Prawn and spinach-stuffed salmon en croute
This weekend I felt like doing something a bit more involved and trying something new. I’d done a James Martin salmon en croute a few years ago and that was delicious, but I decided to go it […]
Parsley
Cod with tomato and garlic lentils and salsa verde
Puy lentils are high in protein and cholesterol-reducing fibre. They are virtually fat free, and low GI. They’re also very good for heart health. They’re a winner. I added garlic and vitamin C, and more […]
Creamy mushroom ravioli with garlic shrimp butter
I’ve pondered making my own pasta for years but thought it would be too much of a mission. I took the plunge recently and bought a pasta roller and have made ravioli twice now. While I’ve […]
A warm pepper, tomato and quinoa salad
This week is all about low-carb food after the excess of Easter. This salad combines quinoa which is a high protein grain favoured by the Incas, and personally I try not to eat anything that wasn’t […]
Mary Berry parma ham and mushroom pasta
I saw her make this on tv on Saturday morning and thought I’d give it a go. It was really very tasty indeed. If I did it again I think I’d lighten it and make […]
Salmon in a creamy prawn, white wine and garlic mushroom sauce
An idea for a fishy Friday night dinner or an alternative Sunday roast. We had it as a Sunday roast. Salmon is quite a ‘meaty’ fish and worked really well with the roast spuds and […]
A three-fish-course dinner
On Saturday, I had friends round for dinner. I ended up serving three fish courses. I am sure there are rules about not doubling up on fish courses, let along tripling up, but no one […]
Paella – chorizo, prawn, chicken and salmon
This is a bit involved, but not difficult, and if you do it like I did – with some prep beforehand – it won’t take you away to the kitchen for very long when your […]
Cherry tomato, red pepper and mushroom pasta
This was the result of the need to use some nearly questionable vegetables before they became unusable. It resulted in a really lovely pasta sauce. Light, sweet, fruity, with a kick from the lemon and […]
Garlic prawns (or mushrooms), lemon rice and sweet cucumber raita
A prawn is a perfect, pint-sized piece of low fat protein. So I like to serve them smothered in olive oil, on a pillow of pure carbohydrate, next to a dollop of dairy. This is […]
