It’s getting cold, although you could be reading this when it’s warm, doesn’t matter, this recipe is well fun. The kids and their buddies will love you for this, plus it will get them eating more fruit. It’s really easy. By the way, you need to slice a watermelon so make sure you have a sharp knife – believe it or not, that’s dangerous – so don’t let the kids have it!

I have listed the fruit that I used, but you have probably worked it out by now, it can be anything that you can skewer...and the kids like. But, it's also an opportunity to try something new on them - they'll be distracted by having fun fun fun.

Ingredients
  • 1whole watermelonthe top will be sliced off and then ball out the flesh
  • 1 orangecut it in half
  • 1punnet blackberries
  • 1punnet raspberries
  • 1punnet strawberries
  • 1punnet pineapple
  • 1 mangoslice off the flash and cut in cubes
  • 1 bananacut this up into small chunks
  • 100grams chocolatethis will be melted for some dipping action (dark is best 70%)
  • 30wooden skewersdo these count as an ingredient? Not sure, you'll need em though.
  • 3 kiwipeel it or ball out with a spoon and...cut into chunks
Instructions
  1. Grab your melon with a tea towel and with a sharp knife slice off the top - enough that there is plenty of red flesh exposed, but not too far down.
  2. Hollow out the entire Watermelon, try not to mulch the flesh, turn as much of it as possible into chunks for them to eat. Once you're happy, just scrape out with a spoon, doesn't have to spotless, see the pics. This is your BBQ.
  3. Take half of the orange and skewer on as a handle. Throw the blackberries into the hollowed watermelon - this is the charcoal.
  4. Get your skewers to make the grill - get some scissors and cut them to size. There will be little hands flying all over the place so make sure none of the skewers protrudes from the melon.
  5. Using a Bain Marie (saucepan on the heat with some water in the bottom and a glass heatproof bowl balancing atop it) slowly melt the chocolate. This will need to remain runny, I was fortunate to have a tealight heated fondant thingy.
  6. Make a couple of fruit kebabs with a selection and place on the grill - so the kids get the gist. Make the other fruit available and some skewers, give them a quick safety briefing and then release them. Vultures!
  7. Ruddy bloody fun and really healthy - two birds one stone!

I accidentally made it up, but that’s not to say it doesn’t exist. So in actual fact this could be a South East Asian ‘influenced’ English dish – Changlo food! You saw it here first.

Anyway, I fancied sweet and sour chicken, but wanted to add lots of chilli and forgot to buy pineapple, so used some mango I had – hence…

It’s really good – I also knocked up a cheats Mushroom Chow Mein on the side.

Sweet and Sour Chilli Mango Chicken | National Dish Recipe from South East Asia
This recipe goes to show, that if you have some items in your fridge or pantry that don't quite fit the original recipe, you can make do and come up with something ace.
Servings2 People
Prep Time20 Minutes
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
Main bits
  • 2small skinless chickenbreasts, diced into large, as square as possible, bite sized chunks (big ones ok?)
  • 1/2 red peppercut the same size as the onion
  • 1large white onioncut in to 1 inch square pieces, look at the pic
Sauce
Marinade
Mushroom Chow Mein
Instructions
  1. First thing is to marinate the chicken. To do that, in a bowl add the diced chicken, soy, garlic powder and Chinese five spice - leave that whilst you do the rest - not long really.
  2. Chop everything up and get it ready - you want decent chunks. If you're doing a side, I did a cheats Mushroom Chow Mein, chop that stuff up too.
  3. In a hot wok, add a tiny dash of oil and seal the chicken on each side, don't cook it all the way through. When done, drain off any of the sauce you haven't cooked off and put the chicken aside and wipe clean the wok.
  4. Whilst you were doing that, in a separate non-stick pan, roast off the sesame seeds. Don't burn them, just add a little golden colour and then remove from the pan and set aside in a cold bowl.
  5. Back on the heat, add a little oil and add the onion, garlic, chopped coriander stalks, two thirds of the chilli and the salt. Gently fry until the onion starts to clarify (not completely though) - try to avoid any charring, you almost want things looking raw.
  6. Next add the chicken back in along with the red pepper, paprika, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, sugar and half the sesame seeds - heat and stir for a minute. Then pour in all of the mango juice (oh yeah) - bring to the boil and sprinkle the corn flour avoiding lumpage - stir. If you feel that a little more sauce is required, carefully add some water - it will reduce and thicken moving forward.
  7. After 10-15 minutes, you should be pretty much done, throw in the diced mango and gently stir in to the sauce, it's ready when the mango is hot.
  8. You can do the chow mein real quick. Fry off the mushrooms with the garlic and a good glug of dark soy sauce. After a few minutes add the noodles and toss and mix everything until it's a lovely soy sauce colour and hot.
  9. Serve it up in to something that you can keep it warm in.
  10. The chicken will now be ready. Serve it in a bowl and sprinkle with the remaining raw chilli, sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
  11. Thank you South East Asia stroke England...maybe... United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland China Thailand

How do you make a healthy burrito when they contain both bread AND rice – it’s a challenge?

Compromise – in this case, the rice – which unfortunately messes up the gluten free option.  Use our simple recipe for the cauliflower rice.

Add to that, this is also a fusion of East and West – China meets Mexico and it’s superb.

How do you make a healthy burrito? | Chinese crispy duck cauliflower rice burritos
Ok, so this is only a lower than normal carb burrito, it works though - so any port in a storm.
Servings2 people
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Ingredients
Instructions
Cooke the perfect duck breast
  1. If you want your duck crispy on the outside and pink in the middle, whilst keeping it from tasting like boot leather, follow this and you'll get it right every time.
  2. Get a decent frying pan on to a medium heat, whilst it heating up you can prep the duck.
  3. Get your breasts and rub them all over with oil - grow up.
  4. In a bowl mix the Chinese five spice, cayenne, garlic powder and salt - then toss your breasts, covering it in the mixture. Seriously, grow up.
  5. Put them skin side down in the pan and leave for 10 minutes - the cooking should be easy going, if it's spitting and sizzling a bit, turn down the heat. The mixture will turn very dark on the skin, that's not burnt - but keep the heat under control. Turn on your grill (broiler) - medium high.
  6. As soon as the breasts are in the pan prepare all the other bits (drop to The test section) you have 10 minutes.
  7. After 10 minutes, turn the breasts skin side up and place under the grill for 5 minutes - keep a little eye on it.
  8. When done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing it up to burrito bite sized slices. It will be crispy on the outside and pink in the middle.
The rest
  1. So your duck should be skin side down and happy in your pan. Throw the white onions in with it, around the duck.
  2. Halve the mango, skirting the stone. Then with a tea towel in hand, hold the mango half flesh side up and with a small knife, score it in to 1cm squares down to the skin - don't go through it (hence the tea towel, just in case you do). You can then turn it inside out and slice the cubes off in to a bowl.
  3. Add the chopped chilli, pinch of salt and squeeze the lime juice over it all and mix with a spoon - set aside, it done.
  4. The cauliflower rice should have been cooked already for three minutes, keep that on standby for the final three minutes just as you put the duck out to rest.
  5. Cook your tortillas, I like a hot dry frying pan, lob em in there and let them start to puff up. Gotta do this 6 times remember, so if time is tight....use two pans at the same time.
Serving it up
  1. All your bits and pieces should be ready to go - get them on to the table and you should be ready for the final and best bit (apart from the eating obvs) - slicing the duck.
  2. Serve it up just like that and build the burrito anyway you like.
  3. Thank you China China and Mexico Mexico
