This week we are feasting on dumplings in AnotherFoodBloggers house! Boy, are my wife & I a fan of dumplings!! We used to eat them by the bucket load when living in NYC. What’s not to love – soft steamed dumpling wrappers with a crispy base, a simple but so delicious filling and dipping sauce…
Mains
Pea & Bacon Risotto
It’s risotto time this week – as spring is drawing to an end here in Australia the rest of the world is plummeting into Winter. It means for us the evenings can still be a little cooler and the rest of the world are simply bloody cold! Risotto is the key to theses temperatures. Hold…
Duck & Orange Sauce
When we lived in Ireland duck was something I cooked every week or every other week at home. I mastered the art of it and then when we moved to NYC I wasn’t cooking much at all so my duck cooking skills diminished a bit. Luckily for you guys (and my wife), I am back…
Grilled Salmon & Beetroot Hummus
We are hitting 30 degrees celsius here in Brissie, so more fish is being cooked, lighter salads and fewer bowls of pasta. Gotta shed that layer of winter fat, so what better way to do it with some delicious grilled salmon & beetroot hummus! This hummus recipe is one I have been making for a…
Grilled Prawn Sandwich
Grilled prawn sandwich with a DELICIOUS vanilla & lime aioli. Sounds a little different but this combo was epic. The prawns got a good rub in some spices, skewered up and grilled on the BBQ. Homemade lime & SloFoodGrp Madagascar vanilla aioli, tomatoes & pea shoots all lovingly placed inside a brioche bun. The question…
Pork & Creamed Spinach
This week and to be honest quite a few times recently we have enjoyed this delicious pork & creamed spinach dish. On the table, in 30 minutes and the look of a restaurant-quality dish, there is no wonder we are eating it again tonight!! I have been getting some delicious pork tenderloin from my boy…
Duck Breast & Asian Greens
The latest “fancier” dish to hit the blog is this uber delicious duck breast w/ Asian greens is rounded off with my latest addiction – rhubarb & beetroot ketchup. Yep, you read correctly. Duck breast with ketchup! Interested in what I am talking about? All I can say is read on friend and enjoy tucking…
Jalapeno Popper Style Chicken
There are some things I miss about NYC. How good Amazon is there, amazing little restaurants serving the best snacks, overly cool cocktail bars, the neverending discovery of something new at every corner AND, wait for it……. Dive bars! There was something about them when you wanted a few chilled beers, average as F food…
Mushroom Braised Short Ribs
Father’s Day was just the other day here in Australia, and as we move into Spring, the weather is defo warming up nicely. During the day it’s shorts & tees but still a little “fresh” in the evening. The BBQ has been cranked up a little more, but the dutch oven still has a little…
Vegetable Bolognese
This week we are tackling the age-old mission of ‘getting veg into your child’. Anyone else have that problem? I think what I find most frustrating about it is both my wife and I eat pretty much everything and love eating out and trying new food things. Our daughter – the COMPLETE opposite. So, when…
Crispy Fish Tacos
I think the first-ever taco I ate after moving to NYC was a crispy fish taco. It was so simple – beautifully fried fresh fish, cabbage, a squeeze of lime, and some aioli. Not much to it but boy is it a lasting memory. As you probably saw from my recent chorizo & prawn taco…
Brown Butter Prawn Pasta
We haven’t had a pasta dish in a while here on the site actually nor in the house other than my world-famous (cough, splutter) beef cheek ragu. I decided to finally put one together using ingredients that we (I) pretty much always have in the fridge and this brown butter prawn pasta was born. A…
Chorizo & Prawn Tacos
Usually, when I ask the “boss” what she wants from dinner, I am met with “whatever you want.” So then I suggest tacos, and IMMEDIATELY I am met with only if it’s fish or chorizo & prawn tacos. So, in other words, “whatever I want” just as long as it conforms with whatever you want!! …
Szechuan Chicken Rice
Chicken mince is the latest thing to pop up in the fridge here. I do a little work with Inglewood Organic Chicken so I was tasked with creating something with their chicken mince. Truthfully, it’s not something we eat a lot of in the house but after this recipe and the dumplings (more on those…
Spanish Fish Stew
Dishes to warm the soul are what’s being served here in AnotherFoodBloggers home right now. My Spanish fish stew is definitely one that ticks those boxes. Right now when we are in single-digit temperatures it works wonderfully in front of the fire with a nice glass of red in hand. BUT, the beauty of this…
Crumbed Veal Cutlet
This week we are pairing the delicious Marri Wood Park Chenin Blanc with some juicy and tender crumbed veal cutlet. The dish is paired with beautifully salty and acidic caper butter and a fresh salad of fennel and green apple. This dish is a quick one to make and is great mid-week or for a…
Asian Salmon & Nam Prik Dressing
So lockdown is slowly being eased around the world, the livers have been overworked, and many of us have gone up a notch on the old belt!! This Asian salmon & nam prik recipe is one we are eating at home weekly now to counteract all the food and drink we gorged on over the…
