Pide Turkish Pide has been my Secret Food Shame* for as long as I can remember. Not authentic, freshly made Pide crafted lovingly by the hands of someone’s Turkish grandma. I’m talking about the greasy, low-rent versions sold from hot glass cabinets at late night takeaway shops, filled with cheap cheese and piles of meat shaved from giant Doner Kebab punching bags turning lazily on vertical rotisseries. It’s a bit wrong, I know, but I cannot help myself....

this recipe Quick + Easy BLT Chicken Salad We love how quick and easy this chicken salad comes together! You can use leftover chicken to make this as quick and easy as possible, or make a batch of shredded chicken in your crockpot. Just add your chicken and some bone broth or salsa and cook it on high for three hours or on low for six hours. We love having leftover chicken just so we can make this BLT chicken salad!...
This deliciously easy spaghetti Bolognese recipe is so simple to make that you can’t hate on it. Spaghetti Bolognese or Spag Bol as fondly called in the UK is one recipe, I make all the time. A little confession here, I have never made it the Italian way and one of the reasons is that I don’t have that time and patience to simmer the meat sauce for about 1 to 2 hours....
🌶 Welcome back to Indian Week! 🌶 It’s Indian Week here at RecipeTin Eats! And week where I’m sharing 4 brand new Indian recipes so you can make your very own feast at home: Samosa recipe If you think of an “Indian snack”, probably the first image that pops into mind is the humble Samosa. These little fried parcels of flaky-yet-tender pastry, stuffed to the brim with spiced potatoes and other ingredients, are pretty much my idea of the world’s greatest savoury snack....
It’s so good in fact, that even my kids agree to eat it! So if you too have reluctant vegetable eaters in your house, you should definitely give it a try. I love spinach, but not surprisingly, my kids are not fans. So I’m always looking for ways to make this vegetable more palatable for them. This recipe is an easy and tasty way to cook fresh spinach. As it turns out, if I add enough butter, even The Picky Eater usually agrees to have some!...
Fortunately, this shredded beef stew recipe is one of the latter. Erica had the idea to make a stew but we didn’t have any plans for exactly what would go in it. With some experimentation and a little luck, we ended up with this: Don’t you want to grab a spoon and dig in? Instead of using traditional chopped stew meat we used a chuck roast we had on hand and shredded the roast to create a shredded beef stew....
This simple garlic butter recipe is great to have in the fridge and is so versatile.I’ve even been known to spread it onto corn-on-the-cob and use as a dip with dough balls and pizza crusts (the kids idea) but it worked a treat! But what I really love to use this garlic butter for is on top of a good steak, one slice will melt beautifully into the meat and form its own little sauce just for me, trust me if you have ten minutes to spare, this will be a game changer to have in your fridge....
“Very few stir fries can be converted into a slow cooked version without compromising flavour or texture. Beef and broccoli was made for it.” Have you noticed that when you order Chinese that the meat is always incredibly tender? It’s not because they are made with expensive fillets. It is because of a technique used to tenderise the meat called “velveting”. All you do is marinate the meat in cornstarch and sauces....
Also see Asian market shopping list. Soy Sauce – 3 main types The mains types of soy sauce are: You can interchange light soy sauce and all purpose soy sauce in recipes. But you must NEVER use dark soy sauce unless a recipe calls for it – it is very strong and will overpower the dish! Difference between each type of soy sauce Here’s the main difference between each of them:...
Ready in about 20 minutes, this easy recipe takes full advantage of leftover spaghetti squash. I love spaghetti squash! The way you can rake its flesh back and forth and create beautiful pasta-like strands is magical. And it’s such a great alternative to starchy side dishes. A fun way to use up leftover spaghetti squash is to make these tasty fritters. I love making them for my family because everyone enjoys them so much - they truly are wonderfully flavorful....
Berry Season – My Favorite Season I think summer produce (and sunshine) are what make this my favorite time of the year! Blueberries are my favorite, and Justin’s mom has a bunch of mature blueberry bushes that yield the juiciest and most luscious blueberries! They are perfect for this spinach blueberry salad! We’ve made this with blueberries, but I have to think that you could easily substitute other berries like blackberries or raspberries and end up with a real tasty dressing!...
Updated for 2018 with video! Telling you that these chicken wings always go down well is a serious understatement. The first time I made them a couple of years ago, Chris was at work, so I served them up to the kids and got the following responses: Complete silence for the first 10 minutes (except the sounds of frantic chewing/crunching) Eyes rolling back in heads Phrases like ‘you’re the best mummy ever’, ‘we’re so lucky to have a mummy who’s a food blogger’ and ‘oh my gosh these are the best things I’ve ever tasted’...
HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM OK, so you might know an ice cream specialist or a fancy pants restaurant that makes a stellar strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries, and it really truly tastes of strawberries. So it’s a bit bullish to say this homemade strawberry ice cream recipe has flavour money can’t buy. But if we’re talking about everyday strawberry ice cream sold in tubs at supermarkets and even gourmet stores, then this is off the charts compared to them....

Kitchen Hacks Lasagna Pasta Sheet Trick Boiling lasagna sheets is an extra step that we would all love to avoid. No-boil lasagna noodles, in our opinion, have an unpleasant texture and often turn out soggy. A hack to skip boiling is to place regular lasagna sheets in a 9×13 pan and pour hot water over them. Let them soak for 30 minutes, and they’ll be tender enough to use in the recipe....
Watermelon Feta Salad with Basil Recipe Who would have thought pairing watermelon with feta cheese would be so refreshing! It is like heaven in a bowl, the sweetness from the fruit, salty feta cheese, and fresh herbs (basil) with simple salad dressing complement each other so well. It is a perfect summer salad everyone would love. Feta cheese is not everyone’s cup of tea but paired with watermelon will make you change your mind....
I’ve written before about the “proper” way to make pastas. The way Italian Nonna’s do. The way real Italian restaurants do. It’s not about using loads and loads of sauce. The magic step that makes all the difference between a decent pasta and a really great one is tossing the pasta gently with the sauce and some of the pasta cooking water, just before serving. What this does is activate the starch in the water and it mingles with the oil in the sauce, so it becomes glossy and luscious and coats every strand of pasta....
