Recipes with salt and black pepper
Fluffy Sweet Potato Cheese Bread is a soft, enriched bread that hides a creamy sweet-potato filling and a generous layer of mozzarella in the centre. The dough is made with bread flour, egg, warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, and melted unsalted butter for a tender, pillowy crumb. Inside, mashed sweet potatoes are seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then loosened with milk for a smoother, creamier texture before being spread into the middle and topped with mozzarella.
This large Wellington is perfect for the holidays and serves 8 people. A show-stopping Beef Wellington built for special occasions: beef tenderloin is wrapped with savoury mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, and delicate crêpes, then finished in a golden puff pastry crust. Brushed with Dijon mustard for extra depth and served with a glossy red wine sauce, it’s a rich, celebratory centrepiece designed to feed a crowd.
A luxe, umami-rich spaghetti dish with a creamy matsutake-and-garlic base, boosted with truffle pesto and finished with caviar for a salty, elegant pop. A final drizzle of avocado oil adds extra smoothness, while simple salt and black pepper keep the flavours clean and focused.
The pork shoulder has the right amount of fat and lean meat, and the meat is tender. Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices and fry it. The meat is fragrant but not greasy, and soft but not brittle. This dish is marinated with dry rub (salt, five-spice powder, black pepper and garlic powder), which can bring out the original flavor of the meat. No water will overflow when frying, and it will enhance the wok aroma.
Cheesy Beef Potato Bowl turns cooked potatoes into cozy “potato bowls,” filled with a savory ground-beef mixture (egg, shallots, garlic, salt, sugar, and black pepper), topped with mozzarella, then baked until hot and melty—finished with a sprinkle of green onions for a fresh bite.
Lychee and Shrimp Balls are a refreshing and layered stir-fry that combines the sweet and juicy flavor of seasonal lychees with the springy freshness of shrimp. The dish is complemented by the crispness of celery, the simple flavors of black pepper and sea salt, and finished with a sauce made from mustard, soy sauce, and cornstarch. The result is a delightful interplay of sweetness, savory flavor, and a slightly pungent kick—refreshing, not greasy, and very appetizing. The combination of seasonal lychee and fresh shrimp is incredibly delightful and sweet.
Burrata Steak Salad pairs a steak cooked to your liking with creamy burrata on a bed of salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sweet corn is lightly seared in butter, then everything is tossed in a glossy balsamic-honey dressing with salt and black pepper, with optional truffle sauce adding an extra luxe finish.
The crust of these salt-and-pepper pan-seared lamb chops turns golden and slightly charred, offering an irresistible crisp; inside, they remain juicy and tender, letting you savor the lamb’s natural sweetness with every bite. Simply seasoned with salt and black pepper to highlight the ingredient’s true flavor, precise control of the cooking time is essential to avoid a tough texture.
This golden-crisp Potato Pan Cake delivers a savory and creamy combination in every bite. Soft potatoes form the perfect base, combined with a light batter that creates a crispy texture on the outside yet remains soft on the inside. Creamy melted cheese blends with the fresh aroma of cilantro and spring onions, providing a warm and appetizing flavor. A sprinkle of black pepper and a pinch of salt completes this dish, making it a special snack for a casual breakfast or afternoon tea.
A chipotle inspired recipe where two of my favourite components - guacamole and taco beef are moved onto an open toast! Chipotle on Toast is an open-faced sourdough toast topped with creamy guacamole (mashed avocado, red onion, coriander, lemon juice, and black pepper) and a warm, spiced minced-beef mix stir-fried with bell peppers, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. It’s a satisfying sweet-savoury contrast of crisp toast, rich avocado, and taco-style beef—optionally made extra silky with a spoon of Greek yoghurt.
