Cauliflower cheese fritters

Make 12 fritters approx

Ingredients

500g cauliflower, grated or blitz to a resemble bread crumbs

3 eggs

1 cup of grated cheese (100g) I used a mix of mozzarella, tasty and a little parmesan

1 tsp salt- I like this amount but you can half this

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp garlic powder

Method

Mix all together. Fry off in some oil in a large pan and using a spoon drop a tbsp of the mix and form a circle, press down slightly like a pancake. Have the heat low to medium so they cook without burning. Turn over when golden brown underneath. Serve up!

This could be an entrée, a veg side dish, or serve with salad or some poached or fried eggs for a breakfast. You could make mini ones and top with smoked salmon crème fraiche or sour cream and a sprig of dill, perhaps a couple of capers. 

Honey BBQ ribs

Ingredients

1.5-2kg ribs or a pork shoulder or lamb shoulder/leg

1 cup of tomato passata

¼ cup of apple cider vinegar or similar

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp celery salt

½ tsp ground cloves

1 tbsp molasses

1 tbsp honey

Method

Mix all the sauce ingredients and put your meat in an ovenproof dish and cover for 2 hours at 150c

Or you can cook in a slow cooker for the day.

If doing pulled pork or pulled lamb you can add 1-2 cans rinsed and drained legumes like butter bean or cannellini beans if you wanted, it’s like bbq baked beans.

I serve up with coleslaw, corn on the cob and some rice. The mayo for the coleslaw I used balsamic vinegar instead of acv and added in some wholegrain mustard at the end.

Here is a video of how to make mayo with a stick blender, it takes just 2 minutes!

Slow cooked satay miso beef

This is a slight variation of satay using miso paste, only a few ingredients in this too which is great! You can get miso paste in the asian section at the supermarket, you can also use it for miso soup, dressings and marinades, thanks to the glutamates it gives a nice umami flavor which is kinda savory/meaty feel to it
