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.

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!

Die kleurvolle pastei met ’n meer Mediterreense gevoel as ’n tradisionele hoenderpastei, lyk feestelik op ‘n tafel en lok altyd baie komplimente uit. Die geroosterde groente en hoender is heerlik saam met die pesto en suurroom. Die gereg is perfek vir ’n ligte maaltyd of aandete met ’n groen slaai en selfs indrukwekkend genoeg om vriende mee te onthaal.

’n Gewone wortelslaai sal nooit weer dieselfde wees as jy eers hierdie weergawe met Oosterse geure gemaak het nie. Die slaaisous is gesonder as die tradisionele mayonnaise-sous en tog so lekker. Dit kan vir ander slaaie ook gebruik word, veral ’n groen slaai met vrugte, soos appels en druiwe of groente soos groenboontjies en broccoli. Dit pas by die gemmer en sojasous-mengsel. Onthou dat sojasous baie sout bevat, so maak seker jy het ’n ligte southand.

Veggies can brighten up any meal and this combination of brinjal, baby marrows, red pepper, tomatoes and onions is not only colourful but delicious too. The topping of cheese, herbs and lemon rind, is much healthier than a rich cream based sauce, often used for side dishes like a potato bake. This side dish is bound to become the favourite at your next braai.
