Corn ribs Named as such because of the rib-like shape and the manner in which it is eaten (like ribs!), corn ribs are apparently a food trend that went nuts a couple of years ago. I’m so unfashionable when it comes to anything – food, fashion, or otherwise – I didn’t even realise this was a trend until I started writing this post today and did my usual obligatory Google research!...

And…. welcome to GRILLING WEEK!!🔥🔥🔥 🔥Welcome to GRILLING WEEK!🔥 With 4th of July around the corner and several pending invitations to “pop over to the States” to join the festivities, I thought I’d get the party started with GRILLING WEEK here on RecipeTin Eats!! Here’s a little preview of what’s in store – if this doesn’t make your stomach grumble, you’re either made of stone, or a vegetarian…. 😂...

Lemon Bars These Lemon Bars are like a simpler form of Lemon Tart which is made with a shortcrust pastry that’s chilled, rolled out, blind baked then cooled before filled with lemon curd, then baked again, then cooled. Beautiful. Elegant. Impressive. But for the days when you don’t have time for all that, Lemon Bars is what you make! It’s incredibly simple: the base is blitzed in a food processor, pressed in a pan, baked, then just pour over a simple lemon curd mixture and bake again....

Moroccan stuffed eggplant You’ll often hear me declaring quite passionately that I think eggplant is one of the most underrated vegetables around. They’re cheap. They’re meaty. And they’re fabulously versatile, used in cuisines worldwide like Asian, Italian, Greek and Indian, prepared through various cooking methods including frying, steaming, roasting and simmering. Today, we’re smearing, roasting and stuffing. Well, topping, not scooping-and-stuffing, in a manner that gives it a semi-stuffed vibe. Think of this as a mid-week take on traditional stuffed eggplant dishes you find in Arabic cuisine that involves hollowing out eggplants, stuffing with rice, meat, herbs and nuts, often baked in a tomato sauce....

Doesn’t the yolk look fantastic? It would put a smile on anyone’s face, cutting into a quesadilla and discovering that. 🙂 Sure, you could just have scrambled eggs inside the quesadilla. But this is so much more interesting! Plus, I have a thing about whole eggs. I just love soft yolks. It’s my favourite part of the egg. I just don’t get all those health-conscious people who order egg white omelettes....

The chocolate cookie is loved by kids at home. I had a pack of cocoa powder at home and wanted to use it. First I thought of making an eggless chocolate cake but on popular demand from kids tried these Chocolate cookies. They turned out so yummy and my daughter helped me in mixing the flour and shaping the cookies. As these cookies stay good for a week in an airtight container, they can be packed in kid’s snack boxes....

Low cal at 250 calories and incidentally vegan. Yay vegans! Eggplant Curry This is a curry inspired by the famous Sri Lankan eggplant curry we love at New Shakthi Sri Lankan in Homebush (Sydney, Australia). It’s one of those “hole in the wall” places where the servers get grumpy if you dare to take the time to mull over which 3 curries you want in your lunch pack. “Hurry, hurry, people are waiting!...

We seem to have a lot of new readers here on My Heart Beets and I’m guessing that’s because so many of you have made the decision to switch to a real food and/or Paleo diet. If that’s you, congratulations on making your health a priority. If you’re a long time reader, thank you for sharing my website with your friends and family. I recently asked my readers to share their advice to those just starting out on a real food journey and below is a compilation of what they have to say as well as some tips from yours truly, me (I’m Ashley by the way....

Handy stove cooked side dish – no need to juggle oven space for Sunday night roast dinners and holiday feasts! A very special Green Bean recipe! This is not your usual “light and fresh” green bean side dish that you’ll pull out night after night. It is unapologetically indulgent and that’s exactly what this is intended to be – a special side dish for all those times when you want something that’s a cut above the usual quick ‘n easy vegetable sides that we make for quick midweek meals....

