Tuna Salad ❤️I used to eat this salad every

Tuna Salad ❤️I used to eat this salad every day when I was at my best. Easy to meal prep, gluten free, balanced, filling and loads of possible variations. I loved it.This month I took the time out to focus on my routine; I wasn't doing anything 'properly' including eating. It was haphazard, random and unsustainable.For my everyday salad I keep the base simple - baby spinach; it keeps well throughout the week, good source of iron and I can use it in omelettes, cooked for dinner or in sandwiches throughout the week if I want.My add ons are usually chopped tomatoes, sliced red/white onions, pickles/cucumbers & olives. They all add lots of extra flavour & texture but are uncomplicated and I can use them throughout the week in other ways.My protein is usually tuna as it requires no cooking or prep. So I don't get bored sometimes I opt for grilled chicken/Turkey, smoked mackerel or sweet potatoes/chick peas instead.I personally love the tilda pre cooked rice packs when I'm meal prepping because they're just so convenient. Of course I can cook rice 🤣 but sometimes I honestly don't have time and can't be bothered. The brown rice & quinoa is great in the salad; I heat up half the pack, add it on top and I love it! If I don't have any of these I will use quinoa on its own instead or bulgar wheat is a good choice. You can eat rice cold but I find that the quinoa & bulgar wheat work better cold if you don't have access to a microwave.For my dressing this week I had honey mustard that I shared previously when I did my Sunday dinner salmon salad but sometimes I make a vinaigrette or just a simple EVOO, lemon juice, salt & pepper dressing will do.To finish I always add a little ground mixed pepper corns & flake salt to my tuna. I only buy tuna in olive oil because why would you buy anything else?!🧐#homecooking #homecooked #homemade #lunchideas #tuna #foodporn #food #salad #saladideas #saladrecipe #midweekmeals #londonfoodie #healthyrecipes #tunasalad #discoverunder5k #easyrecipes #easyrecipesathome #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreeeats #mealprep #mealpreplife #mealprepideas

Black Garlic ❤️When normal garlic bulbs are

Black Garlic ❤️When normal garlic bulbs are kept for weeks at low temperatures in a humid environment, the enzymes that give fresh garlic its sharpness break down. Those conditions also facilitate the Maillard reaction, the chemical process that produces wild new flavor compounds responsible for the deep taste of seared meat and fried onions (bonappetit.com)Once aged, black garlic is totally different to raw garlic, offering up a much more mellow taste, but with huge complexity and depth, a sweet/savoury umami flavour and tasting notes of molasses, tamarind, caramel, dates and much more (blackgarlic.co.uk)There's so many ways you can use black garlic in your cooking; I tend to use it in sauce, soups & stews. It's great in pasta & vegan dishes.

Cherry & Blackberry Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings ❤

Cherry & Blackberry Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings ❤️I had some leftover blackberries and cherries from my M&S fruit haul so I decided to make a bbq sauce inspired by @thekitchenista. I've been enjoying cooking on Sunday's again; work life balance is so important!I added 2 chipotle chillis to this recipe and honestly that was a little too much. It was spicier than I wanted but the flavour was top notch.Drizzled some fir & pine tree on top of the wings to subdue the heat from the chillis.150g Cherries
200g black berries
200g passata
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 black garlic cloves, finely chopped
Chipotle chillis to taste
10g fresh ginger, grated
80g cup @billingtonsuk molasses sugar
80g pine & fir tree honey
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tbsp ground mixed peppercorns
A little vanilla bean paste
Smoked salt to tasteSweated onions in sunflower oil. Added garlic, ginger & rehydrated chillis. Sautéed for a few mins and then added the fruit, passata, molasses, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ACV, mustard, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg & mixed peppercorns. Brought it all back to a boil and then left to simmer on a medium heat for 30 mins. Once it had reduced (not too much) purée and then strain to remove blackberry seeds. Put it back on a low heat & added salt to taste and vanilla bean paste. Yum 🙂Tasted like a BBQ sauce that I bought from a shop honestly. Will make a larger batch in the summer time as it will be perfect on some grilled meats. For now I will be using it on wings or as a dipping sauce.#homecooking #homecooked #homemade #bbq #bbqsauce #foodporn #food #sauce #chickenwings #chickenwings🍗 #sundaydinner #londonfoodie #wings #weekendbrunch #discoverunder5k #easyrecipes #easyrecipesathome #homegrownveggies #zerofoodwaste

Breakfast Potatoes ❤️- no recipe just vibes and...Potatoes parboiled in salted water
Sautéed in Duck fat
Himalayan black salt
Smoked garlic granules
Smoked paprika
Onion granules
Ground mixed peppercorns
Dried mixed herbsI wish I got a better pic but I didn't 🙂Himalayan black salt (aka Kala Namak) is particularly popular in Asian & Indian cuisine & has a pungent, savoury, and umami flavour. Due to its subtle, sulfurous aroma similar to eggs, it’s used in vegan cooking to provide an egg-like flavour.Himalayan black salt has less sodium that normal salt so it has a more in-depth flavour but is less "salty". Sometimes I use it alongside a pinch of normal salt but not too much!#homecooking #homecooked #homemade #breakfastideas #breakfast #foodporn #food #brunch #brunchideas #sundayvibes #sundaydinner #londonfoodie #healthyrecipes #weekendbrunch #discoverunder5k #easyrecipes #easyrecipesathome #duckfat #homegrownveggies #homegrown #roastedpotatoes #potatoes

Last week's Sunday Dinner ❤️Thinking about last weeks dinner as I try to decide what to eat this week. I wanted a salad that was still giving Sunday dinner vibes & this exactly what I wanted 😌 I used potatoes from my back garden 😀Brining salmon is great for increasing the flavour and also greatly reducing the amount of albumin (white stuff) that is produced during the cooking process. Personally I don't rinse the fish after brining as I like the flavour but be mindful that if you don't, you won't need to add any extra salt when seasoning/cooking.1 cup water: 1 tbsp of sea saltUse enough brine to cover all of the fish and leave for at least 10 mins but I prefer at least a couple of hours or overnight for best results.-Salmon brined in sea salt water & then pan fried until crispy

Ntaba - Grilled Goat Meat from @brazzabrixtonNice and juicy with a super spicy pepper sauce on the side. I would have liked it more smokey in flavour as I think that's one of highlights of Ntaba but I enjoyed it all the same 🙂#popbrixton #congolesefood #londonrestaurants
