Hot Dogs with pepperonata & Chipotle mayonnaise

For a quick and easy lunch whilst in the midst of roof-painting I prepared a simple yet delicious snack of hot dogs with peppers, onions and a homemade chipotle mayonnaise. 

First I softened the onions and peppers with a dash of olive oil in a small skillet.

After putting on the (red) onions and peppers I began mixing a blend of smoky Chipotle sauce and mayonnaise. 

I fried the frankfurters in the same pan that was used to sautee the vegetables to give them more flavour. 

After 3-4 minutes of frying the hot dogs were done and I assembled the finished product on a small plate.

Pan fried duck & Yaxell Knives

This dish was prepared with a favourite knife of mine- a birthday present from my oldest daughter.

The Yaxell knife I used is 69 layers of Damascus steel that works fantastically to slice through meat and vegetables and looks good doing it: 

The dish itself was pan fried duck with an orange glaze that I served with a jacket potato and salad.
