  1. “This is my kids’ absolute fave! You can never go wrong with chicken and corn – it’s such a classic combo. It’s a nice one to keep in a freezer stash for loadshedding or a busy day. We make it at least once a week, or once every second week. It’s such a nice hearty dish.” - Saadiyah Hendricks Try it out. Difficulty level: Easy Serves: 6 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 35 minutes INGREDIENTS: 1 T Woolworths Salted Butter (20011826) 2 T Woolworths Mediterranean Extra Virgin Olive Oil (6009184388632) 1 onion, finely chopped 1 green chilli, slit 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped 500 g chicken fillet, cubed and rinsed 1 T roast chicken seasoning Salt and white pepper, to taste ¼ t oregano 250 g mushrooms, roughly chopped 250 ml Woolworths Whipping Cream (20011710) 1 x 415g tin cream-style sweetcorn 350g Woolworths Fresh Fettuccine Pasta (6005000811841) 1 cup Woolworths Mozzarella Cheese, grated (6009211674844) 1 cup Woolworths White Gouda Cheese, grated (6009223142874) ¼ cup Woolworths Pecorino Romano Cheese, grated (2064670000003) 1–2 x Woolworths Heat & Eat Mini Garlic Butter Baguettes toasted and crushed (6001009028624) COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

  2. A recipe to save, make and absolutely love! Another easy, quick to make winning recipe! I love how versatile these saucy prawns are to serve – either on a bed of pasta, salad, savoury rice, baguette, the list goes on and on really. I thoroughly enjoyed making them in my new @sagenwolf (available on @yuppiechef ) Titanium Series Non-Stick Chef’s Pan - It’s nice and wide, providing ample space so you don’t have to worry about smashing anything, it comes with a glass lid (yip, winning!) and can easily go from stovetop to oven! Here’s the recipe – I hope you try it and love it as much as I do! Saucy Prawns Recipe credit: @sadiesbubbleofyum Ingredients: For the prawns: 1 box of butterflied and deveined prawns, washed (head and shell on) 80g butter 1 tablespoon crushed garlic 1 tablespoon fish and prawn wet masala (you could use a dry spice if you prefer) I used @thehousewivespantry red fish Masala 1 teaspoon green masala or finely chopped green chillie (adjust according to preference) Salt and pepper to taste For the sauce: 100g butter 1 heaped teaspoon crushed garlic 1 tablespoon fish and prawn wet masala (you could use a dry spice if you prefer) 250ml cream 1 tablespoon mayonnaise Salt and pepper to taste 3/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs Fresh coriander, roughly chopped (to garnish) Method: In a pan on medium heat, melt the butter then add the prawns and all the spices and cook for just a few minutes (until they’ve just turned pink), stirring to ensure the prawns are well coated. In a separate saucepan, make the sauce by melting the butter then adding the remaining ingredients aside from the coriander. Stir to combine. Add the sauce to the prawns, stir to ensure the prawns are well coated, cook for a further 2-3 minutes, remove from the heat, garnish with coriander and serve. Enjoy! #prawn #prawnrecipe #recipe #madefromscratch #prawns #recipeoftheday #recipeshare #sagenwolf #yuppiechef
