Mackerel Linguine

Been away for some time but decided to put up another blog.

I thought of something simple which only takes the time while the pasta cooks.

This serves three people....

Get a pot of salted boiling water and throw in 200g of Linguine....

First chop up half a chilli and one clove....

Fry off in a table spoon of rapeseed oil....

Throw in a tin of Mackerel and a table spoon of white wine vinegar....

Throw in three tablespoons of tomato passatta or home made tomato sauce....reduce this down....grate in half a lemon's zest and some chopped up curly parsley

After eight minutes you should have it thickened up....throw in the linguine


And that's it really.....if you try this out tweet me @spurs_cook

I'll be back with another blog soon....thanks for reading

Hello again everyone! This post is a special post to me. because it's for @swallowcharity's competition a fantastic charity who helps people with learning difficulties. This is a great competition too, what they do is give you three ingredients and you have to come up with a dish which shows them off and this will really motivate your cooking too. The winner gets chosen and their recipe may be added into their cook book? This also raises awareness of the charity and helps a good cause... Well this month is Tomatoes, Pork and Sweetcorn....I thought simplicity is key here? So I decided to do something a family can enjoy or one person can do on his or her own?

Another great weekend! I have participated one of my favourite recipes which I did nearly a year ago now and it's a very healthy version which uses hardly no oil at all! If you want to be extra healthy of course use Whole Wheat Tortilla bread or even Turkey Steaks? Well I've got another blog on and many thanks to everyone who reads them! This time I've done an ex legend closes to the country I could get it to! I've done my dish today Chicken Fajitas and trust me these are fresher, less greasy and damn right tasty!! OK so who did I do a famous Tex-Mex dish on...well Spurs have had no one in particular that has been Mexican? Well Dos Santos wasn't with us long enough....so I did one on a Spanish talking player who scored an iconic goal which was arguably one of the best F.A. Cup goals in the competitions history!! Ricky Villa scored that very goal...I'll get a tribute going to him very soon. The ingredients for the Chicken Fajitas are your usual....if ...

Chicken Pesto Pasta

Hi everyone, Another blog and I appear to be on a role! I decided to do one on a traditional Pesto with a twist, yes with a twist. Before anyone from an Italian family starts criticising, I know it's not the traditional recipe. Anyway here is my version: Pesto: 3 regular bags of Basil (leave some for serving) Small handful of Sunflower seeds 2 Garlic cloves (roughly chopped) Salt and Pepper 250 ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 50g of Parmesan Cheese or Peccorino (leave some for serving) 2 green Chillis 100g Pasta 20 g of shredded cooked Chicken or one Chicken Breast OK, it's this easy! Throw the Basil, Sunflower seeds, Garlic cloves, green chillis and Parmesan into a blitzer and blitz. Now season and pour some Olive Oil into the mixture and keep adding till you have consistency that is still thick but you are still able to pour. Now season and pour some Olive Oil into the mixture and keep adding till you have consistency that is still thick but ...
