Fruit Salad with a Citrus Vanilla Sauce And Giveaway Winner Announced

Fruit Salad with a Citrus Vanilla Sauce And Giveaway Winner Announced

by Pam on April 28, 2013

I served this[1] fruit salad with the spicy Asian Chicken Sandwiches[2] I made for dinner recently and they paired nicely together. The sweet and juicy fruit salad cooled down our mouths after bites of the spicy sandwich. I loved this combination of fruit together. The sauce was a combination of orange and lemon juice & zest along with some brown sugar and vanilla. It reduced down to a very flavorful sauce that topped the fruit perfectly. We all, kids especially, loved this fruit salad.

The giveaway information is at the bottom of this recipe. Congratulations to the winner!!!

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, clementine zest, and lemon zest. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Set aside and let it cool down completely.

Prepare the fruit and combine it in a large bowl. Once the citrus vanilla sauce has cooled down, drizzle on top of the salad, to taste. Toss gently and serve. Enjoy.

Lemon Basil Rice

Lemon Basil Rice

by Pam on May 12, 2014

I was making a lemon caper pork dish for dinner and I wanted to serve it with rice. I decided to add lemon, lemon zest, and fresh basil to the basmati rice and it turned out delicious. The lemon made the rice pop with flavor and paired nicely with the fresh basil. This rice was excellent with our lemony pork. We all enjoyed it, although my kids still added soy sauce to theirs. They just seem to think that soy sauce always makes rice better. Silly kids.

Heat the chicken broth, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter over medium high heat until boiling. Once it starts to boil, add the rice and season with sea salt and white pepper, to taste. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes.

Remove the rice from the burner without removing the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork. Sprinkle with chopped basil then serve. Enjoy.

Salmon, anchovy and caper pizza

Print Page

  • Serves: 4

  • Prep time: 25 mins

  • Cooking time: 10 mins

  • Total time: 35 mins

  • Skill level: Easy peasy

  • Costs: Mid-price

Salty anchovy and rich smoked salmon are made even more yummy with the addition of cream cheese and capers. To finish it off, some fresh lemon zest adds some extra zing. This may not be exactly like ‘mamma use to make’, but we reckon she would still want the recipe!

Ingredients

  • ½tbsp capers, roughly chopped
  • 30g anchovies, roughly chopped
  • Large pinch dried red chilli
  • 1tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice plus 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1x pizza base
  • 1x jar pizza sauce
  • 100g cream cheese
  • 70g smoked salmon, shredded
  • Fresh dill
  • Fresh ground black pepper

That’s goodtoknow

Don’t be tempted to add too much salt, if any to this pizza. The mixture of anchovy and capers should give more than enough of a salty hit!

Method

  1. Combine the capers, anchovies and chilli in a small bowl along with the lemon juice and Tbsp olive oil. Leave to sit for 10 mins for the flavours to infuse.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 425F/220C/Electric Fan 200C/Gas Mark 7. Spread some of the sauce on top of the pizza base and dollop on the cream cheese. Scatter over the anchovy mix and shredded smoked salmon. Put the pizza directly onto the top shelf and cook for 8-10 minutes or as long as the instructions for the pizza base gives, based on pizza toppings.
  3. Take out of the oven and finish off with some fresh dill, a sprinkle of lemon zest and some crushed black pepper along with a drizzle of olive oil.
