Wato’s Chilli Sauce

A recipe that was acquire from a mad military musican who is often seen picking olives from the wild olive trees in the foot hills of Adelaide. He advised that this chilli sauce improves in flavour and strength with age and that it’s for internal use only. However, if pain persists see your doctor. Note: This recipe yields 1.5 litres of sauce. I could only put 1 litre in the “Yield” field.

Eggplant (Aubergine) Dip

This is a spicy dip that could be served with Flat Bread, Nan bread or Turkish Bread. The recipe was found in a book called ‘Creative food – Finger Food’ by The Australian Woman’s Weekly.

Rimfire Cheese Balls

These yummy creations were on an antipasto platter at the Rimfire Winery at Maclagan (near Toowoomba, Queensland). I just HAD to ask the chef for the recipe! They’ve become a family favourite.

Armenian Steak Tartare (Chee Kufta)

This is a mouth watering awesome Armenian style steak tartare called Chee kufta by my Aunt Sophie. She made this for me special when I was visiting her, which was very often! It’s important to use very, very lean beef and make sure you have the butcher ground it very fine, twice. Knead it as recipe says to: 5 minutes! No, you won’t get sick if you prepare it correctly!

Chaimen- an Armenian Spice Rub! (Use for Basterma)

Well, without Chaimen, there would be no Basterma! I LOVE Basterma…It is so delicious. A real delicacy. Sliced very, very thin and eaten with The wonderful Armenian bread-Lavash. Can you tell I like Armenian food?? I can’t help it-It’s in my blood. Thanks to my Aunt Sophie!
