Miso, Peanut Butter, Pretzel and Pecan Ice Cream with Rum Cherry Compote
One of my ultimate guilty pleasure desserts which never lasts long in the freezer. This is my favourite type of ice cream - sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy and completely moreish paired with a fruity, warm cherry compote. It would also work well with any fruit you have in your freezer (raspberries, strawbs etc). This is a crowdpleaser of a pud which feels grownup but also a little bit like jelly and ice cream you used to get as a kid.
Pork Peanut Noodles
This is such a tasty and comforting recipe. It doesn’t have too many ingredients and they are all easy to access. The peanut sauce is so moreish with lots of yummy soy, ginger and garlic. Crunchy roasted peanuts, sliced chilli and fresh lime all add more layers of flavour and texture. Pork mince is so underrated - it’s cheap, tasty and healthy and should be used more in my opinion.
Ultimate Chicken Satay
Everyone loves chicken satay and that’s because there is everything to love about this dish. Tender baked chicken thighs covered in a rich coconut peanut sauce with a slight hint of chilli heat, salty umami soy and zingy lime. A crunchy grilled topping and sweet honey glaze completes the dish while all you need to serve with it is some steamed basmati rice and sesame wok greens. Simple, but so effective and the perfect midweek meal to impress.
Brussel Sprout, Peanut and Soy Stir-Fry
Sprouts are still in season till the end of March and although we may all be slightly traumatised from the memories of sprouts which have been boiled to smithereens from our childhood, when cooked properly, these little green gems are full of flavour and add great texture to any meal. This is a quick, healthy and delicious vegan meal which is also budget friendly too.
Sesame Soy Chicken Salad with Cucumber Noodles and Peanuts
I made this sesame chicken salad a few weeks ago and it was so tasty and refreshing. Light, healthy and delicious this is the perfect midweek meal for when you fancy something a bit fresher which doesn’t scrimp on flavour. Also ideal for getting rid of those winter blues. Refreshing, tasty and healthy, save this recipe for when you next crave something light and delicious.
Chicken Satay with Mango, Lime, Charred Pineapple and Peanut Salad
Everyone loves chicken satay and this is my go-to recipe for the juiciest, most succulent chicken thighs in a moreishly aromatic peanut marinade. With a fresh mango, lime, carrot and charred pineapple salad it is fresh, healthy and full of flavour and texture.