Moroccan Steak Pitas
Steak, spice rub, homemade pita, and an epic salsa. Hot damn, these Moroccan steak pitas are cracking – simple! This recipe was created with the Heirloom Alcala Grenache in mind which WHEN you read on you will get to know a little about the winery and the wine. WHAT CUT OF STEAK IS BEST FOR…
Gourmet Fish Pie
A big old bowl of comfortable. That’s prob the simplest and best way to describe this gourmet fish pie. It’s got the elegance level to be served at a dinner party but you can’t beat this, the couch, a glass of wine, and your favourite TV show. There has been a lot of that lately…
BBQ Lamb & Romesco Sauce
This BBQ lamb & romesco sauce is the latest recipe to grace the table of AnotherFoodBloggers home. It’s a real winner – not a biased comment at all. 😉 Perfectly BBQ’d butterflied lamb leg, a simple macadamia romesco, and charred broccolini was a match made in heaven. This dish eats as good as it looks,…
Chicken & Butterbean Cassoulet
1st day of winter here in Australia and where it’s not too cold here in Queensland. It’s actually quite beautiful, really. The mornings and evenings defo feel chillier. It looks like I’m becoming a Queenslander and feeling the cold of low teen celsius!! Before here, I had winters in NYC of -26c, and now I…
BBQ Peri Peri Chicken
Homemade BBQ peri peri chicken is what’s going on at AnotherFoodBlogger’s house and on the weber kettle right now. The sauce is smokey from charring the veg on the bbq, spicy from all that chili and balanced out with the acidity from the lemon juice and sherry vinegar. Marinade your chook overnight if possible…
Teriyaki Salmon Toast
Something a little different but no less tasty with this salmon teriyaki dish. Simple crushed peas on top of grilled bread, a delish homemade teriyaki sauce, pea shoots and pickled ginger makes this teriyaki salmon toast one you will devour about 5 or 6 slices easily. Using items that if you have a well stocked…
Black Pudding Nourishing Bowl
It’s nourishing bowl time here in AnotherFoodBloggers home. Brekkie is often a bone of contention here. Between the 3yr old wanting to skip brekkie and play games “shouting play with me, play with me” from my wife and I trying to be healthy with my homemade granola midweek to demolishing a bacon/egg sambo at the…
Steak tomato & brie crostini
All my favorite items in one place right here! Steak tomato & brie crostini is a winner. It’s great as a summer platter to serve amongst friends or as a lazy but “fancy” dinner with the family. Read on and see how I turned up the yummmm levels on this by incorporating my anchovy caper…
Blackened Salmon Tacos
It’s Taco Time! Taco Tuesday was yesterday here in AFB’s house. More specifically blackened salmon tacos served with a delicious grilled pineapple and avocado salsa. This beauty of a meal is really simple to make. You can be all “fancy” and present them all pretty and dainty. Or like me, get all the ingredients for…
Asian Pork Meatballs
These guys aren’t your avg meatballs! Boy are they good – it’s almost shameful to not try them at least once. Adding some spring onions, aromatic ginger, sesame & garlic packs these Asian pork meatballs with maximum flavor. The sweet & spicy sauce takes it to another level and it’s the perfect dinner for any…
Black Pudding Tacos
Black pudding tacos being showcased today!!! It’s been a minute since we did tacos on the page. So here is my latest offering in collaboration with Clonakilty Black Pudding. Perfect time to read up, get to the shops and be armed and ready for next week’s taco tuesday!! Keeping it pretty classic and simple with…
Chicken & Corn Salad
Crispy chicken skin is one thing but crispy chicken, avocado, corn and chili is well, simply a match made in heaven. This chicken & corn dish is one we have been eating for some time now. It’s been fine tuned, deconstructed, reconstructed and is now ready to share with the masses 😉 CORN Truthfully…
Chorizo Prawn Skewers
Luckily for me it’s pretty much ALWAYS grillin’ season here in QLD! Autumn is having highs of 24 c and lows of 11 c (but that’s at 4am!). It means I’m able to turn on my weber and cook cracking dishes like these chorizo prawn skewers all the time! Freshness from the delicious local prawns,…
Chicken Satay Sandwich
Chicken satay is one of those things that I just HAVE TO get every time I order Asian takeaway. No matter how hungry I am or sometimes not even that hungry at all I ALWAYS have to order it. To me, it’s the mark of a good takeaway – if you can do satay right! …
Pumpkin Pork Risotto
Autumn has come here in Australia. Temperatures are cooler – still warm enough though in Brisbane but cool enough that I have stopped wearing shorts everyday! Time for AnotherFoodBlogger to whip up some autumnal dishes. The wife has even taken to turning the fire on. WTF! First up using one of my favourite ingredients, pork! …
Grilled Lamb & Black Pudding Skewers
It doesn’t get easier than cooking things on a skewer. I have teamed up with Clonakilty black pudding (which makes me very happy as I love the stuff!) so mixing it up with some delicious lamb mince, pairing it with a simple parsley salad and it’s job done!! Keep scrolling to read my ramblings and…
Crispy Fish Sandwich
