My mother did not make this capsicum relish dips. I found this at my favourite grocer’s and fell in love with it right away. It’s so yummy and is by far one of the best dips I’ve ever had in a while, since Dan Reid’s guacamole dips.

I don’t snack on junk food, I snack on celery and dips if not the occasional cheese and crackers or banana. I buy the lot of celery and chop them up and keep them in a big container in my refrigerator.

Spaghetti with Chicken and Broccoli in Ajvar Sauce

I love spaghetti. I love my carbs. I just can’t do without it. It’s my source of energy.

To prepare this dish, I marinated some diced chicken overnight with sea salt, pepper, Italian herbs and garlic. I brought my spaghetti to boil in my pot (as usual with olive oil and salt) and after more than halfway through, I added the broccolini in. Then, I heat up my wok with some oil and started cooking my chicken and the half-boiled broccolini. Next, I added the spaghetti in with the ajvar sauce on the spaghetti and started mixing through. I made sure the ajvar sauce was in the spaghetti and not so much in the chicken. Finally, I garnished the spaghetti with some parsley and cracked pepper.
