Sichuan Aubergines - Vegan, DF and GF

This was very tasty and not spicy hot, just spicy flavourful... Simple and quick to make and if you're engaging in shared meals or banquet style dining this would be an ideal inclusion. The aubergine is cut into batons and fried til soft and golden, then the sauce goes into the pan, then the aubergine goes back to get coated in sauce...

Mixed rice with herbs and flaked almonds - Vegan, DF and GF

This one is also quick to make and really tasty. I used a mix of basmati, red rice and brown rice. There's coriander, mint and basil in there, peanuts (which you can sub with hazel nuts of there are allergy issues) and flaked almonds. The lime juice gives it a really fresh flavour!

Chilli tofu - vegan, DF and GF

Sorry, i didn't get this one made last night for photographs! This one is a bit spicy hot, but you can add as much or as little chilli as you and your family enjoy so it will be just fine! The tofu is crispy fried first, then the sauce happens - onion, garlic, cumin, ginger, tomato puree, tamari, a little sugar and capsicum. 

Asparagus and potato frittata - vegetarian, DF and GF

This is pretty self-explanatory really. The potatoes are cut into matchsticks and sauteed with the asparagus (spears snapped in half), then the egg and water mix goes in and you RESIST STIRRING. (this is probably the hardest part of making a frittata). Make sure you've used a frypan that can go in the oven...

Slow-cooked Jamaican lamb with Kumara mash - DF and GF

This is a set and forget wonder in the slow cooker. Prep the meat before work, make the kumara mash when you want to eat it. Easy! There's lime zest and juice, garlic and a heady blend of spices to lend it a Carribean kick...

Roast potatoes with chorizo and thyme - DF and GF

Again, i have no photo so let me paint you a word picture... the potatoes are cubed and combined with crescents of onion, olive oil and some smoked paprika, thyme and S & P. Toss this all together and roast for about half an hour until the onion crescents are soft and caramelised and the potato is golden and crispy around the edges. Add the chopped chorizo and roast for another 15-20 minutes. Done.
