Olive, Basil & Balsamic

Ingredients:

1/2 clove garlic grated

handful of basil leaves chopped

handful of good quality, stoned black olives chopped

6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp good quality balsamic vinegar

freshly ground salt & pepper to taste

Bash everything up together in a pestle and mortar. It’s very tasty over salads but I also use this with cous cous, and as a marinade over vegetable kebabs for barbecuing or grilling, using courgettes, aubergine, onions, tomatoes and peppers.

Lemon & Pepper

Ingredients:

juice of 1 lemon

3 tbsp creme fraiche or mayonaise

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

1 tsp Dijon mustard

salt to taste

Mix all the ingredients together and serve drizzled over chicken, salad or fish.

Honey Mustard

Ingredients:

1 tsp clear honey

1 tsp wholegrain mustard

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

salt to taste

Whisk or shake all the ingredients together and serve on salad, fish, pork or chicken. Try adding a tablespoon of Worcester sauce to this as well, it’s delicious!
