Cheesy mushroom and pork enchiladas

Published on September 29, 2015December 5, 2017 by Teresa Ulyate2 Comments

This recipe went down a treat when I made it at home. Even my Little Miss (who finds the teensiest smidge of black pepper in any meal unbearably exotic) enjoyed it! These rich enchiladas are flavoured with Mexican inspired spices, topped with a double layer of sauce and baked to cheesy perfection in the oven. Get in my belly! As part of the #JoinTheBlendTrend series this recipe is also about blendability and that fabulous ingredient: mushrooms!

These hot wings are perfect for spring and summer entertaining – enjoy them around the braai with friends, serve them up at your next party or munch on them while you cheer on the Springboks (she said optimistically)!

Homemade tomato sauce

In the last few months I have been hearing more and more about sugar, particularly the negative effects it has on body and mind. I have become more conscious of my sugar intake, especially the hidden sugars that lurk in most convenience foods, and thinking of ways to reduce it. Wouldn’t it be great, I thought, to develop some sugar-free versions of some of my family’s favourite condiments, starting with that oh-so-delicious but oh-so-sugary tomato sauce. I started working on a recipe, but then life just got crazy busy and my poor little recipe slowly slipped down the to do list and was forgotten for a few weeks.

Falafel with minted tahini yoghurt

Published on January 16, 2014July 5, 2018 by Teresa Ulyate4 Comments

When it comes to chickpeas there seem to be two distinct camps – people either love ’em or hate ’em! Personally, I could eat chickpeas every day, but I know plenty of people who would not touch them… even with a very long, long barge pole.

The I Made It Challenge: Paneer curry

Published on November 27, 2013January 17, 2019 by Teresa Ulyate7 Comments

The weather man must have known what I had planned in the kitchen yesterday, and kindly arranged a cool and drizzly day in between the gloriously hot summer ones we have been experiencing lately. Perfect for being in the kitchen, and perfect for making a curry!
