Roasted Vegetable Israeli Couscous – Leels Cooks

A simple couscous salad that’s perfect for light summer dinners or family potlucks. Also a great way to use leftover grilled vegetables! This recipe is an homage to a salad I used to make back in my catering days but with my own twist /changes. Lightly toasted pearl couscous adds a nutty flavour and depth, finding balance amongst the smoky vegetables, tart lemon and sweet cranberry. What you need: 250 grams Israeli or pearl couscous 1 3/4 cup water 2 tbsp canola or grapeseed oil 1 small /medium zucchini 1/2 red pepper 1 shallot 1/4 cup dried cranberries Dressing: 1 … Read more

Fresh Mango Lime Salsa – Leels Cooks

General

I’m a big fan of fruit in salsa. It’s just so fresh and summery and goes AMAZINGLY well with anything grilled. I had planned to make a peach salsa, but couldn’t find any peaches <_< so we went with mango! Mangos are my favourite fruit so it makes this salsa extra special for me. Feel free to swap whatever fruit or ingredients to make this your own! Pineapple, peaches, black beans, corn. The basic set of ingredients will make anything an awesome salsa! I chose the tommy atkins mango over ataulfo. American supermarkets generally carry either, if at all. The … Read more

Baby Red Potato Salad – Leels Cooks

General

A super simple and fresh potato salad. No mayo so you can easily take this one out for picnics or potlucks without having to worry! These are not roasted because I like the clean, gentle, sweet taste of the potato to come through, suitable to go along with fresh summer dishes or grilled meats. It also gets better the longer you let it chill, so enjoy this one for a few days (if you can resist!) These even make weirdly delicious roasted potato or hashbrowns for breakfast a few days later if you’re “over” potato salad by then. Yum! What … Read more

Tonkatsu Curry Ramen – Leels Cooks

General

I’ve been meaning to make a version of this classic dish myself, this is in no way a unique recipe or has it changed significantly, it’s really perfect just the way it is. My version is very low effort with great taste, no dashi or any long stewing, use any noodles and garnishes you like! With a slightly lighter broth, toasted garlic chips and double breaded crispy tonkatsu, give this recipe a try for an easy weeknight dinner! What you need: 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock 1 box golden curry (the small 100g box) 4 pork chops, bone removed … Read more

Chicken Karaage – Leels Cooks

General

I had a huuuge craving for chicken karaage so I went out of my way to make it as close to authentic I could (without the sake). Chicken thighs and potato starch are a must. The fattier thigh meat holds up better to frying than breast meat and is significantly more flavourful. The potato starch makes the chicken crispier and adds a delicious flavour. Highly recommended for this recipe, and I personally wouldn’t make it without. You can also use corn starch or regular flour in a pinch but it wont have that crunch!You can find potato starch at most … Read more

Chai Cinnamon Rolls with Sweetened Condensed Milk Glaze – Leels Cooks

LRM_EXPORT_235285000915338_20181002_143516984

General

It might be a bit of a tongue twister, but trust me these Chai Cinnamon Rolls are the BEST thing. I was brainstorming ideas for blog posts and incorporating Chai flavours into something was one of them. I figured just amping up the spices in something that already featured one of them would work, and this did! These rolls are fluffy, feathery, deeply spiced and topped with a rich creamy sweetened condensed milk glaze that isn’t too sweet, but enough to balance everything.It seems like a lot of ingredients, but trust me it’s not too difficult and the pay off is … Read more

Pumpkin Spiced Latte Cake – Leels Cooks

General

I wasn’t sure what to call this coffee cake. It’s like a traditional streusel topped cake, but with actual coffee elements along with a spiced pumpkin cake. It’s got pumpkin, spices, a brown sugar coffee swirl and a coffee crumble topping. It has to be a pumpkin spice latte, right? I combined a few different recipes into this one and I think it works really well. The cake is subtly spiced and moist while the coffee elements are a bit stronger and deliver some crunch. What you need: Swirl: 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 2 1/2 tsp instant coffee … Read more

Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausage – Leels Cooks

General

I’m a terrible person and I almost always buy those frozen turkey patties. They’re cheap, low calorie and zero effort. Even though I have years of experience and can cook almost anything, I’m an extremely lazy cook. These are fairly low effort for a high pay off and as a lazy person, I absolutely recommend giving these Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages a go. They’re savoury, a tiny bit sweet and have a bit of kick to them. Make them any size you want, freeze em raw or cooked, or just cave and eat them all like I did. What you … Read more

Spiced Candied Pumpkin Seeds – Leels Cooks

General

It’s the time of year where I crave comforting foods and spiced/toasted flavours. I love roasting my own nuts and seeds and this is my favourite lazy way to make “candied” seeds for snacking on. These are even great on salads or squash soups. You get crunch from the toasted pumpkin seeds, sweetness and crackly crumble from the brown sugar, warm spices and the perfect hint of salt to balance it all out. This is not a proper way to work with sugar or candy anything – so no worries about candy thermometers and balancing temperature. Just a lovely crunchy … Read more

Cheeseburger Tot Casserole – Leels Cooks

General

I love tots. Very, seriously, deeply love them. They’re probably my favourite potato preparation, with spicy curly fries and mash coming in 2nd and 3rd. Just something about those crisp little gems and how well they hold up to being topped with crazy things. Totchoes? Chili tots? CHEESEBURGER TOTS? There are a few recipes out there for cheeseburger tots, but they usually call for only about 3 ingredients and one of them is a can of condensed soup. We can do better, and we did! This dish is still rich, savory, and deeply beefy. We lighten it up by serving … Read more
