Crispy Chermoula Salmon and Couscous Salad

A quick Middle Eastern spice paste packed with fresh herbs and woody whole spices is the perfect marinade for this grilled succulent salmon with satisfyingly crispy skin.

Maltese Open Sandwich

Hobz biz-zejt literally means ‘bread with oil’ and that is pretty much the basis of this sandwich. It is to Malta what bruschetta is to Italy. It is so simple to throw together, but the joy is in the making – and eating!

@masterchefau elimination night with another @reecehignell inspired sticky-sweet pimped noodle bowl. Tonight: chicken with broccolini, enoki mushroom and chives. . . . #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodbloggersofinstagram #homecook #foodie #homecooking #gaycook #heresmyfood #onmyplate #frommykitchen #homecooksofinstagram #imadethis #foodbloggersofadelaide #pimped #pimpednoodles #pimpmynoodles #asian #asianfood #noodles

Pimped Sweet and Spicy Pork Noodles | Tonight, I was inspired by @reecehignell ‘s pimped pork noodles from the recent @masterchefau pimped 2 minute noodle challenge. I’ve been thinking about Reece’s noodle (not a euphemism) for days now, and I may have a new quick work night wonder to add to the canon. I used instant mi goreng noodles which I boiled in all of the seasonings and oils - I remember @fooderati saying ‘make sure you remember the flavour sachets, they are full of flavour!’ - so while I intended to serve these as dry noodles, I used the seasonings as a broth to infuse the noodles. 600g pork mince was fried in peanut oil in a hot wok until brown, and then I folded through a chopped red chilli, 4 chopped spring onions and about 1/2 a cup of chopped garlic chives before setting aside. In the same wok, I added about 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, juice of 2 limes and 1/3 cup fish sauce and allowed to bubble and turn sticky. I returned the pork mixture to the wok and coated it well in the sauce before adding a bunch of chopped broccolini, picked coriander leaves and a big handful of bean sprouts. To serve, drain the noodles and serve in bowls topped with the sweet and spicy pork mince garnished with chopped peanuts and fried shallots (these came with the noodle packs, so, winning!) Husband says ‘You would so win immunity with this!’ We’ll see! . . #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodbloggersofinstagram #homecook #foodie #homecooking #gaycook #heresmyfood #onmyplate #frommykitchen #homecooksofinstagram #imadethis #foodbloggersofadelaide #masterchef #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia #noodles #pimpmynoodles #pimpednoodles #asianfood #twominutenoodles #instantnoodles #instantnoodle

Breakfast Tortillas | Eggs poached in a spicy Mexican chorizo and black bean salsa on fried tortillas with all the goods: guacamole, cheese, sour cream, corn and jalapeño . . #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodbloggersofinstagram #homecook #foodie #homecooking #gaycook #heresmyfood #onmyplate #frommykitchen #homecooksofinstagram #imadethis #foodbloggersofadelaide #brunch #mexican #mexicaneggs #breakfast #sunday

Sunday brunch when the godson comes to visit calls for something special. Ok, he’s way too little to enjoy eggs poached in a Mexican spicy chorizo and black bean salsa, and the bubbles, obviously, but he enjoyed munching on a warmed tortilla. I’ll pop the recipe up on the blog a little later, but basically start by caramelising some chorizo, add capsicum, spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne and oregano), some tinned tomatoes (@muttipomodoroau whole peeled, in this case, to retain some texture), water, a whole red chilli and black beans. Simmer for about 20 mins then a further 5 or 10 on high heat with lid off to reduce and thicken slightly before cracking in eggs to poach. See the next post for the assembled breakfast tortillas! . #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodbloggersofinstagram #homecook #foodie #homecooking #gaycook #heresmyfood #onmyplate #frommykitchen #homecooksofinstagram #imadethis #foodbloggersofadelaide #brunch #mexican #mexicaneggs #breakfast #sunday
