Onthou jy dié kindertyd-raaiselrympie? ‘So groen soos gras, so wit soos was, so rooi soos bloed, so suikersoet – wat is dit?’ En jy vergeet nie sommer weer dat die antwoord waatlemoen is nie. Dalk lyk hierdie resep na ’n effens vreemde kombinasie, maar dis altyd ’n wenner. Die hoef ook nie net op ’n slaaibord te wees nie. Ryg die bestanddele op stokkies en maak dit deel van ’n peusel- of kaasbord. Vir peuselstokkies werk ’n sagte mozzarella beter, omdat dit makliker ryg.

There are few ingredients that demonstrate the flavour-synergy (one plus one equals more than two) as well as basil and tomato. This combination is perfect as a salad, but do also try it on a sandwich.

Savoury rice can turn a simple piece of chicken or fish into a special meal. Choose any rice you like, although basmati rice is my favourite in this dish, as the aromatic flavours, spices and nuts work very well together. Basmati rice cooks much quicker, than plain white rice.

Kool en spek is ’n bekende kombinasie en beide is ekstra lekker as dit gerooster is. Die soetsuur smaak van mosterd is perfek in hierdie eenvoudige, maar geurige bygereg. Moenie die kool te lank rooster nie, want dit moet net gaar en beslis nie pap wees nie. Die twee kleure kool lyk mooi, maar net witkool sal dit ewe lekker wees.

Sometimes I can imagine the flavours of a dish before I actually make it. That is exactly what happened with this salad. Citrus and cabbage works well and cabbage, cucumber and dill combines well together. Then, surely all four of them should work together? Allow the cabbage and cucumber to marinate in the sauce for a bit to give a slight pickle flavour, but it should still be fresh. That perfect balance between pickled and fresh makes this salad ideal with braaied chicken, pork or fish.

The natural sweetness of apples with fresh mint and coriander, the nuttiness of tahini and pearled wheat and a hint of cumin – makes for an interesting and delicious salad. Apples are such a versatile fruit as they go with many different flavours and ingredients, both sweet and savoury.
