  • This week’s ingredient for #theweeklyingredientbyandra challenge is LEFTOVER COOKED RICE. Because food waste is something that truly concerns me and I believe that we could all put more effort into making better use of our leftover food. So today’s recipe (👆link in bio☝️) is an adaptation of the classic #kedgeree and it is inspired from the official #DowntonAbbey cookbook. I have used 2 types of rice (pilau and jasmine) and 2 types of fish (haddock and smoked cod), but any type of long grain rice would do. Smoked cod is also optional, but I particularly love a smoky kedgeree 😜 I’ll be featuring more leftover rice recipes in stories this week, so don’t forget to tag me @mintandrosemary and use the hashtag #theweeklyingredientbyandra if you’re trying this recipe or if you want to share an idea if how to use leftover cooked rice. #nofoodwaste #reducefoodwaste #cookingwithleftovers #mindfulcooking #cookbooks #foodhistory
  • Taking a break from all the house moving saga with an impromptu #theweeklyingredientbyandra challenge. I’m choosing FIGS for this week, and I give you this quick & easy brunch/breakfast idea: toasted crumpets, figs, blueberries, thyme, crushed pistachios and my signature blood orange marmalade (can be replaced with honey or maple syrup). Share your own creations (in posts or stories) with the hashtag #theweeklyingredientbyandra and a tag to my account @mintandrosemary so that I can see them and reshare 💛 #figsgloriousfigs #brunching #autumnrecipes

  • (French Onion) soup for the soul. Because you know... sometimes your soul needs a rather stylish, sophisticated and unapologetically cheesy version of the classic chicken soup. 👉 The full recipe (and some more serious thoughts about the importance of using good quality stock) can be accessed via the link in bio 🔎 or search ‘onion soup’ on www.mintandrosemary.com #onionsoup #frenchonionsoup #foodforsoul #comfortfood #cheesytuesday

  • Fish Friday inspiration: grilled tuna steak, Asian-style coleslaw & tenderstem broccoli 🥦🥦 What you need to know about tuna steak is that it only has to be cooked for a couple of minutes on each side. You need a very hot pan (a griddle pan would be ideal, but a cast iron pan would work just as well) and some basic seasoning on the fish (salt, pepper and a bit of oil). 👉link to the recipe (and more detailed cooking instructions) in bio 👆Or search ‘tuna’ on www.mintandrosemary.com 🔍 #fishfriday #tunasteak #healthydinner
  • AD/ Easy lunch/dinner inspiration featuring grilled Halloumi cheese, broccoli sprouts and a parsley pesto on the side. Two things you need to know about this recipe. First: parboil the broccoli sprouts, season with salt and coat with olive oil before grilling (you can thank me later). Second: the new space saving @GeorgeForemanUK Fit Grill is your new best friend. But don’t just take my word for it. Use the GEORGE15 discount code on their website and try it yourself: it’s small, takes little space on your kitchen counter and does a great job grilling your favourite veg (and cheese) #GeorgeForemanGrill #FitGrill
