More sauce ideas …

You could serve a more traditional sauce and if you want quicker still, then here's a “sort of” home-made tartare sauce.

You don't have to use Hellmann's – whatever your favourite go-to brand of mayo is!


Quick tartare sauce


Hellmann's mayonnaise – approximately two

heaped tablespoons

Caper paste – 1 teaspoon

Cornichons – two, finely diced

Capers to taste


Mix the caper paste with the mayo and fold in the

diced cornichons and capers


OR you could make a special coleslaw – yum!


Coronation Slaw


110g white cabbage, finely sliced – approximately

one third of a medium size cabbage


1 carrot – peeled and sliced with a

julienne peeler

1 spring onion – 15g finely sliced


salt and black pepper


30g ready to eat apricots, finely diced

30g sultanas soaked in mango and apple juice


50g mayo

50g sour cream

1 tsp mild curry powder


squirt of lime juice

1 tbsp mango chutney



The recipe given will give you a box of slaw – measuring approximately 11cms x 6.5cms x 5cms. One box lasted me a week, a spoonful here and a spoonful there – you'd be surprised how well it fits as a side to the fishcakes!

Then there's beetroot ...

Veggie or not, here I come ...


now for the “not” … and the photos.

Remember lining a baking sheet with bacon on Sunday and turning it into boxed bits?

The method in my madness is simple – if you have meat eaters to cater for then now is the time to dip into your Sunday stash of boxed bacon bits and sprinkle liberally over the top of your orzotto with miso roasted mushrooms .

Here are the photos :



Bacon bits in a box!

Everyone's happy.