Fried fish is one of those things I can’t live without. I feel healthy eating fish and then I feel like an adult / not being healthy by battering it and putting it inside bread! My crispy fish sandwich is quite simply a winner. Whip up some aioli using my pickled jalapenos and this guy…
Simple Crab Linguine
This simple crab pasta recipe certainly isn’t new and nor is it one I can say that I invented either. What I can attest to (in my humble opinion) that my version KICKS ASS!! Tons of finely chopped chili, plenty of spicy ginger & garlic, fragrant coriander leaf, quality olive oil and a good splash…
Chicken Caesar Sandwich
Caesar salad is my all time favourite salad! Anyone who reads my blog has probably recognized I am a fan of anything between 2 slices of bread too. It was only natural that putting a caesar salad inside of a burger bun was simply the right thing to do. I give you my delicious chicken…
Tandoori Lamb Cutlets
Truthfully I don’t eat a TON of Indian food. However, I do like a good korma,. This is probably mainly to do with my lack of adventure when living in Ireland as the offerings were never that great – sorry! I always found that I missed the vegetable element when I order a takeaway and…
Stuffed Capsicums
These black pudding stuffed capsicums are simply delish. At first I was a little apprehensive of this recipe as I always thought stuffed capsicums were a little old skool. Not gonna lie though I had fun re-making an old classic. Using some great homegrown (Irish) products in Clonakilty black pudding and some butternut squash and…
Bacon Jalapeno Mac n Cheese
It doesn’t come any more comforting than Mac n Cheese! A load of pasta, a simple yet uber delicious cheese sauce and with the addition of some crispy bacon, jalapeno slices it really doesn’t get any better! I often get asked about the food we eat at home. How come I ain’t the size of…
Wild mushroom risotto
Risotto is something that doesn’t need to be as hard to make as everyone seems to think it is. Follow these simple steps and you will have a DELISH wild mushroom risotto on the table in no time. It may well be 30+ degrees here in Bris-Vegas as we come into Christmas – WTF!!! It’s…
Pineapple/chili glazed chicken wings
Dinner doesn’t always need to be super fancy and sometimes you just can’t beat a big ol’ bowl of chicken wings. At the same time it would be rude not to do those wings justice. So with this homemade pineapple, chili & ginger glaze you will certainly be doing your wings proud. Oh and no…
BBQ Easy Carve Lamb Leg
Lamb is tasting great right now and even better when cooked using this recipe (if I do say so myself!!). This easy carve lamb leg gives you the best of both worlds with a quicker cooking time and the added flavour coming from the bone. Oh, and did I mention it’s easy to carve too….
Citrus rubbed veal rump
You just can’t beat a good roast dinner. Growing up in Ireland with the colder weather and the large extended families it was all about the big Sunday roast! You couldn’t beat the smell wafting through the house of the herbed potatoes, many different types of veg and obviously the meat itself. Oh, the memories!!!…
Asian glazed pork belly, eggs & slaw
Sticky, packed with flavour and cooks within minutes. This Asian glazed pork belly works perfectly along side some scrambled eggs for a brekkie/brunch winner OR inside a brioche bun for the perfect dinner! Summer is just around the corner here in Bris-Vegas and the bbq is getting used pretty much everyday right now. I’m a…
Crispy pork belly, sweet potato & cider
Pork belly is one of those things that people either love or hate. I am on the LOVE side of it, that is as long as it’s done nice. This crispy skin pork belly is definitely one to impress. To cook the belly properly firstly you need a piece of meat that is balanced with…
Lamb burger, harissa & onions
It’s burgertime again in AnotherFoodBloggers home. This juicy lamb burger is definitely one of our favs! Combining that kick ass red pepper sriracha harissa recipe of mine, some top quality meat, crisp lettuce & sweet grilled onions this burger is a complete winner. There has to be something said for BBQing. It really does make…
Steak Tacos – carne asada style
TACOS!!! Who doesn’t love em’? Well, actually I think it’s more if you don’t love them then what the hell is wrong with you. Growing up in Ireland there wasn’t much Mexican cuisine readily available. Unless you can class some mincemeat (usually beef) with a jar of tomato sauce, a packet of “Mexican” seasoning, a…
Ossobucco, porcini & marsala
Ossobucco. This isn’t something that I cook too often but when I do, my go to recipe involves this INSANE sauce. There is so much depth of flavour that it will make you want to just drink it straight from a cup! If ossobucco isn’t your thing then the sauce is also KILLER with some…
Beef cheeks, polenta, kale pesto
Wow! It’s been a hectic past few weeks here in Brisbane. AnotherFoodBlogger now has a new kitchen in which to create some kick ass food and recipes for you guys. In case you didn’t get it we have moved house. Still living in New Farm in Brisbane but just a new address. Beef Cheeks are…
Lamb Curry
Lamb Curry! You just gotta love it. It’s winter here in Brisbane and even though it’s only getting down to lows of 7 / 8 degrees celsius at night it still feels bloody cold. Strange considering we just moved from NYC where we had winters of -26c for a few years. You’d think we would…
It’s Parm Time!
