Onion recipes

A hearty crunchy side salad with peas, celery and cashews in a creamy dressing.

Quick-easy to make, and it tastes delicious. This is a dairy-free flatbread, garlic-infused olive oil is brushed over the bread dough and topped with onions, bell peppers, olives and pineapples that are being seasoned.

So delicious, and packed with goodness. If you don't have quinoa, use brown rice or regular white rice. A very tasty way to cook with seasonal colourful bell peppers, and they are so good for you as well.

The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section.