Hot sausage stuffed portobello mushrooms are loaded with flavor and so super simple to make! You just need 5 ingredients and BAM, you’ve got a meal. I realize that little stuffed mushrooms are a thing. They’re cute and fancy and make for a tasty appetizer. But really, by the time you’re done eating those little ‘shrooms, you’ve basically eaten the equivalent to one giant mushroom cap, right? So let’s save ourselves some time and eat a giant cap instead....

How to cook steak – the cheffy way! Today’s recipe is more of a technique than a recipe – but it’s one that all steak lovers should know because it’s easy, worthy of using on high quality steaks and also a way to really elevate economical steaks. It’s as simple as this: while the steak is searing in the pan, throw in butter, garlic and thyme and baste continuously as the steak finishes cooking....

How do I make rice?How do I know what kind of potatoes/onions to use in a recipe?What does a “fistful of chole” mean? A “tip of a finger” of jeera/cumin? (How did our parents learn to cook?!)How do I make quick pickled onions, Indian style? I’ve pretty much figured out the answer to all of these questions and I try to share those details (if they matter) when I write a blog post/recipe....

I feel like curry fanatics outside of India are familiar with well known Indian favourites like Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Goan Fish Curry and Biryani, but aren’t so familiar with Indian sides. Given that I’ve embarked on a bit of an Indian curry mission, I’m going to share a handful of quick and easy vegetable sides for curries – starting with this Indian Salad with Tomato and Mint Dressing. Refreshing is the key here....

What is Aam Panna? This green mango cooler is so refreshing! It’s the drink you’re going to want to make during a heatwave. Think of it as the Indian version of lemonade, only instead of lemons, this recipe calls for another sour fruit: unripe green mangoes. The green mangoes are the reason this recipe calls for an instant pot. Green mangoes are practically as hard as rocks – and steaming them in a pressure cooker is a quick and hands-off way to cook them....

These Punjabi potatoes and green beans are cooked in basic Indian spices and are easy to make, especially in an electric pressure cooker. Potatoes absorb flavor well, and so while simple, this dish is also very flavorful. Aloo beans take minutes to prep (especially if you decide not to peel the potatoes) and minutes to cook. I typically use Yukon gold potatoes when making this dish, but any potato will work....

This recipe for arbi is kind of like an Indian version of scalloped potatoes – only, it’s more delicious than you can even imagine! Arbi (taro root) cooks perfectly and easily in the instant pot and with my tasty spice combo, you’re going to end up with an incredible Punjabi dish. Unlike a lot of instant pot recipes, this one does not call for a lot of sauce. Truthfully, I’m not a fan of drowning veggies in sauce — unless something is meant to be a curry, of course....

This isn’t your typical cheesecake. It’s cheese-free and egg-free, and it’s made with yogurt. This chocolate cheesecake is a variation of my popular 2-ingredient cheesecake recipe. The best thing about this fuss-free, show-stopping dessert? It might just be one of the best chocolate cheesecake recipes out there. It’s definitely one of the easiest. The Ingredients We’ve got three layers of chocolate here. Crust: chocolate sandwich cookies + butterFilling: cocoa powder, condensed milk, and greek yogurtChocolate Ganache: chocolate chips, butter, heavy cream...

This instant pot mint pulao is a great way to use up all of the fresh mint growing in your garden! Or if you’re like me and have a brown thumb (figuratively and literally… my thumb is actually brown) then you can drive over to your nearest grocery store or farmers market to pick up some up so you too can enjoy this aromatic and flavorful pulao/pilaf! Mint pulao, also known as pudina pulao, is a simple rice recipe that goes well with raita/yogurt....

The result: this cinnamon and nutmeg spiced, brown sugar-sweetened, sweet potato pie dal soup. I have a very special announcement to make. Exactly nine months ago, Sweet Potato Pie eloped with Red Lentil Dal. While I was initially a bit resentful about not being invited to the wedding (considering the two met in MY kitchen), all hurt feelings melted away after meeting their new little one, Sweet Potato Pie Dal Soup....
