Phyllo pastry appetizers/6 recipes

Contrary to what you make think, not all Spring Rolls are deep-fried. They can be served fresh as well, which is a lovely option for an appetizer or light meal this summer. It’s quite an extensive list of ingredients, but if you are a fan of Thai cooking, it’s likely you have most of them in your pantry or fridge already. The preparation is a simple whisk, toss, hydrate, roll. And our special touch? We added a peanut sauce to make a “Pad Thai” version, as well as some chillies. Stop, drop and roll – these babies are on fire!

Here is a ‘grate’ side dish for the gluten-intolerant – or a way to get kids excited about vegetables. Packed with flavour and fibre, the mixture can be made in advance, and then simply portioned and fried for 6 minutes to glorious, crispy perfection. Don’t forget to drain off that excess oil once done, nobody wants a soggy, greasy latke..

Hummus is such a simple thing to make that you could easily prepare it at home, and it also tastes much better than the shop bought options mainly due to the freshness of the ingredients. We’ve gone for a slightly different twist with this hummus dish and used split peas instead of chickpeas. It makes 6 coconut naans and a couple of pots full of delicious split pea hummus.

This orange glazed pork chop recipe is a meat lover’s dream and is perfectly complemented by the French beans and olive tapenade part of the recipe. These beans actually cater for 6 people, so feel free to use them in a simple stir fry the day after.

A vegetable cawl recipe specifically created for St. David’s Day which is celebrated every year on the 1st March, in remembrance of the patron saint of Wales. As the Welsh say, “Do the little things” and nourish your body. The recipe serves 6 bowls, as per the image, with 3 quenelles each.

This gluten-free plum and raspberry tart recipe is our new favourite dessert recipe. It’s made using an almond shortcrust pastry case that’s not only super healthy and nutritious, but the honey adds a sweet flavour to it too. It tastes far too delicious to be good for you, but it really is. When making the crust don’t be tempted to leave it too thick, about 0.5cm is as thick as we would go with it. Don’t worry about it breaking whilst baking, this should only happen if you forget to grease the baking tins and it might break as you remove the tarts. As long as the tins/cases are greased before you add the almond mixture there should be no breakages or leaks.
