Chicken Char Siu Recipe

Chicken Char Siu Recipe

I made this Chicken Char Siu for lunch this week, although it can easily be up-scaled for a tasty dinner. It is full of flavours and the kids loved it. I can't stress enough that good food doesn't need to take forever to cook. Most of the meals I cook can be ready super quick. This one is no different, 10-15 minutes to prepare and half an hour to cook.

Roast Pork Fillet with shallots and apple

The middle boy found this recipe online and asked me to try it. I needed to make some adjustments to make it work with the herbs and spices we had in the cupboard. It turned out amazing and will be back on the dinner table again at some point in the near future.

Greek Pork Kebabs

Greek Pork Kebabs - Pork Souvlaki with Greek salad and rice

With the six-monthly family visit to the dentist after school today I needed something fairly quick and easy to cook on our return. I already had the pork from a yellow sticker haul last week. So grabbed that out of the freezer this morning.

These Greek pork kebabs can be cooked on a BBQ but the weather isn't quite there yet, so I used the grill in the oven instead today.


Thai inspired sea bass

After seeing some Sea Bass fillets on the yellow sticker shelf after work today, I grabbed a pack because it would do me for two nights because the kids are at their Mums tonight. I have listed the ingredients to serve two, but could easily be doubled for four people.
