Stuffed bell peppers are a thing back in my home country, but we usually prepare and eat them in a tomato sauce, served with mashed potatoes. Now this here, is my London version. I don't know which one I prefer, because they're both yummy in their own way, but the Slovenian version takes about a bajillion years to prepare, so I'm sticking with this one for now.

If you're preparing a meal for two people - or making a double portion to put one in the freezer like I always do - you'll need 2 bell peppers, an onion, 250 g of minced pork/beef, a handful of cous cous, tomato puree, a handful of grated cheese and the general - oil, salt, pepper.

First you'll want to remove bell pepper seeds and cut bell peppers in half. Then sprinkle a little bit of oil on top and put them in the oven on 200°C for 20 minutes. In the mean time, prepare cous cous according to the instructions on the packaging, and in a separate pan, saute diced onion and mix in the meat. Once the meat is cooked, you can add a few squeezes of tomato puree, cooked cous cous, and mix the whole thing together. The last step is to take the bell peppers from the oven to stuff them with the mixture, sprinkle a little cheese on top and put them back in the oven for additional ten minutes before you dig in. Bon appetit!

As always, if you end up making these, don't forget to post it on social media and tag me. I would love to see your creation and hear your thoughts! Also, if you'd prefer a video version of the recipe, check out this vlog of mine. The cooking bit starts at 6:41. 

Eating raw brocooli hadn't crossed my mind before trying out this broccoli salad. I just didn't think it would taste nice, and while I still wouldn't pick it up and eat it like an apple, I can assure you it's pretty damn incredible when you chop it up and combine it with some other ingredients. I've been raving about this salad for weeks now and it would be a crime not to share the recipe with you guys as well, so here you go! 

To make enough for three people, you'll need one broccoli, a half of a red bell pepper, one half of an apple, less than a handful of pine nuts, a teaspoon of honey, a half of a teaspoon of mustard, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

The instructions couldn't be easier. You just cut the broccoli into florets, cut the bell pepper into smaller pieces, slice the apple, and throw everything in a food processor. I usually mix this first and then add the rest of the ingredients before mixing it again. When it comes to olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, I didn't put down the exact amounts you need, because you just use these for seasoning and can't really go wrong unless you've never made yourself a salad before. 

I love to eat it as a side dish, along with beef quarter pounders, and I always add some plum tomatoes on top, because apparently, I'm obsessed with them. My housemate recently pointed out to me that I somehow manage to sneak them into every single meal, and you know what? I can't even deny it. Yes, I admit, I have an unhealthy a healthy obsession with tomatoes and I'm proud of it, haha!
