Recreate Indonesian street-food favourites
Holding out for your next trip to Bali? Satisfy your love of travel by recreating one of Indonesia's most beloved dishes: Nasi Goreng. Inspired by Chinese fried rice, in Indonesian households Nasi Goreng is eaten at all times of the day (breakfast included) and is often sold by street vendors. It's the perfect recipe for using up leftovers. To make, precooked rice is fried then spiced with shallots, garlic, chilli, or ginger. The secret to achieving an authentic-tasting Nasi Goreng lies in using high-quality kecap manis (an Indonesian-made fermented soy sauce that's sweetened with palm sugar molasses) to guarantee the dish's unique sweet, savoury and toffee-like flavours.
Fill your home with the aromas of a fragrant Moroccan tagine
If Morocco is still on your travel bucket list, a homemade tagine will inspire you to move it to the very top. The Moroccan take on a slow-cooked stew, a tagine is a deliciously versatile and hearty dish. These easy-to-make, one-pot wonders are fuelled by wonderful, fragrant Moroccan spices that give vegies and meats big flavour. Quick to prep, simply leave your pot to simmer and allow it to do all the work. This tuna tagine will be a hit at your next dinner party.
Use up leftover veggies in a Spanish tortilla
While each region of Spain has its own cuisine specialities, the Spanish tortilla is widely consumed across the entire country. Made using eggs and potatoes then tossed with a medley of ingredients (common additions include onion, tomato, chorizo and capsicum), the tortilla can be served as a 'tapa', 'bocadillo' (sandwich) or 'pincho' (small snack). Tortilla is a great way to use leftover potatoes and any tomatoes that need to be eaten.
Entertain with Argentinian snacks
Believed to be a derivative of the Indian samosa, empanadas are fried or baked pastries stuffed with savoury fillings. The name comes from the verb "empanar" meaning "to wrap in bread or dough". Every region of Argentina has its own type of empanada recipe. Filled with slow-cooked beef, spices and green olives, these crispy empanadas make a heavenly snack or light meal with salad, and will transport you to Buenos Aires in just one bite.
