@currytraders making my Butter Chicken Dreams come

@currytraders making my Butter Chicken Dreams come true!

You all know the legends over at @currytraders have sent me some of their curry spice packs. I was such a fan I ended up buying some more including this butter chicken.

I only decided half way through the prep to actually film it, but the short version of events is, eat more curry.

The Curry Trader packs come numbered with easy to follow instructions!

Not sponsored, not an add, just a shortcut to delicious.

This is thirty-something again (I honestly stopped

This is thirty-something again (I honestly stopped counting at 27 🤷‍♂️)

Today I celebrate another year around the sun. 🥳🍻

I’d offer you some cake, but how about a slider instead?

Time for some more random questions as asked by you (mostly).

What is the best dish you’ve ever made and why?

It’s a beef and cauliflower dish. Eye fillet, pureed cauliflower, burnt cauliflower, rocket and a mustard type sauce. Why you ask? Well turns out it isn’t really my best dish, but it got me very CLOSE to getting onto Masterchef (the fans vs favourites season). It wasn’t to be but I meet some incredible people over that audition.

Must have kitchen gadget? A bloody good knife or 10 (seriously don’t be me, you only need one or two). It’s to a point where there may or may not be a set that lives in my boot just incase.

Favourite tv show? …Dexter. Ok I asked myself this question, but it’s fitting 🤷‍♂️

Sweet or savoury? I think my cake answers this one pretty well?

Worst kitchen injury? Well aren’t you a savage?!? I was packing my knives up ready to go do a day of filming/photographing content, I was talking with my hands and my have stabbed the fat part under the thumb, apparently a bandaid wasn’t gonna cut it 🙈

If anyone has any other questions drop them below, otherwise enjoy a beer or two for me 🍻

Round two of real food diaries is here! 🍽️ Da

Round two of real food diaries is here! 🍽️ Day 7 of 7 (ish) featuring my dinner.. I get it, posting dinner pics might be so 2020 But I’m here to provide some inspo for everybody’s favourite question - What’s for dinner tonight? 🤔

Serve these Grilled Zucchini, Cherry Tomato, and Halloumi Skewers as a side dish, or even as a light main course. The combination of the grilled halloumi with the fresh veggies creates a flavourful dish, perfect for summer gatherings or a quick and healthy meal. Serve with your favourite condiments like aioli, pickled onion or even some chilli oil!

Grilled Zucchini, Cherry Tomato, and Halloumi Skewers

Ingredients:

1x Zucchini, sliced into rounds
½ punnet Cherry tomatoes
250g Halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
1 Red onion, cut into wedges
Olive oil
Lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
Flat Bread
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Preheat your grill or barbecue.

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a simple marinade.

Thread the zucchini rounds, cherry tomatoes, halloumi cubes, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating for a colourful combination.

Brush the skewers with the olive oil and lemon marinade, ensuring even coating.

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the halloumi is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

This concludes round 2. Comment below if you want a round 3! 🤘

Serving up a taste of sunshine with this Grilled Lemon & Caper Pan Fried Fish 🍋🐟, paired perfectly with a crisp and refreshing salad! Who said healthy couldn’t be delicious? Although, I’m not sure it counts as healthy when adding a big slice of butter….

Also I was distracted by about 100 different things so forgot to take the ingredient shot 🙄

Pan-Fried Fish with Lemon and Capers

Serves 2 | Prep Time 10 min | Cook Time 10 min

Ingredients:

White fish fillets – I used Barramundi
Lemon juice and zest
2 tbsps Capers
2 tbsps butter
Mixed salad greens
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Cucumber, sliced
Red onion, thinly sliced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Season fish fillets with lemon juice, zest, and oil

Grill the fish until cooked through, skin side down (or on one side), until the fish is about 80% cooked. Flip, add capers and butter and cook for another minute or until cooked through.

Combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado in a large bowl.

Drizzle with olive oil and toss the salad gently.

Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.
