Recipe Round-Up: Cadry's Kitchen (Blog)

Hello and welcome to part two of my three part round up of the wonderful Cadry's Kitchen! You can see other recipes I've made from her blog here. Let's get into it!

Spring Roll Tortilla Wraps with Peanut Sauce: This recipe is technically with spicy peanut sauce, but of course I left out the chili for a classic, thick peanut sauce! I did cheat and use some Soyco Japanese Marinated Tofu instead of marinating and baking some from scratch, because I was after something very quick. And this is quick, and delightfully fresh! Full of lettuce, carrot, cucumber and coriander... of course I left out the capsicum. It's all wrapped up in a big tortilla.

Beer Braised Bratwurst with Sauerkraut with Mustard Mashed Potatoes: Tapping into my German heritage with this one! I used Tofurky Beer Brats (RIP Tofurky, please come back to Australia soon!), pale ale, and some lovely sauerkraut. I halved the recipe to make two servings. Served over Cadry's great mustardy potato mash. I used Dijon mustard in the mash.

Cheeseburger Pizza with Special Sauce: Cadry makes a lot of fun pizzas, and I knew I wanted to try this cheeseburger one from the moment I saw it on her blog. I assembled it using Coles Kitchen pizza dough, Leggo's pizza sauce, Fry's mince, and a mix of Follow Your Heart cheddar and mozzarella. The Fry's mince I've talked about before, it has a particular taste, but it worked OK in this sort of thing. The cooked pizza is topped with lettuce, tomato, and pickles (I left off the raw onion) and a very quick and easy special sauce.

Eggy Tofu: Cadry's Eggy Tofu is so quick and easy and delicious, it can be used in so many ways! Have a dedicated block of tofu that use slice some off for each day, or use some leftover tofu. It certainly has become my favourite way to use up leftover tofu! I've used it in a bunch of things, but the first time I used it I went simple, serving it on some avocado toast. The next time I went a bit fancier, making a toasted sandwich with A&T bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce.

Tofu Satay and Bok Choy with Peanut Sauce: This was meant to be all done on the grill, but I hope Cadry will forgive me for making it a bit easier for me by doing it all as a stir-fry. I scaled down the tofu marinade for a 300g block of tofu, that I cut into large chunks. To stir fry I used peanut oil, added some scallions, then the tofu until brown, then bok choy stems,and finally leaves. The peanut sauce was a little bit coconutty for me initially, but I added half the leftover tofu marinade and a squeeze of lime juice and then it was great. I just stirred the sauce through the stir-fry and served the whole lot of some jasmine rice.

Cilantro and Basil Pistachio Pesto: My interest was piqued when I saw this recipe show up on Cadry's blog, it sounded like a fun pesto combination. And it was! I made a half recipe, which still made loads. I used garlic powder in it rather than raw garlic, and I enjoyed that this recipe didn't call for a lot of oil. I used most of it to make some pasta for dinner, stirring it through some cooked spiral pasta and white beans, and served over spinach. There was some leftovers of this, so I chilled it and turned them into a pasta salad the next day by adding some mayo, roasted zucchini, tomato and peas. Finally, I had kept a bit of the pesto aside so I could make a wonderful sandwich with mayo, tomato, baby spinach, and a sauteed portobello.
