsa
brown rice
beans
avocado
what was originally a burger paddy but I decided I didn’t want a burger and wanted this instead so… haha
Change it up!
I had the rice and beans with steak and salad
I ate the pumpkin ina almost every breakfast for the rest of the week with eggs and toast
The ultimate Veg Breakfast Burger
My experimental bread of the week was ciabatta. This was very fun to try as it’s the ultimate sandwich bread that is not a tin loaf bread with Foccacia, I’d say, as a very close runner-up.
Anyway, I tried to make it, and to be honest, although it was definitely not perfect, it was still delicious and I loved what it led me to make.
The ultimate Veg Breakfast Burger
homemade olive oil mayo
roast pumpkin
caramelised onions
panfried tomato on butter
2 fried eggs
lettuce
golden white top mushrooms also in butter and thyme
avocado
in between two halves of my delicious ciabatta roll
Pulled Lamb and slaw sandwich
As the final hero to this weeks fingerlickin’ meals, I made this sandwhich.
In the pressure cooker, I added capsicum, garlic, smoked paprika 2 lamb shanks, half an onion and topped it up with water.
Once it was cooked, I pulled the meat off the bone, seasoned with salt and allowed the sauce to almost evaporate leaving behind just the delicious pulled meat.
Between two halves of my ciabatta I put slaw, the lamb and lettuce and once I bit into it I almost did a chefs kiss.
Would you have out anything else on these?
