Oven-roasted mushrooms with crème fraîche

Oven-roasted mushrooms with crème fraîche

You could almost not get a simpler dish to make if you tried, but the subtle flavours will not be easily forgotten. I have served these mushrooms as a starter or a more luxurious salad. It’s also delicious on toasted Italian bread or skewered on a stick as a canapé with drinks. Use as a ‘sauce’ on a piece of steak or a chicken fillet. Choose a variety of ordinary and wild mushrooms for an interesting taste.

Roasted cauliflower, sweet potato & chickpeas

Roasted cauliflower, sweet potato & chickpeas

Have you tasted the fabulous combination of roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower and chickpeas before? Roasting veggies brings out the best in them. It’s also a quick and easy cooking methods, as the oven does most of the work. The cauliflower gets a lovely nutty taste, and the natural sweetness of onions and sweet potatoes is absolutely delicious when roasted. And you know I am the cumin queen so that’s why my favourite spice is used in this recipe and it pairs beautifully with the potatoes, cauliflower and chickpeas. The herby yoghurt sauce rounds this veggie main or side dish off perfectly!

This salad is made for a crowd, just perfect to make at your next braai when you need to feed lots of tummies. Unlike a heavy mayonnaise-based coleslaw this slaw is light and refreshing! The Asian-inspired dressing with soya sauce, ginger and chilli pairs perfectly with the sweet pineapple and crunchy veggies. 

Broccoli salad with cooked mustard dressing

This cooked mustard dressing is a healthier alternative to mayonnaise and is also delicious with other salads, potatoes, in a slaw, or drizzled over lightly cooked green beans. In this recipe the dressing is divine over the steamed broccoli, sweet, crisp apples and crunchy toasted sunflower seeds. This is a salad like no other!
