Saka Saka ~ Red Rice

Red rice in Central Africa is roughly the same as jollof rice or wolof rice in West Africa, or pilau rice in East Africa. This recipe is originally from Senegal but has as many variations as there are countries that claim it as their national dish.

Sautéed Beef with Spinach Sauce

This dish is a variation of égousi, a dish that is very popular in West Africa. It is generally eaten with offal, especially tripe, but if you are not a fan, a beef fillet will work really well.

Baked Fish with Leeks & Fennel

I love experimenting with a fast-friendly protein combined with different seasonal veggies, herbs and spices to make the perfect flavour combo. This tender baked fish is complemented beautifully by calming fennel, cleansing coriander and the sweetness of leeks.

Leek & Lentil Soup

Leek & Lentil Soup

This leek and lentil soup is not only delicious but packed full of nutrients. Stir through some cream or crème fraiche after puréeing for a richer taste. For a leaner version, leave out the cream at the end.

Baked Leeks

Baked Leeks

There are two sure-fire ways to make vegetables better. You can bake them, or you can coat them with cheese. Here, I’ve combined the two to make a dish where the sweetly softened leeks are bathed in a creamy cheese sauce until you have a tray of pure joy. You may want to keep the whole pan for yourself.

Chicken & Leek Pot Pies

Chicken & Leek Pot Pies

Leeks pair perfectly with roasted chicken to create these delicious pot pies. To save time, this recipe uses frozen puff pastr. But if you’re feeling game and have the time, you can make your own pastry from scratch. To avoid a melted pastry, ensure the chicken and leek mixture is cooled before placing the puff pastry on top.
