I just recently discovered this recipe and the family is already hooked! These Pork Patties with Apples are an absolute treat… let me just tell you that the patties are made with bacon. Need I say more? Besides, the combination of pork, apples, and sage is a classic that never fails and one of my…
Lamb Tajine
There is nothing I like more than to eat stew on a winter’s day. Sometimes, I like to add a touch of exotic to my dinner, so instead of making a “normal stew”, I make tajine. I have already shared my recipes for Lamb Tajine with Quinces and Lemon Chicken Tajine with Olives – 2 of my…
Italian Sausage with Bell Peppers and Potatoes
I LOVE sausage. As a child, it used to be my favourite dish ever. We would almost only have it in summer though, as we would find the best sausage in Sicily. We would barbecue it and enjoy it in the most simple way. It was so good that you didn’t really have to add…
Beef Carpaccio alla Cipriani
Chilled, tender slices of thin beef paired with Cipriani sauce make Beef Carpaccio alla Cipriani a refreshing starter with light flavours, ideal for warm days or simple menus.
Italian Rice Salad
Combining tender rice with tuna, ham, cheese, olives and vegetables, Italian Rice Salad is a chilled Italian classic that’s fresh, colourful and satisfying.
Pasta with Baby Eggplants
Finally I am back with another pasta recipe! This Pasta with Baby Eggplants is a dish my grandmother used to make in Sicily. I have always loved it… it’s very easy to make and whenever I find baby eggplants at the grocer, I always buy them to make this pasta. What sets this sauce aside…
Fried Pasta
Crisp, golden Fried Pasta with a savoury tomato aroma makes weekday lunches effortless, turning simple leftovers into something warm, satisfying, and ready in minutes. My mother often made fried pasta. It isn’t really a proper recipe since the ingredients don’t have exact proportions, and you can easily adjust it depending on what’s left in the…
Salt-Crusted Snapper
I am very excited about today’s recipe! Salt-Crusted Snapper is one of my mum’s signature dishes. In fact, she made it for us just a few days ago and I managed to get her recipe for it to share with all of you here on the blog! Aren’t you lucky? If you like fish, this…
Valentine’s Day Recipe Round-up 2017
As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a roundup of a few of my favourite recipes that I think would work great for a romantic dinner. Ready to drool?? Here goes MsM’s Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup for 2017!
Roast Pork and Stuffing
Roast Pork and Stuffing brings colour and comfort to the Christmas table, with golden crackling and a fruity filling that tastes like celebration.
Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes
If you follow Manu’s Menu regularly, you will know that artichoke is my absolute favourite winter vegetable! Today I will show you how to make Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes, a real treat! The tortellini are filled with Parmigiano Reggiano and the artichokes are used in a very simple sauce. The combination is amazing and…
Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel
My parents are here for the holidays and, like every year, I get to eat food from my childhood cooked by my mother. We used to eat a lot of fish when living in Italy and today I will share my mother’s recipe for one of my favourite dishes: Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel –…
Baked Ndunderi
Today I am back with a traditional recipe from the south of Italy: Baked Ndunderi (pronounced “doon-der-ee”) . Ndunderi are hand-made gnocchi-like pasta from the Amalfi Coast, near Naples. I must admit that, unfortunately, this pasta is not very well known around Italy, which is a real pity as it tastes amazing. Ndunderi are a…
Ham and Cheese Skillet Focaccia
I love focaccia, but I don’t make it often as the real Focaccia Genovese requires a few hours of resting time and I don’t always have it. I have recently shared with you the recipe for a potato based focaccia which takes a lot less time to make and today I will show you how…
Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry
Sweet and Sour anything is my favourite Chinese dish. In fact, I really love my Sweet and Sour pork fritters and the other day I was severely craving them. The fact is that, after having my gallbladder removed, I am trying to avoid deep fried food (at least for the time being ;-)). That’s when…
Saffron Pumpkin Porcini Risotto
I must admit that one of the things I miss the most about living in the Northern Hemisphere are the seasons. Don’t get me wrong, we have the same seasons down here, but they are “reversed”. In fact, right now, it’s the end of spring. Besides the fact that I will never be able to…
Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli
Today I am going to share the recipe for a delicious sandwich: Lemon Chicken Wrap with Aioli. This recipe is an ode to the Mediterranean: the chicken marinade’s flavours are of clear Greek-Turk inspiration, while the Aioli component brings in the south of France and Spain and the arugula (also known as rocket) and tomatoes…
Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce
Add Italian Sausages in Tomato Sauce to your weekly menu for a hearty, versatile 35-minute dish that goes well with pasta, creamy polenta, or warm crusty bread.
Mushroom and Mozzarella Skillet Chicken
I am a huge mushroom fan and, if you follow my blog, you also know that I cannot live without cheese. So it’s easy to understand that I find today’s recipe – Mushroom and Mozzarella Skillet Chicken – simply irresistible! Hearty mushrooms? Check. Gooey stretchy cheese? Check. Juicy and tender chicken bites? Check. What more…
Sicilian Eggplant Bake
Layers of roasted eggplant, sweet tomatoes, and gooey cheese make this Sicilian Eggplant Bake taste like home-cooked perfection.
Passato di Verdure
Today I am going to share with you a typical Italian recipe: Passato di Verdure, aka Italian vegetable veloute. It is a very common soup and we often have it during the cold autumn and winter months. The truth is, there is no real recipe for Passato di Verdure, as its ingredients can vary from…
Swordfish Caponata
A Sicilian classic with a seafood twist, Swordfish Caponata blends tender eggplant and firm fish in a rich sweet and sour tomato glaze.
Chestnut Porcini Risotto
I have been living in the Southern Hemisphere for over 10 years now, but I will never get used to the idea that September, October and November are spring months! Every year, when September comes, I feel like eating autumn food like apples, mushrooms, pumpkin, chestnuts and the likes. I doubt I will ever get…
Parmigiano Reggiano Tomato Chicken
Today’s recipe is another one of my family’s favourites: Parmigiano Reggiano Tomato Chicken. It is a very simple dish with the colours and all the flavours of Italy: tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil. Like all simple dishes, the quality of the ingredients you use to make it is really important. Try and use authentic…
Italian Tuna Loaf
My kids don’t like seafood much… but they do make an exception for tuna. So, with that in mind, I try and use tuna in different ways and recipes so that they don’t get bored of eating it. Today I will share with you my recipe for an Italian classic dish that we call Polpettone…
Mint Chicken Pita Pockets
These Mint Chicken Pita Pockets are another low-fat lunch idea I developed when I was having gallstone issues. I made it with fat-free mayo, but you can use your favourite brand/type. I used my recipe for Poached Chicken in a Mint Sauce to fill these pita pockets and I also added some lettuce and tomatoes…
Prosciutto Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Meatloaf
As you know, after my gallbladder removal, I have started to gradually re-introduce fats into my diet. I love meatloaf (my mum makes a mean one – click here for the recipe), but I still find beef mince a bit too heavy to digest. So, I have decided to try a chicken meatloaf. That’s how…
