Pork Potsticker Dumplings

Preparation: 30 Minutes

Cooking Time: 20 Minutes

Pork dumplings are a fantastic oriental dish that i love. You can buy them frozen from your local Asian supermarket and they are lovely, but relatively expensive! This recipe is cheap, packed full of flavor and super easy to make. I'm using pre-made dumpling pastry that you can buy pre-rolled, pre-floured and are found in the Asian supermarket. and this speeds the process along. If you want to make fresh pastry, its simply boiling water and flour and a pinch of salt but it will add an hour or more to your cooking time!! This recipe is my take on them, and will easily put a rest to your craving for oriental food! These freeze great too, so any that you don't cook can be sealed in a freezer bag and kept in there for up to three months.

Habanero Corn Salsa

Preparation: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

If you don't know it by now, I love spicy food. This salsa is super sweet, spicy, fresh and it makes the perfect dip. Once you put this on the table it will be gone in a matter of seconds, so make sure you have have enough ingredients for a couple of batches! The habanaro chilli is EXTRA SPICY but it has an unmistakable flavor that makes this salsa wonderful, but be warned, it's your decision to go seeds in or seeds out!!

Vegetable Stuffed Peppers

Preparation: 10 Minutes

Cooking time: 40 Minutes

We all love peppers, but we don't give them all the attention we should. Every once in a while, the pepper deserves to be its own dish as opposed to being just another ingredient used to make something else taste better. You can eat these Stuffed Peppers with a knife and a fork, or you can pick it up with your hands and get stuck right in, which makes these guys perfect for BBQ season, and it's a great vegetarian option. This recipe can be cooked on a BBQ just as easy as in the oven, so make sure that you keep these in mind on the next sunny day.

Caramelised Red Onion Chutney

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 1 hour

This awesome chutney is a sweet, savory delight. It is not only the perfect dinner party food, served with a nice cheese and wine, but I personally find it to be an amazing burger topping, and it turns the most boring sandwich into the best. This can be made, and kept in your fridge for up to three months, and even though you can eat it as soon as it cools down, it tastes its best after a month. This recipe makes enough to fill a 250g jar to the top, but if your making it for an occasion simply double the recipe and this works perfectly.

Ultimate Jalapeno Poppers

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

In Ireland up until recently it was near impossible to find fresh jalapeno peppers. As soon as i discovered they sold them in supermarkets finally, they had to be put to use A.S.A.P.  A fantastic finger food, the jalapeno popper is a favorite among so many! Usually coated in a spiced breadcrumb, this recipe takes them to the next level. Smokey streaky bacon rashers are the not so secret ingredient, and it makes them AWESOME! If you're not a jalapeno popper fan, you will be after these!
