1 Make the fajita spice mix: In a small bowl combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.

2 Make the vegetable foil pack: Fold a large piece of foil in half so you have a double layer. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Season the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning.

Fold the sides of the foil up and crimp it tightly on top to make a packet.

3 Season the steak: Season the steak liberally with the seasoning mix (about 3/4 teaspoon per side).

4 Preheat your grill to 450°F for high heat grilling.

5 Grill the packet and the steak: Once the grill is hot, transfer the veggie packet and the steak to the grill. Grill over steak over high, direct heat. After 4 minutes, flip the steak and grill for 5 to 7 additional minutes.

This will finish cooking the steak to about a medium to medium-rare temperature and soften the veggies. Remove both the foil packet and the steak from the grill and let cool for a few minutes.

6 Make the Dad Add Lime Sour Cream (optional): In a small bowl, combine sour cream, zest, juice from 1 lime, cumin, and salt. Serve alongside the fajitas.

7 Slice the steak: Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

8 Serve: You can add the steak to the veggies and serve the fajitas right out of the foil packet alongside a stack of flour tortillas. The foil should be strong enough, but if yours seems unstable, you can also transfer the ingredients to a serving platter.

There is of course math behind creating a new food. It should pay attention to its taste, texture and visuality. Acid, oil, salt and sweet ratios must be balanced. Many experienced cooks know that; The secret to a delicious meal is not in complex recipes, but in a few ingredients correctly combined.

For good flavor marriages, the chemical composition of the ingredients works well. The tomato and strawberry duo is a good example. They go well together because they both contain a compound called “eugenol”. The more specific combinations are those that share the same geography or season. Tomato-basil; thyme-lamb; As in the examples of anchovy-cornmeal.

Making a difference with familiar flavors, cheese in the refrigerator, spices in the pantry, lemon in the fridge… Are you ready to push the boundaries by putting aside prejudices without forgetting the mathematics of the job? Let’s start with broccoli.

Broccoli and Pistachio

Salty ingredients suit broccoli. For this reason, broccoli can be mentioned with salty fish in Italian cuisine, cheese in England, and soy sauce in Far East cuisine. For a lush meal, cut the broccoli into trees with its stems, drizzle olive oil on them and cook a little in the oven. In the chopper, turn the peanuts with a clove of crushed garlic, fresh basil leaves and olive oil. Mix it with the broccoli you have cooked. Add the fresh curd cheese and crumble raw pistachios.

In general, ingredients such as garlic, onion, thyme and parsley go well with mushrooms. The recipe for “duxelles” dedicated by the 17th century famous French chef to his boss, Marquis d’Uxelles, is a mixture of these ingredients. It is best to spread the paste, which contains finely chopped onion, mushroom, parsley and butter, on bread, use it as a pastry filling or add it to an omelet. Apart from these classics (as with all ingredients), the materials grown in the same season are the best suited for mushrooms. Chestnut for example. To balance the sweetness of chestnuts, mushrooms are added to tagliatelle, which Italians make with chestnut flour. Apart from thyme and parsley, tarragon is also a type of herb that suits mushrooms. In particular, you can chop a small amount of fresh tarragon into the cream mushroom soup. Another ingredient that goes well with mushrooms is cheese. It does not matter fresh or aged; It is perfect for balancing the salt, which is the only missing thing in mushrooms.
Finally, we recommend Sophia Coppola’s “The Beguiled” movie on mushroom picking, cooking and mushroom poisoning. The movie starts with mushrooms, ends with mushrooms …

Simmer the sloppy joe mixture: Simmer the mixture for a few minutes to combine flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. It will probably need a pinch of salt and pepper. Add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar to make it sweeter or a dash of apple cider vinegar to make it a bit more tart.
Make the sandwiches: Toast your buns and add thinly sliced red onions to the bottom half of the bun. Top with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the vegan sloppy joe filling. Add pickles and eat immediately.
LEFTOVERS: Leftover sloppy joe mixture will store well in the fridge for a few days or it can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat sloppy joe mixture gently over the stove with a splash of water. Spoon it atop a baked sweet potato for lunch the next day if desired!
Once I got them to try a tiny bite, they were all in on it.

This is one of my favourite warming dishes. cooking the lentils in coconut milk makes each bite much creamier, while the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, chilli and curry powder add such a lovely blend of flavours.

ingredients
400g green lentils, washed and drained
2x 400g cans coconut milk
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 large tomatoes, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon hot chilli powder
1 teaspoon chilli flakes, optional
method
place a pan over a medium heat.
add the chopped garlic with olive oil and salt and let that cook for 1-2 minutes before adding all the spices, followed by the chopped tomatoes.
stir well, letting the garlic and spices fry together for a few minutes before stirring through the lentils, followed by the coconut milk.
bring the mix to the boil, before reducing to simmer over a low temperature.
leave to cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour until thick and creamy – making sure to stir it every 10-15 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and adding a splash of water if it feels like it’s drying out.
once cooked, stir through a little more salt and serve. we love it with avocado, chilli flakes and coconut yoghurt.
