Pork chops with onions, sun dried tomatoes and potatoes



Yes it’s Friday, and I am in my kitchen cooking some delicious dinner for my family and thought to share with you guys!






4 -6  pork chops
Paprika 1/2 tsp
Coarse ground pepper 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
Sun dried tomatoes 5 to 6 roughly chopped

For the potatoes

Potatoes 3
Cumin powder 1/4 tsp
Red chilly flakes 1 tsp
Desiccated coconut 
Salt to taste

Method

Melt butter in a pan until sizzling.  Mix paprika, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub evenly over both sides of pork chops and cook for 10-15 minutes turning occasionally. 
Once it’s cooked, remove chops from the pan. Place onions in the same pan, fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes or until onions are caramelized. Add sun dried tomatoes and mix well.
Return chops to the pan; continue cooking for another couple of minutes on a low heat. Keep it aside.

Meanwhile, peel and cut potatoes. Place in a large saucepan. Cover the potatoes with cold water, add salt and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked. You can use a fork to test to see if they are cooked enough. Drain and leave to steam dry. Now heat some oil in a pan. Add cumin powder and chilly flakes. Let the flavour infuse into the oil. Now add potatoes and mix well. Sprinkle some desiccated coconut. Serve pork with potatoes and vegetable of your choice.

Chicken and avocado sandwich

As it was healthy eating week at my daughter's school last week, all the pupils were asked to take part in a healthy sandwich recipe competition and guess what? My daughter won the competition and she got a box full of vegetables...... you can see the picture below. She is so excited so i just thought to share the recipe with you folks. Just half an avocado will provide one of your recommended five-a-day portions,but did you know avocados are as good for your outside as your insides; sliced into quarter-inch crescents and left on the tender skin under the eyes for 20 minutes they act as a natural face-pack, with fantastic results.

Edible floral ice cubes

Image
Summer is here so, why not dress up your drinks with these beautiful homemade edible  flower ice cubes🌞💐🧊 How to make edible flower ice cubes 1. Fill an ice cube tray half way with water. Freeze. 2. Place one rose petal or any edible flowers of your choice on each cube, then pour one teaspoon of water over each petal. Freeze again. (This step anchors the petals to the cube so they don't float to the top but are actually embedded inside the ice.) 3. Once the water has frozen, fill the tray with water completely and freeze until solid. 4. Use edible flowers that are organically grown or from your own garden (Pesticide free)
