You only need three strings to play a guitar and happens it’s similar with cooking so here’s to the power of three ingredient recipes.
I’ve been down this route before from making pasta (water, flour and egg) to baking an American apple pie (probably more than three).
And my take-away is that it’s always better if you have someone there helping you through it all.
Like Cath Kidston who has sent us these dishes with a trio of ingredients.
And naturally we’ve picked out three and put our sprinkle of background to each.
Mac my day
Mac and cheese: An easy Italian dish much loved by Britons and Americans.
But we weren’t expecting to get it with every dish out in Barbados and Tobago. But we did, irie!
Follow Cath’s instructions to make a dish for four with these ingredients:
One and a quarter litre milk
455g dry macaroni
200g shredded cheddar cheese
Say Cheese
Cheesy Hot Dog Puffs: And few things scream the Oo Es of Eh more than hot dogs and here’s a variation on the theme.
Cath tells us we need:
One sheet of puff pastry
Six hot dogs
§Six slices of cheddar cheese
And, of course, her instructions.
And talking about variations on a theme, here’s one recommended by Barack Obama, no less, from Washington DC… the half-smoked. Enjoy.
Fill me up peanut butter cup
Peanut butter cups: And is there a sweetie more American than peanut butter cups?
You’d have to go to Hershey’s in Pennsylvania for the Reese’s original.
Unless, of course, you follow Cath’s recipe with these, yes, you’ve got it three ingredients.
Three tbsp powdered sugar (sifted first)
120g creamy peanut butter
170g melted chocolate
So fill me up peanut butter cup.
Because these are the power of three ingredient recipes.
