Tip-toeing around the food pet hates of two daughters, husband and myself to come up with a dinner everyone will enjoy is tricky. I love experimenting in the kitchen as I’m still scarred by having chops and three veg five nights a week as a kid.
So – even though I know it goes against all the rules – I always make sure there’s a packet of ravioli in the fridge for the person who rejects my evening creation.
This week, my husband will be eating lots of ravioli because I have a few pork meals planned and he refuses to eat the stuff. But I’m a bacon fiend and every now and then I get bored with pandering and decide to create stuff THAT I LIKE for a change.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
Monday: Turkey burritos fresca
Have you ever cooked with turkey mince? It’s surprisingly yummy. Especially when it’s wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and refried beans!
Get the recipe here: Turkey Burritos Fresca.
Tuesday: Slow-braised pork shoulder with salsa
I work from home on a Tuesday, so I’ll pop this in the slow-cooker around 10am. I’ll also be a handy way to use up the leftover tortillas from Monday night. My sister-in-law tested the recipe out last week on her three teenagers and they loved it.
