Cheese and Capsicum Steak Stacks.

Hello everybody.

Today is meat day for protein source in the diet.

For a change I looked through my cookbooks for something new and came across this one, personally I loved it meaning not all family members found it unusual but it was worth trying.

It’s basically two thin slices of steaks stacked together with cheese, onions and blackened or roasted capsicum or sweet red peppers.

You then wrap them as a parcel then grill on both sides till golden. Leave in the oven covered for half an hour later on in very low heat.

I did some mushroom risotto and sauce on the side.

Roasted Cauliflower.

Hello everybody.

Saw this recipe on my Facebook friend Mary’s timeline thought I’ll try it today,got a tiny cauliflower to do the test,well it turned out really good, light appetizer with a spicy sour taste,though as usual reality is never like the photo posted,Photoshop is so mean sometimes!

You simply marinate a whole cauliflower is yogurt,olive oi,lemon zest and juice ( forgot them in the photo) ,salt,pepper,chili powder and cumin. Then you place it in a deep pan and bake it in a well heated oven till brown and crisp from the outside,serve with green salad or as appetizer.

Well lunch was chicken tikka masala,got a ready mix this time,really good actually!
