Came home from Pablo's and Bunny's to whip up dinner for my kids. Didn't take long.

Slice a cucumber - use shredder to create grooves on sides. Mark sliced the cucumbers and artfully arranged the shredded cucumber skin on top of the slices. Time taken: 5 minutes


Wash potatoes and slice into rings, season with s & p, fry in a hot pan. Time taken: 15/20 minutes. These are only half cooked - make sure potatoes are soft inside and crispy and golden brown on the outside.

Quick rinse of mushrooms and season with s & p, garlic, parsley and mixed herbs and put into a hot oven for 20 minutes.

Before:


After:


Marinate the steaks (ribeye) in black pepper, salt & olive oil. Put aside. Time taken: 2 minutes.


Panfry steaks 3.5 minutes each side - Time taken: 7 minutes.


In just under 45 mins, dinner was served. Plate styled by Mark who also suggested 'Mum, why don't you drizzle olive oil on top of the steaks just like in cooking shows - oh, no I have been watching too many food programmes'! My heart swelled with pride.

Cross section.


Busy children.
