Insalata Di Polpo: Octopus Salad Antipasto
The colours, textures and flavours in this dish are so amazing that I almost couldn’t bring myself to eat it. Almost 🙂
I love the simplicity of the ingredients. All you need is some pickled baby octopus, julienned carrot and snow peas (both for crunch), some pasley/coriander and a splash of lemon.
Enjoy,
PK

Anna’s Rosemary And Lemon Chicken
I am always gobsmacked by how tasty Italian cuisine is given the simplicity of many dishes. Anna’s easy chicken marinade is no exception and you won’t believe how tasty it is!
Simply mix chicken pieces with some minced garlic, chopped parsley, a generous amount of rosemary leaves, lemon juice and a few slugs of olive oil.
Season with salt to taste and pop the whole lot into the fridge for a few hours.
Then cook the chicken pieces as you normally would.
I served this lot up with a simple green salad and some chips. I bet it would also go great with Anna’s Fennel Salad.

PK’s Very Easy Apple Sauce
I love apple sauce and making it from scratch couldn’t be easier. The home-made version is tastier and has cut down on packaging, transport costs and preservatives to boot.
This is a traditional stewed apple method, good for 4 people or so, but for a bit of wow please try PK’s NoRecipe Roasted Apples. Your guests will love you for it.
Note: On low heat it will take about 20 minutes to cook.
Simply
Peel and cube two apples.
Chuck them in a small lidded saucepan along with a:
- clove
- good squirt of lemon juice
- splash of water
- couple of sprinkles brown sugar
Cover and stew on low heat until everything is soft, adding small amounts of water if too dry.
Allow to cool somewhat and remove clove.
Whizz in a wet blender and serve warm.
Enjoy,
PK

PK’s NoRecipe Southeast Asian Dipping Sauce
This is my go to sauce if I need to quickly whip up a Southeast Asian style dipping sauce or salad dressing. I use it for rice paper rolls, spring rolls, beef salads, chicken salads and so much more.
Adjust the balance of fish sauce to sugar as you see fit or to suit how you are using it. Put a squirt of Sriracha or sweet chili sauce in there for a bit of a zing :).
Steps:
Simply mix:
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tsp raw sugar
- 1/4 cup lime (or lemon juice depending on purpose)
- sriracha sauce, to taste and optional
Give everything a good whisk to dissolve the sugar and you are done :).
Enjoy,
PK

DrippyStuff: Creamy Aioli
Last night we had my Baked Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese Balls again and I wanted to have something to dip them in. I did a quick Google and settled on this recipe.
The result was amazing and got ticks of approval from my wife who is something of an expert when it comes to this particular sauce.
Notes:
- I found the original recipe a bit runny so I reduced the amount of water
- You will be whisking slowly for around 10 minutes in my experience
- You can make it taste different every time by mixing up the seasoning
- Contains raw egg
You will be:
- Whisking and whisking some more.
- Seasoning the sauce.
You will need:
- Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp water
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1 garlic clove (very finely diced)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- lemon juice to taste
- ground sea salt or table salt to tast
- ground black peppercorns to taste
- Equipment:
- a long sharp knife
- a chopping board
- a whisk
- a small metal mixing bowl
Whisking and whisking some more
- Pop the egg yolk into the metal mixing bowl.
- Add the:
- 1/4 tsp table salt.
- 1 garlic clove (very finely diced).
- 1 tsp water.
- a tiny amount of the oil.
- Start whisking slowly and don’t stop as you very very very slowly add the rest of the 1/2 cup olive oil.
- Keep whisking until you get a smooth creamy consistency.
Starting off:
A bit of effort but oh so worth it:
Seasoning the sauce
I just used my salt and pepper grinders and a splash of lemon juice until I got the taste I liked. Remember that you will get less of a garlic wallop when combining it with food vs testing it by itself so don’t panic. Unless you love a lot of garlic power and in this case add more next time.
Enjoy,
PK
