While your Casa di Mama pizza is baking in the oven, and the delicious fresh dough is rising to perfection, rustle up these nutritious accompaniments, perfect for the whole family to share.
This is a new version of potato wedges that our kids love! This recipe includes a mixture of white potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are a great source of vitamin and minerals. Sweet potatoes will cook slightly quicker than white potatoes so cut your sweet potato wedges a bit bigger to ensure they’re all ready at the same time.
Ingredients
Serves four people
Top Tip - Experiment with different herbs and spices to coat the wedges. We love cinnamon on ours as well!
Method
Cut the potatoes into wedge shapes leaving the skin on. Drizzle with olive oil and mix in a bowl with the paprika, chilli powder, salt and pepper so that all the wedges are evenly covered. Spread on a baking tray and bake in a 190°C/375°F/Gas 5 oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. You may wish to turn them half way.
For the Salsa
Serves four people
Method
Combine all the ingredients together drizzling with oil to your desire. Serve the wedges with sour cream and the salsa.
Top Tip - This salsa is also delicious served with hot tortilla chips as a starter before your pizza
Two delicious accompaniments to feed your family! The fruity coleslaw is a great way to sneak some extra fruit and veg into your children’s diets. All kids love sweet food and the apple and grapes give this a subtle sweet flavour that tastes fresh and light. The bright colours of the salad will really appeal to them too.
Ingredients for Fruity Coleslaw
Serves four people
Ingredients for Salad
Method
Combine all the ingredients for the coleslaw in a large mixing bowl and serve. Wash and toss together the salad ingredients, ensure pieces are big enough to allow children to eat with fingers if they choose. Serve the salad with a classic vinaigrette dressing to create a more adult version of this delicious fresh salad.
Top Tip - Try using red cabbage instead of green cabbage to incorporate more variety into your children's diet.
It's stronger in taste than green cabbage so you may prefer to shred it more finely
This is a substantial side dish which goes perfectly with the Diavola Casa di Mama pizza. It is just as tasty cold the day after, so it could be prepared the day before if you have more time.
Top Tip - Add some chopped green pepper or avocado to the pasta and serve it on mini gem lettuce leaves to get some more greens into the meal
Ingredients
Serves four people
Method
Cook the pasta and drain. Cut the potatoes into quarters and boil or steam until cooked. Fry the lardons in their own fat (you may need to add a splash of olive oil). When they start to brown, add the spinach and cook for a further couple of minutes until limp. Finely chop the parsley and add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix well and season to taste. Can be served hot or cold.
