The Magical Recipe Tree

Welcome

The idea for storing my most used recipes online came after a period of having my recipes and cookbooks tucked away in storage. The ease and convenience of having them available at the push of an internet button was simply to good to resist! As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I didn't create the majority of recipes on this site, I merely love to use them, but I'll attempt to document every recipe I know the origin of.
As a pescetarian, the selection of recipes will reflect this- but there will still be a few family recipes included from my pre-pesc years... though I aim to convert these to pesc-friendly dishes at some stage!

Spicy Tomato Soup


2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
450g of jarred roasted red peppers 
100g brown rice, cooked
1 cup low fat Greek yoghurt
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 bunch of spring onions, finely diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 bunch mint
2 tsp jalapeno peppers 

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan
Add the diced spring onions and garlic
Stir to coat with olive oil
When the mixture begins to turn golden, add the tomatoes, rice and peppers
Stir well to combine
Pour 2 cups of hot water over the mixture and bring to the boil
Lower the heat, cover with the lid and allow to simmer for 15 minutes
After 15 minutes has elapsed, remove the lid and use a stick blender to puree the soup to a consistency of your liking
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt and the jalapeno peppers and blitz with blender
Serve the soup drizzled with the yoghurt mixture and your choice of side
