Directions

  • Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a jug or bowl
  • Cook the onion in the oil over a medium heat until translucent
  • Add the chicken and stir fry until cooked through
  • Push the chicken to the side of the pan and add the eggs in. Scramble, then add to the chicken
  • Cover the rice noodles in plenty of boiling water and leave to sit for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and add to the pan with the cooked chicken. Don't leave sitting for too long or they will stick together
  • Add sauce ingredients, peanuts, spring onions and bean sprouts to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, to allow the noodles to soak in the sauces
  • Serve in a bowl with a lime wedge, sprinkle with peanuts and spring onion. Enjoy!

  • Add sliced onion and thinly sliced zucchini, along with Italian Stallion
  • Saute over a medium heat for a minute or two

  • Man Grind

Sauce and Assembly

Directions

  • Pre heat oven to 180C
  • Slice eggplants into 1cm thick sliced, dip in egg seasoned with Man Grind then coat in Lemon Herb Crumb. Arrange on two baking trays, drizzle with a little oil and bake for 20min
  • While eggplant is baking, make the sauce. For a short cut you can mix the tomatoes, italian stallion, moroccan paste and oil together in a bowl and use just like that; alternatively you can simmer the sauce while the eggplant bakes. Saute the itallian stallion and moroccan paste in the oil for a minute or two, add the canned tomatoes and ½ cup of water and simmer.
  • Place some sauce on the bottom of a baking dish and layer with the baked eggplant.
  • Continue to layer until all the eggplant and sauce is used.
  • Top with grated cheese. Any cheese is fine, a mix of parmesan and cheddar works well or mozzarella. 
  • Bake for a further 20 minutes
  • Serve with a green salad

Friday:

Creamy Tomato & Sausage Gnocchi

February 5, 2022
Favourite ♡ 5
Serves 4
What a great heart warming dish! The gnocchi only takes minutes to cook and this dreamy sauce makes people think you’ve slaved over it for hours, well my husband did at least! You could easily use capsicum or eggplant instead of mushrooms. I always add sweetness (here honey) when using canned tomatoes but if you are not a fan feel free to leave it out. I used Beef & garlic sausages. The cheese is optional, but who doesn’t love some melted mozzarella in your life? But you could easily sub for Parmesan. If you do use the mozzarella and put it under the grill, you must be fast as gnocchi needs to be eaten quickly or they go a little hard and not as appetizing.

Ingredients

  • 6 Sausages
  • Oil for frying
  • I pack of Gnocchi
  • 1 Can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Italian stallion
  • 100 grams Mozzarella Cheese – optional
  • 6-8 medium sized mushroom quartered
  • 1-2 tablespoons Herby mustard butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey – optional
  • Man grind to taste
Prevent your screen from going dark

Directions

  • Heat oil in a pan on a medium heat and Fry the sausages.
  • In another pan (or alternatively, wait until you’ve cooked your sausages are cooked and use this pan) on a medium heat, place a splash of oil and 1 tablespoon of herby mustard butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden. Adding another tablespoon of butter while cooking if needed.
  • Once the sausages are cooked take them out of the pan and slice. I made my slices quite thin because I wanted to appease my children, but you can keep them chunky if you prefer.
  • Add your sausages back to the pan with the mushrooms and add the tomatoes.
  • Add the Italian stallion, man grind and honey.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Simmer.
  • Get a big pot of water on to boil. And turn your oven onto high grill. I did mine at 250.
  • Add the cream gently to the sausage mix. Simmer until nicely combined. Taste and again adjust seasoning by adding more man grind if needed.
  • Cook your gnocchi as per the instructions.
  • Drain the gnocchi and add the sausage mix to the gnocchi. Stir and place in your serving dish and if using, scatter over the cheese and place under the grill to quickly melt the cheese.
  • Serve with green veg and enjoy.
  • Happy cooking
