This dish here, is my childhood! It was my standard order when we would visit a Portuguese restaurant and is to this day one of my favourite meals, Bife à Portuguesa! It’s a large steak on a layer of prosciutto, topped with a fried egg and surrounded by round cut fried potato chips. With the…
Lunch and Dinner
Asian Swordfish
I found this swordfish absolutely delicious! I grew up eating swordfish, but the kind my grandmother made was always a Portuguese style where it would be the swordfish with the skin and bone cut into very small pieces, floured and pan fried. It was amazing and one of my favourites, but I had never tried…
Beef Rendang
This was a recipe requested by my son after tasting the Beef Rendang at Maha Bunny Restaurant in Bali. He tried Beef Rendang from two other places but they were spicy for him while the one at Maha was mild. In this recipe I actually used a little hack I love and picked up in…
Beef Stroganoff
I know a lot of people favour a slow cooker recipe these days for Beef Stroganoff, but I’ve tried several and none I’ve tried are as nice as a Beef Stroganoff done in a regular pot! When I was a kid Beef Stroganoff was an all-time favourite, but it was that packet mix stuff rather…
Chicken and Leek Rissoles
These are definitely one of my favourite rissole recipes! Leek is absolutely delicious and I love adding it to dishes wherever I can. Chicken and leek happen to go very well together so when I was trying to decide what to do with the chicken mince in my freezer, these Chicken and Leek Rissoles popped…
Chicken Eggplant Prosciutto Roll Ups
This is of course based off my Steak and Prosciutto Roll Ups, except using chicken and with the addition of fried eggplant to really give it that similarity to the old Eggplant Parmigiana I used to love so much. These are made with my Homemade Passata and are awesome fun to get the kids helping…
Bunless Burgers
Bunless Burgers! Everyone’s always looking for the perfect replacement low carb bun, but do we really need a bun? Of course not! Don’t underestimate how awesome a burger can be without the bun. After all, the fillings are where all the good bits are! I used to crave burger buns when I first started low…
Steak and Prosciutto Roll Ups
I love these Steak and Prosciutto Roll Ups! They remind me of a parmigiana and are made using my Homemade Passata. The addition of cream makes this a filling meal in itself without the need to add pasta subs like zoodles or konjac noodles, but you can of course add these if you like. They…
Lemon Butter Chicken
This Lemon Butter Chicken turned out so much better than expected with the butter and cream making a lovely sauce that was nice and thick. I literally was just grabbing things I had on hand and adding them in as I went, I really didn’t have a clear idea of this recipe when I started….
Keto Paella
I tried konjac rice once while doing low carb, back when I first started and bought a bulk amount. I was missing rice, not so much the taste, but the way it soaks up sauces from stir fries and curries. So the konjac rice sounded perfect to use as a replacement. Unfortunately I hated it…
