Birthday treat!
So, it was my birthday yesterday, yeay!
With it being a 'school' night we didnt go out but I got free reign on choice of tea.
This is an old classic in our house that just got forgotten about!
so first things first, get the roasted veg on (click here for recipe)
then you get to chill out for 15 minutes before starting on the cous cous.
Cous cous -
Finely dice a red onion and cook it in saucepan on a medium heat with a glug of olive oil.
Also add 1shake each of paprika, cumin, garlic and two shakes of turmeric. After a minute or so of stirring put the kettle on and tip enough cous cous for two (it doubles in size) stir until all the cous cous is covered in the oil and spices add a handful of raisins or other dried fruit, a handful of sundried tomatoes and a pinch if cinnamon. Turn the heat off and pour over the boiling water until everything in the pan is covered with 1cm / 1/2 inch extra. Leave for 5 mins for all the water to be absorbed.
Lamb steaks-
Season and oil the lamb steaks and simply fry over a high heat ( if you have any in the fridge add a splash of wine to the pan as you turn them over, helps them keep really soft)
Simply serve with some minty yoghurt drizzle (mix some plain yoghurt with mint sauce)
We also had some cheesy garlic mushrooms!
enjoy xx
Plein Temps Tout?
Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!
