Your weekend feast – 7 October 2016

Slip into the weekend feeling and get excited for some fantastic, belly-filling fare! The menu this week is veggie-heavy and you’re going to fall in love with some of the recipes we’ve got.

To start – the ultimate basil pesto pasta. We don’t know a family that doesn’t ooh and aah over this simple but tasty Italian meal. This one is jazzed up with cherry tomatoes and a crunchy, nutty savoury granola.

Who can say no to a fresh Spring tart made of courgettes, leek and chard? This would make a sophisticated Saturday lunch – paired with a dressed salad and a chilled bottle of Chardonnay.

Something decadent? Look no further than these chocolate fudge nut pieces. Yes – we know. Swoooon!

Ok – time to tuck into a bit of meat. Care for a roast chicken? Try this version with soy and plums – giving it a salty sweet kick that’s moreish and delicious.

A one-pan delight comes in the form of mustard and paprika pork steaks. Great with a creamy starch or cauliflower mash as a low carb substitute. WATCH how to make it below..

For those that like to push the boat out, give your mielies a gourmet twist by wrapping them in bacon and serving with curry butter.

Lastly – a treat that’s low carb and just plain beautiful… berry cheesecake frozen yoghurt popsicles!
