Roasted Cauliflower Steak, I saw it on a menu recently and the restaurant in question wanted £14 for theirs… I mean 14 QUID!?!?!? This one is a lot cheaper and the chicken is an optional extra. 1 Cauliflower Portly’s BBQ Rub Chicken Thigh BBQ Sauce to garnish Cut the cauliflower in half and level out…

Portly Drinks | Aperini
Who doesn’t love a spritz in the summer? Aldi have got their own version of the classic Aperol called Aperini. It’s a game changer! I love an Aperol Spritz and now you can have that same bitter citrus drink for a fraction of the price. Aperol as I write this is around £15 in most…
Portly Cooks | Harissa & Mint Lamb Belly Pita
So, this one came to mind while I was watching a cooking demonstration last weekend. This is perfect for the BBQ and seeing as this weekend is a Bank Holiday why not wheel it out (brolly at the ready just in case) and chuck this on the coals. Lamb Belly 1 tsp Harissa Spice Mix…

Portly Cooks | Slow Food | Red Wine Braised Lamb Hearts

Portly Cooks | Uni Recipes – Beef Mince Pasta
Carrying on the theme of University food from my previous post, this one was a staple at Uni, well for me at least. It’s super cheap, dead easy to make and really rather tasty too. It has a handful of ingredients which even the most novice student cook can make into something edible, trust me….
Portly Eats | Voodoo Doughnuts | Portland, OR
After wandering around Lan Su Gardens and the rest of Chinatown in Portland under a blazing hot sun, we were in need or a giant sugar hit to perk ourselves up. There was only one place to go. Voodoo Doughnuts had been pointed out to us the evening before whilst en route for a Spanish…
Mighty Meatball Meal for under £1.50! #MidWeekMeal
You know when you have those evenings when you just really don’t feel like cooking? Well this one fits the bill fairly well and for me uses an ingredient I don’t normally use. Now, the tinned section of the supermarket is not one I frequent very often but I did happen to wander down there…
