I’ve actually never had the original Shake n Bake (I lived a deprived childhood), but I’m so going to make your modern version. The coconut flakes are brilliant!
I, (ahem), happen to LOVE Shake ‘n Bake, and usually will confess to buying it “because my kids love it”. Dressing it up with the coconut sounds fantastic, I will be sure to try this! Thanks Denise!
Do try out the recipe, the coconut is very subtle. Gives a nice crunch to the recipe.
It is a dark purple kale. Lightly sauteed with a little tea seed oil and garlic slivers, and sprinkled with maldon salt. Simple.
Yumm. The kale looks really dark! Soy sauce?
the pork chops look fantastic and as you said it sounds quite exotic with coconut, it’s a bit different but it’s I bet it was truly delicious
