Chicken, Mushroom, and Leek Risotto✨ This one’

Chicken, Mushroom, and Leek Risotto✨ This one’s a regular in our household and one of my favourite chook dishes.

It’s super tasty, nutritionally well-balanced, and packed with protein (which is pretty rare for a risotto). Chicken’s such a versatile ingredient—it’s lean, easy to cook, cost-effective and full of protein🙏.

Check out @chickendinnernz for more chicken recipe inspiration!

Here’s the ingredients (method in comments):
500 g boneless chicken thigh
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
Olive oil
1 leek
300 g button mushrooms
1 cup arbioio rice
1 L chicken stock
A few big handfuls of baby spinach
½ cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic
A big handful of fresh parsley or basil
1 Tbsp butter
¼ cup parmesan cheese, or more to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

@chickendinnernz have just launched a website packed with tasty chicken recipes – head to chickendinner.co.nz for more!

Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to swi

Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to switch up your meals with seasonal produce🌸🥔🍄‍🟫🥑.

Research shows that we tend to eat most of our veggies at dinner, so here’s a breakfast and lunch idea featuring spring vegetables.

🍄‍🟫First up is a mushroom scramble on toast. Mushrooms are not just delicious and versatile, they’re also super nutritious and packed with B vitamins, like Niacin and Riboflavin.

🥑🥔For lunch, I love this simple spring salad. It’s made with seasonal Perlas potatoes, creamy avocado, and creamy avocado. Avocados bring a boost of heart-healthy fats, Vitamin B6 and Folate, while potatoes offer a good dose of Vitamin C.

Remember, buying in-season veggies gives you the best flavour and value. So, make the most of what spring has to offer and enjoy these versatile ingredients beyond just dinner!

✨Behind the scenes at the 2024 @newzealandfoodawards judging✨

As a taste judge, I focus on an entries sensory aspects, like how it tastes, its texture, aroma and appearance.

Fun fact: the NFZA judging panel actually features a cross-section of the NZ food and beverage industry, with eight different specialities, including technical and business judges, through to packaging and sustainably experts! It’s robust to say the least🙏.

Stay tuned for the finalist announcement in one week’s time (2nd September)🎉.

If you’re a matcha latte lover(like me💃), and keen for another way to use your matcha powder, give this energising chia pudding a go✨

It’s great to meal prep and will happily sit in the fridge for 3-4 days. When ready to eat, pair with yogurt and fruit for a balanced brekkie, or enjoy as is for a snack.
