Pork Chops with Cheese

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 90 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 2 – 3 springs of fresh rosemary
  • 15 ml minced garlic
  • 4 pork chops
  • Salt and pepper
  • 30 ml Olive oil
  • 125 ml grated cheddar or gouda cheese

Instructions

  1. Take out a baking sheet and shallow casserole dish and add the lemon juice, rosemary and garlic.
  2. Gently place the pork chops into the dish and tern several rimes to coat the meat well. Leave the chops in the marinade and cover the dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the fridge for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Remove the pork chops from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and rub salt and pepper evenly into both sides.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the pork chops. Cook for 2-3 minutes to brown the one side. Turn the chops and reduce the heat to a medium-low setting. Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for 8 minutes.
  5. When the pork is cooked through, remove the pan and allow to rest for 3 – 5 minutes.
  6. Add the leftover marinades to the liquid in the pan, stirring it until it’s completely blended.
  7. Return the pork to the sauce in the pan and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the chops. Cover the pan again and cook briefly until the cheese has melted.

Ham and Egg Cups

Print Recipe

Description

Banting friendly recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 – 4 Slices of ham per person
  • Feta cheese
  • 2 Eggs per person
  • Salt & Pepper

Optional

  • Dried or fresh Italian herbs
  • Grated Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C.
  2. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray, or just grease it with a little butter so that the ham doesn’t stick to the inside while cooking
  3. Push the slices of ham into the muffin hole so that it forms a cup shape. The reason I’ve said 2 – 4 slices of ham is because sometimes you get big big muffin pans, or just really small cuts of ham. If this is the case, overlap two slices of ham and push into the muffin hole to form the cup shape.
  4. Crumble a little feta into the bottom of the ham cup.
  5. Crack the egg straight into the ham cup and season with a little salt, pepper and Italian herbs, if using.
  6. Place the muffin pan into the oven and leave to bake for 10 – 15 minutes, depending on how hard or soft you like your eggs.
  7. Once it’s done, take out the muffin pan and slide a knife around the edges to pop out the delicious little egg and ham cups. Sprinkle some Cheddar cheese on top for that awesome ‘two cheese’ combo effect.

Cauli Rice

Print Recipe

Description

Just like mashed potato. Rice is one of those side dishes that very few people are able to go without. Cauli-Rice is a non-grain you can eat as much as you like with no shame!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet Cauli-Rice
  • 1 onion
  • 100g butter or coconut oil
  • Salted water

Instructions

  1. 1. Melt the cutter or coconut oil in a heavy based frying pan and sauté the onion until soft.
  2. 2. Add the cauliflower and mix through the onion and butter. Leave the heat on low or medium and place the lid on top of the pan.
  3. 3. Leave to cook for five to eight minutes and either set aside or serve immediately.

Notes

  • just like normal rice, you can add just about anything to cauli-rice. You just need to adjust the water content if you are reading off a rice recipe as the cauli-rice requires no water to cook. It also doesn’t holds its texture very well over long cooking periods so things like paella or risotto will need the rice added at the end rather than at the beginning.
