Ditch the store-bought one and make your own fresh-as-can-be pesto! I've swapped basil for snow peas and flat parsley to make this vibrant and versatile Italian sauce – toss through pasta, stir through roasted potatos and vegetables, use as a pizza sauce, spread on bread and more. Once made, fresh pesto is best used straight away, but will keep for a few days in a sealed container in the fridge.

A delicious stuffed quince recipe with red lentils, grape tomatoes and dill. It's easy to make, and very tasty, verstatile and filling--a perfect Fall meal. Like apples and pears, quinces are great to use for the savoury dishes. In this easy stuffed quince recipe, the fruit is first poached in lemon water, then stuffed and baked. It's very difficult to hollow out raw quinces as they are hard, so poach them until soft before you can cut them up and stuff them, but you can do this in advance.

Piri piri (or peri peri / peli-peli) chicken, a very popular Portuguese dish, is traditionally made with piri piri chilli peppers which originated in South Africa, and were imported to Portugal from two Portuguese colonies, Angola and Mozambique. However, you can use any hot chilli such as bird’s eye chilli, or a even chilli paste (I used sambal olek here) to make the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for 4-6 hours for the optimum flavor and texture. You don't want to marinate it longer than overnight as the marinade contains accid which will result more stringy and dry chicken if you leave it too long. Serve this easy one-pan traybake with rice (to soak up the extra sauce), a salad or potatoes for a wonderful weekday meal.

These sweet little buns are buttery, light, and fluffy with a sweet coconut filling. Serve them as breakfast, a snack or even dessert that no one can resist. If you don't care about the coconut, then use this enriched dough recipe for the cinnamon buns. They will stay fresh in a plastic box at room temperaute for 2-3 days, but of course nothing can beat devouring them still warm, fresh from the oven of course. Freeze the rest in the freezer bags for a rainy day.

A simple gluten free appetizer or snack that is ready in no time and will be a real crowd-pleaser. Bursting with flavour, it will be hard to have just one of these sweet and savoury morsels. If desired, wrap bacon around each stuffed date and secure with toothpick. Bake for 15 minutes until bacon is crisp. I garnished them with some fresh sage leaves, but next time I would make some crispy sage leaves to top the stuffed dates. If you don't have pecans, just substitute equal amounts of walnuts, macadamia, pistachios or hazelnuts.

A quince looks like a mixture of apple and pear - no wonder, because the three pom fruits are closely related. But unlike apples and pears, a ripe quince still has a hard texture. Their taste is aromatic, fruity and lemony - but only when cooked. The fruits are full of healthy nutrients. Besides plenty of potassium, quinces provide minerals and trace elements such as sodium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese and fluorine, which are responsible for cell metabolism and oxygen transport in the body, among other things.
The quince are not suitable for raw consumption. They are not poisonous, but mostly hard, woody and bitter. The flesh only develops its aromatic, tart flavour when cooked, when the acids and bitter substances disappear. Quince can be roasted, stewed, pureed, poached, baked, made into jelly, or grilled.
In Latin America, Spain and Portugal, quince candies are a popular snack, especially at Christmas. But it tastes good all year round with cheese, nuts or meat. Quince candies can be kept for up to 6 months if dry and packed in an airtight container. So it is important that the mixture is really well dried out. To prevent the quince candies from sticking together, separate the individual layers with parchment paper.
The prepartion of these tough fruits is time consuming, but the result is certainly worth the effort. For quick quince candies, you can also dry the mixture in a preheated oven (with the oven door ajar) at 60C/140F degrees with fan on for approx. 6-8 hours, depending on the consistency. I left mine on the kitchen counter for 6, almost 7 days to dry.
Not every variety of quince turns reddish when cooked. Some quinces remain pale yellow after cooking. For a reddish quince candy you can use the varieties Bereczki or Portugieser.

Thin crispy crust and a tender, moist interior - that's exactly how this delicious and aromatic country crust bread turned out to be and perfect for tearing, dipping or slathering with butter. I have baked this bread directly on a baking stone with steam, but you certainly can use a baking tray instead or a Dutch-Oven. Divide the dough into two at the end of bulk fermentation if desired and shape each into different forms (batards and boules). The baking temperature can be left as it is, but the baking time must be adjusted depending on the size of the loaves.

An easy stuffed eggplant recipe - delicious, comforting and loaded with flavour! The medium-sized eggplants are first roasted until tender, then filled with ground lamb and apricot chutney, returned to the oven for a further 15 minutes until very soft and tender. Whether you're looking for a simple weeknight meal or something to show off at your next dinner party, these delicious stuffed eggplants are sure to be a crowd-pleaser! Feel free to make the recipe with your favorite stuffing (red lentil, chickpea, haloumi, etc). If you belongs to those people with OR6A2 gene who are sensitive to the aldehyde component (the soapy smell) found in cilantro and dislike the taste of cilantro, use flat parsley instead.

These saffron bread knots are made by plaiting together 4 strands of a soft, sweet enriched saffron dough - sprinkle the top with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds if desired. Saffron gives the knots a beautiful warm golden colour as well as a wonderful intense flavour and scent. I have used 0.3 g rams of saffron for the dough, which is a bit too much, 1 small sachet (0.1 gram) would be enough. I didn't fill the dough, but you can try to fill with nutella or nut cream for an even richer bread.

These autumn-festive apple bars feature a buttery wholegrain shortbread base, perfectly spiced apple filling and finish off with a fantastic crumbled oat streusel, with the distinct earthy flavour of wholegrain rye. They are egg-free and sweetened with coconut sugar, so it's refined-sugar free too. The recipe is rather easy and very delicious, the best part is that you can customize it to your taste. Add some raisins, cranberries or pecans that you think compliment the apples and for an even nuttier and deeper caramelized flavour, replace the browned butter for regular one.

A comforting, lukewarm casserole made with stale bread, blueberries, cream, milk and eggs is a brunch attraction. Ideal for using up the bread from the day before. I used German Brötchen, but French baugette would be great too. Other than blueberries, you can use any other berries, cherries or raisins. If using frozen blueberries, mix in without thawing to avoid discoloring the mixture. The bread pudding is fantastic with the rich, silky vanilla sauce, but would also be amazing served with vanilla ice cream or simply homemade whipped cream.

This recipe is as simple as it is delicious. Unlike more rounded and puffier sugar snap peas, the pods of snow peas are flatter with tiny peas inside, making them ideal for fast stirfrying. The simple combination of butter and lemon zest really transforms this side dish into something really special. Although optional, the toasted pine nuts add a wonderful nutty crunch.
