Spicy fish on toast
This is a pretty good little entrée. It is actually a really good little entrée. It’s kinda flash but also very easy to make so I guess it fits your MO perfectly. You could certainly put this fish on mini toasts for a lovely canape too. SPICY FISH ON TOAST (for 4 as an entrée)…

Horseradish mayonnaise and king prawns
This is a simple little recipe for a simple little world. Bah. I wish. For the simple little world, that is. I can guarantee this will be the simplest dinner you’ve made since sand pit mud pie. I would say this recipe is so simple that it will need to be relegated to the league…

(Mostly) grilled pork belly with orange & herbs
If you are into pointing fingers and letting people know how righteous your opinion is, you might call this out as a little bit of a cheaty type method of grilling.
