3 Tapas-style recipes that you need to try!
Sundried Tomato & Toasted Pistachio Pesto
You might not ever go back to traditional basil and pine nut pesto after you taste this divine combination of toasted pistachios and sundried tomatoes. If you’re not a fan of pistachios, try toasted and chopped walnuts instead.
Smoked Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs
The warm and savoury taste of herbs and Worcestershire sauce in the ground beef and pork makes the smokey mozzarella centre even more delectable. Pair these stuffed meatballs with your favourite dipping sauce as an appetizer or add them to a main course.
Seared Salmon Bites with Mint Oil
Seven simple ingredients takes this salmon from good to great. Salmon and canola oil are packed with omega 3 fats. Omega 3 fats are an anti-inflammatory that can help protect against heart disease. Our bodies don’t produce omega 3 fats, so we need to get them from our food.
Eat Well…Jenn
