  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

 This is enough to cover 3 racks of ribs

Recipe - Pesto




Pesto is easy!

Here’s how …

Simply put all of the following into a Mortar and Pestle (for the truly devoted). Or, do what I did and use a small food processor…
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 10g Pecorino cheese
  • 10g Parmesan cheese
  • 40g Basil
  • 15g/1 tbsp Pine nuts
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • salt and pepper

I put my pesto on:

  • Pasta
  • Beans and potatos
  • Pasta with beans and potaoes
  • Chicken bake

Recipe - Fish and Peach Salsa


This recipe serves 2. It really can be made with any stone-fruit - this time I used plums

  • 2 pieces of fish of your choice
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 Spanish onion, diced
  • 2 peaches or other stone fruit
  • 1 chilli finely chopped
  • 3 sprigs of thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (squeezed from an orange vs. bought)
  • Rice to serve

Method:
  • Add olive oil to the pan
  • Add at 2 minute intervals:
    • Spanish onion
    • Peaches
    • Chilli
    • Sprigs of thyme
    • Paprika
    • Balsamic vinegar
    • Orange juice
  • Cover and let stew for approx. 5 minutes or until peaches are starting to soften and the Spanish onion has definitely softened
  • Remove thyme sprigs
  • Pan fry fish any way you like
  • Serve fish with salsa on the side, with rice.