It’s sandwich time at AnotherFoodBlogger’s house!! The flavour in this veal parm sandwich was so unreal we all struggled to put it down for fear of the other person snatching it. Garlic, spicy tomatoes, grilled bread, crispy veal and peppery rocket. Well, it’s like there was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited….
Chimichurri sauce
CHIMICHURRI!!! This has to be one of my all-time favourite sauces! I also discovered the other day that my now 22 month old loves it too. This was evident to me when I kept getting “more, more”. AND then the next day she was walking around the house saying “churri, churri”. So 3 people in…
Pork tenderloin, shiitake, honey mustard
Pork is one of my favourite sources of protein. Pork tenderloin is probably my favourite cut of pork. It’s inexpensive and so versatile. From some good old fashioned fried bacon for brekkie to sliced ham in a lunchtime sandwich with AnotherFoodBlogger’s twist of course (check out my harissa recipe here) or to a whole piece…
Pulled Pork Hash
Pulled pork hash is one of my favourite brekkie dishes. With Christmas around the corner and it being hot hot hot here in Australia this is the perfect Christmas morning or Boxing Day brekkie/lunch for all the family! Leftover pulled pork Have you ever made pulled pork, eaten some great sandwiches and thought what am…
Scottish Lamb Stew
This is a recipe that I remember my now 97-year-old granny making me quite frequently when I would visit Scotland growing up. I had some lamb that was perfect for stewing and the first thing that popped into my mind was cooking this lamb stew. Damn, I loved eating this so much. As always I…
Pulled Pork Sandwich
For those of you who have been following my last few blog/insta posts here is the finished product of them combined. The perfect marriage! This whopper of a pulled pork sandwich punches you in the face with it’s great flavour, from both the pork itself and the spicy BBQ sauce that’s so damn simple &…
Pulled Pork
Looking for a piece of meat that’s full of flavour and that you can turn into mutliple different dishes and that’s CHEAP, then look no further than pulled pork and my recipe below. I am not going to sit here and lie and tell you that I am a BBQ expert. Truthfully I only really…
Homemade BBQ sauce
Once you’ve read this you’ll never buy BBQ sauce again ( I hope )! It’s so damn simple to make it and the fact it will last about 2 – 3 months in the fridge makes it so much better! Having the weather we have in Brisbane I make a batch of this BBQ sauce…
Anchovy compound butter
Wanna add an extra kick to your steak? Then look no further than this compound butter. What’s compound butter? Read on my friend. Usually when I cook steak at home I like to just salt and pepper it and throw it on a hot pan/grill and serve it with mustard or lather that baby in…
Beef & Guinness Stew
I don’t cook many Irish dishes. Well that’s a bit of a lie, I cook potatoes quite often / every night but aside from that I don’t have a ton of recipes from my home country. This is one I found a while ago and edited a bit to put AnotherFoodBlogger’s twist on it. I…
Fried Chicken Sliders
Sometimes, just sometimes, the diet has to be thrown out the window and these fried chicken sliders are the perfect way to say ‘F you diet, something better has cropped up…!’ Deep Fried Mars Bar – is that a thing? I was never really into fried chicken until I moved to NYC. I guess the…
Simple Chicken Mushroom Pie
I created this chicken mushroom pie for my toddler. I have, like every parent a never-ending quest to get her to enjoy food and mealtimes as much as my wife and I do. She can be the pickiest of eaters, whose toddler isn’t?. She LOVES mushrooms and peas so I adapted a couple of “grown…
Beef Cheek Ragu
This beef cheek ragu recipe is a real winner with everyone, well except vegetarians – sorry! The time and love that needs to be put into this dish might seem a little intimidating at first but the final outcome is TOTALLY worth it. Truthfully though, once the prep is done the beef cheeks just need…
