Baked Spicy Tuna Stuffed Portobello

I have 2 more huge portobello mushrooms left in my fridge and i didn't want those meaty mushrooms to be beggin me to cook them! i was in some kinda desperation state when i saw the two round looking yummylicious thing lookin back at me. So i thought, it sure sounds like the right time to transform them into somethin pretty lookin edible grub on my plate! i didnt wanna make the usual easy Sauteed Portobello with short pasta. I remember i came across a recipe on tuna and portobello so i thought why not give it a try.

INGREDIENTS
* tuna in brine
* sour cream
* olive oil
* thyme leaves
* salt
* lemon juice
* garlic powder
* cayenne pepper powder
* finely chopped tomatoes
* finely chopped onions
* coarse black pepper

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees C
2) Season portobello with salt and pepper and bake it in the preheated oven for bout 10mins. Grease the bakeware with a lil bit of butter and drizzle some olive oil over the mushrooms.
3) Combine the tuna, onions, black pepper, cayenne pepper powder, garlic powder and a little bit of thicken light sour cream and a squeeze of lemon juice from a wedge.
4) Spread the tuna mixture over the portobello and topped it up with finely chopped tomatoes and some coarse black pepper and bake it for another 5-10 mins.

After i took it out from the oven, i added some freshly chopped thyme and cheese powder on it. I had it with some Romaine lettuce and some cherry tomatoes. I'm gonna minus the light sour cream i added to the tuna mix the next time i try this experimental creation again. The sour cream somewhat made it too creamy.

I'm not so much of a cream kinda person so it was a lil too much for the i'm-not-into-creamy-stuff taste buds, perhaps butter might be a better substitute . It was definitely peppery n spicy enough for my liking. Bro isnt a big tuna fan, so he had a miserable 1/4 of one of the portobello.

Thyme-y Sweet Potato Wedges

Today i've this exceptional craving for some sweet potatoes. I remember i came across a lot of sweet potatoes bake recipes given /avail over the internet,so instead of tryin out any of the recipes i decided to experiment it with fresh thyme leaves. I'm currently in this phase of experimenting with fresh herbs so i thought why not make use of the packet of thyme leaves i bought previously. Wht i like bout thyme leaves is that it has it pungent minty with a hint of light-lemon aroma to it.

INGREDIENTS
* sweet potatoes
* thyme leaves
* salt
* brown sugar
* olive oil
* cayenne pepper powder
* coarse black pepper

Method:
1) Wash the sweet potatoes and cut it into wedges. I used a tablespoon to the scrap the skin instead of a peeler.
2) Combine the olive oil, cayenne pepper powder , salt, pepper, sugar and fresh thyme leaves together.
3) Pour the olive mixture to the potato wedges and coat it evenly.
4) Transfers the wedges to a bakeware and bake each side for bout 30mins in a preheated 200 degrees C oven or until tender and golden brown . The size of wedges will affect the cooking time need for the potatoes.
5) When its done, you can serve this as an appetiser or as a side dish.

I personally love the combination of spices on the potatoes! The thyme leaves give an excellent flavour and aroma to the wedges. I ate it plain like that for its already so good to eat it on its on. No dips needed.
