Honey Roasted Vegetables with Red Pepper Houmous. I was very lucky to be given some locally grown vegetables a couple of weeks ago. A colleague was going away and gave me amongst other things beetroot and fennel. We are so lucky to have a wealth of fruit, vegetables, herbs and salads produced on island. Eating seasonal, locally sourced food is good news for several important reasons. It is more flavourful and nutritious due to the short time between harvest and you buying it. This is because there is less time for the nutrients to break down.
Cooking Techniques
Salt and Pepper Pork Chops (椒盐猪排)
A real favourite of mine as it is incredibly tasty, and the pork is tender and not dry. What’s more, it is quick to cook so perfect for a midweek supper. Finally, you don’t need lots of expensive ingredients, most of them will already be in your store cupboard or pantry.
