Spicy Rolled Beef Topside Stuffed with Mozzarella In A Spicy Curry Sauce

By Dan Toombs on Tuesday, July 31st, 2012 | No Comments

This Italian rolled beef topside recipe works even better with Indian spices! For me, topside of beef needs special treatment. Quality topside has a very nice flavour but I’d rather not serve it as a roast. No, it needs to be prepared in a way that brings out its delicious flavour while making it fall [...]

This springbok curry just had to be! Just a few weeks ago I didn’t even know what a springbok was. I’d seen them on African jungle television shows but never really picked up what they were called. I guess I didn’t really care. For those of you who are now wondering what these animals look [...]

These mozzarella stuffed courgette flowers are easier to make than they look! This recipe is similar to the Italian courgette (zucchini) flower recipes I used to make as a kid.

This white fish jalfrezi is a real favourite at my house! I’ve been making a lot of white fish curries lately. This is mainly down to the great fresh fish supplied by Delish Fish. I just can’t get enough! In fact, I’ve just run out but I did have a pack of filleted, cod, another [...]

These are two of my favourite barbecue marinades. I am going to show you two of the easiest marinades that are perfect for fish, meat and vegetables.

Tandoor oven or not, you should try this tandoori ostrich! Have you ever tried ostrich meat? I tried ostrich about ten years ago and absolutely loved it but until recently had forgotten all about it.
