Grilled lamb chops with pesto sauce


Aussie lamb is without a doubt the best in the world and lamb chops are my absolute favourite. Succulent and tender, Aussie lamp chops are popular around the world and you have to see to believe how expensive they are overseas.

Just be grateful that you can grab a pack of fresh lamb chops from your local Coles or Woolies so easily - and cheap too!


This recipe is very simple and involves very little marinating of the lamp chops because they taste so great in itself that over marinating could easily overpower the natural flavours of the lamb.

All up, this recipe took me less than 20 minutes to prepare and cook so if you're after lamb chops to satisfy a craving, this is it!

Ingredients:

Lamb chops
Eggplant
Zucchini
Mashed potato
Salt
Black Pepper
Gravy or Pesto Sauce


Method:

1) Cut the lamb chops into long pieces if they aren't already cut in the packaging.

2) Cut the eggplant and zucchini into slices (roughly one slice per lamb chop). The thickness of the slices can vary according to the individual but try cutting them to the same thickness so cooking times won't vary.

3) Add salt and black pepper to the lamb chops, eggplant and zucchini.

4) Pan fry the lamb chops 2-3 minutes, add the eggplant and zucchini. Flip the chops over.

5) Depending on the thickness, the lamb chops are usually cooked to at least medium rare in 5-6 minutes time. Pour over some hot ready-made gravy or pesto sauce and enjoy your meal.

The sauce in this pasta is definitely one of the richest tomato sauces I have ever tasted. The red wine gives it such a deep red colour and full-bodied taste; it simply looks like it has been brewing for a decade, concentrating the flavours to the last drop.

Spiralli with bacon, tomatoes and cream
Spiralli with bacon, tomatoes and cream

So I’ve been feeling “under the weather” so to speak for the last few days. And you know how when you aren’t feeling particularly well, you don’t really feel like going to much trouble doing anything, cooking included. So there I was contemplating whether to eat instant noodles (gasp!) when I thought to myself, if I eat food with “not much nutrients” I might potentially NEVER get better. (A tad overdramatic, I know) Thus, stunned into the black hole of *potential sickness for f-o-r-e-v-e-r* I decided to cook up some wholesome food to feed the soul.

Tapenade twists

Life a bit too straight? Why not twist it up with some deliciously crispy tapenade twists! All the goodness of pastry with olive tapenade to give it a savoury kick! They’re great as a nibbly before the main meal! And conveniently you can make them really simply and easily at the last minute! I ate mine with a cheese fondue and it was great! Dipping these little twists in lots and lots of melted cheese is very fun and delicious! Too bad you can’t do it too often, otherwise it can be rather unkind on the waistline. Also don't get scared of the olive tapenade. I will freely agree that it can look rather *suspicious*, but never fear, it is delicious!

Vegetables with Garlic-scented Miso Sauce


Miso is one of my favourite Japanese flavours and is created by adding salt and yeast to steamed soybeans and letting it ferment and ripen. Varying the salt content and duration of the ripening process creates different types of either white or red miso while rice, barley and bean miso varieties are made depending on the yeast used.

Home-made fries!

Home-made fries!

I have a confession! Despite eating some of the most delicious foods in the world, even if it’s a taste sensation, a mouthgasm if you will, some time later in the near future I eventually get a craving for fries! That’s right! The humble old potato, spud, little tuber, little Frenchy, yes for some unknown reason, every now and then I just feel like eating you! It is rather strange, because I know that French fries aren’t really “good” for you, and I know that they are 100% ‘starchy-carby-not-much-nutri ents-at-all’, and yet I still love eating them!

The beauty of oysters - besides the fact that they taste absolutely divine - is they can be eaten freshly shucked, raw, smoked, boiled, baked, fried, roasted, stewed, etc. etc. Preparation can also be very simple or very elaborate, depending on your mood
