'Ceviche' doesn't need to be intimidating. First up, it's pronounced "chur vee chay" and it can take literally 5 minutes to throw together. Imagine it sort of like a guacamole, in that you scoop it up and eat it off a cracker or fried tortilla, except it's made out of cubed white fish with a little bit of chopped onion, coriander, chilli and lime juice. SO GOOD. And look, its origins are not Aussie, but shall we make it Aussie?Want more food tips? Check out the 5 Minute Food Fix Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Panzanella Salad - also known as 'Bruschetta Salad' or Bread Salad. This is a great way of using up leftover bread that is great for the environment but also FREAKING YUMMY because a). Bread is freakin yummy anyway - duh - and b). Bread takes on all these interesting textures and flavour characteristics based on what it's been pressing up against in that salad bowl. Usually tomatoes, onion and basil and then a wild drizzle of balsamic vinegar, but hey, listen for more.Want more food tips?

Making pasta from scratch is deeply soothing and wonderful - but sadly, us 5 Minute Food Fixers are too busy to do that. What we CAN do when trying to give ourselves some self-care, is make a Garlic Prawn Linguine!! It's really uncomplicated.

Some garlic, some oil, some salt and that's basically it.Want more food tips? Check out the 5 Minute Food Fix Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.

Simon and I share a love of food and I find it particularly enjoyable when he gets genuinely excited about a recipe, which, to be honest, is most of the time! (Except, I think, that time I talked about hot dogs.) Anyway, today I think he sensed that I was out of juice. My mojo was in a slump. And I was skeptical about this whole "Pyrmont Peppers" thing - - until he talked me around. You can hear me change my mind in real time! Anyway, all beside the point. The point is: this way to eat capsicum is a classic and it uses all the ingredients that are in season right now and it's one of Simon's favourite recipes ever.Want more food tips?
