Stuffed Chicken Breasts
2008-04-29 09:49:00
I made a zaar members recipe for our meal last night as we are getting close to the end of the month, thought I would get in another recipe before May. This was excellent I changed it slightly by adding some cornflour to the sauce to thicken it slightly, as I found it a little thin. I also wrapped pancetta around the breasts so the filling did not come out. I made the same amount of stuffing for 4 breasts and I was only making for 2, so my breasts were very overstuffed, so it was my fault. The chef who's recipe I copied this from served his with smashed potatoes I served mine with kumara and zucchini fritters. If you would like to see original with smashed potato recipe included or more recipes by this chef please click here.If you have seen my recent post on my cheese and cutting boards you will know I am about to go live with my official website shortly.

Pork and Prawn Stir-Fry
2008-04-27 13:15:00
This recipe should actually have noodles in it, but my hubby and I are both watching our carb intake at the moment, so I omitted them and added some more meat and bean sprouts. I suppose this is more of a Pad Thai dish, if you decide to add noodles, I would cut the meat back to about 200g, only about 150g on the bean sprouts and about 200g on the prawns, as what I have listed below would be just too much if adding noodles.If you have seen my recent post on my cheese and cutting boards you will know I am about to go live with my official website shortly.

Chopping and Cheese Boards
2008-04-26 10:54:00
I am very excited about these boards I am introducing, my mother and I have been using these for years but I am just now starting this as a business and my official website should be finished in about a week to 10 days. Being Australian makes me proud to introduce something, handcrafted in Australia, by a solely run family business. Where they have prided themselves of not only being Eco friendly, but concentrating there time on producing some of the most beautifully handcrafted chopping and cheese boards you will ever see, with every attention payed to detail and qualityAs a chef and someone who has catered, hygiene in the kitchen is of up most importance to me as well as having a quality product that is durable. I am using all my kitchen products often and have tested quite a few different chopping boards over the years and have found most wear out quite quickly. Plastic is not only a non-renewable resource but marks easily and if like me you use a lot of fresh produce like herbs ...

Crab Stuffed Crumbed Chicken
2008-04-22 08:34:00
I have not tried a recipezaar members recipe in awhile so I thought I would make one last night. This was excellent, like the chef who made it, I used fresh crab meat in mine so I can not comment on how it would taste with canned or imitation. I also made a hollandaise sauce to go with but it was so not needed, I thought it might be a little dry, hence the sauce, but the chicken was moist and tender and it was a great crunchy coating. I did use panko flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs) instead of regular I just prefer them they always come out nice and crisp.

Chicken Tomato and Feta Patties on a Spinach Salad
2008-04-20 10:12:00
This is really quick to make, tastes great and if like me you are only making these for yourself and hubby, they make great leftovers for the next day, as my son and I found out. You will see from the photo I shaped into quite large patties, I don't usually do this I just wanted this for photo purposes. I make three patties per person and as you can see, if you made them this size, it would just be too much. Also it makes for a shorter cooking time if shaped smaller.If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page.

Veal and Asparagus with Basil Mayo
2008-04-14 17:54:00
This meal is quick to make and very light and healthy, makes for a great summertime dinner that you can have on the table in 30 Min's, so a great after work recipe. I used veal scallops and did 4 per person, about 200g in weight for each person. I know this cut can be quite expensive so feel free to make this with veal cutlets of similar weight, taste just as good but kinder on the wallet. I used the scallops, as hubby had just come home from a business trip and wanted a light meal as he is never to hungry after a long flight, but I also wanted something a little more special hence the cut.If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page.

Chilli Seafood Stir-Fry
2008-04-10 20:00:00
I came up with this the other night and really enjoyed it. My hubby is out of town on business at the moment and he is not the biggest fan of scallops. Whereas I love them so I try to make things he doesn't like as much as me, so I can enjoy it guilt free, knowing he is not loving it as much as me.This is a great quick recipe to make and it tastes awesome or at least I think so. Feel free to change and add whatever seafood you love in this recipe. I made this just for me, I had 5 prawns and 4 scallops so I took the weight of each and multiplied it by 4 and rounded either up or down so it should be quite close on weight. I think the rest should work out fine for 4 people.If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page.

This should really be made as 2 meals either the risotto cakes as a starter or a lunch topped with some smoked chicken.

This chicken is so full of flavour it is great as is, I served mine with a subtle lemon, mustard sauce which was lovely.

This is a very quick and easy recipe to throw together, it tastes great and makes for a wonderful after work dinner or great mid week meal when you want no fuss. You can make your own gnocchi if you prefer, but for quickness of this recipe I used fresh store bought gnocchi, you can find this in the fresh pasta section of most supermarkets. For those of you who have never eaten gnocchi before or do not know what it is, a quick explanation is basically Italian dumplings, made from either potato, semolina or flour.If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page.

This is a really quick easy recipe to throw together that is full of flavour. Be careful with the oyster sauce though I have listed amounts, but if you buy quite a strong brand I would recommend using less, it is a bit like soy sauce with the saltiness of it.

Moroccan Lamb Shanks
2008-04-03 18:50:00
This is a great dish, tastes wonderful and the thing I love about cooking shanks is that although the cooking time is long once you have it all in the pot that is it, just come and stir it a couple of times. I actually went and enjoyed a drink with my hubby that evening at our local restaurant and I didn't have to worry about the food. When we got home it was nice to know I did not have much to do add the kumara and make some couscous. I make lamb shanks all the time I really enjoy them, I would probably make them more if they were readily available. This is just another take on a more traditional lamb shank recipe. I use 4 nice size lamb shanks in this recipe or if you can only get french trimmed use 8, 2 per person as they are smaller.Ingredients4 Lamb shanks or 8 French trimmedolive oil2 Medium brown onions, chopped coarsely3 Cloves garlic, crushed2 Teaspoons ground cinnamon3 Teaspoons ground cumin3 Teaspoons ground coriander1 Cup dry red wine4 Cups (1litre) Chicken Stock3 Table...
