Leek, Mushroom & Thyme Mashed Potatoes
A delicious way to enjoy mashed potatoes. Easy enough for weekday meals; elegant and tasty enough to serve to dinner guests. Adapted from the Australian Women’s Weekly Casserole cookbook.
Chocolate Bullets
This recipe for an oh-so-decadently-delicious Irish-Greek-chocolate-and-cream drink was part of an article on ouzo in the October 2005 issue of cooking magazine ‘Australian Good Taste’. The article was called ‘Greece Lightning’ and begins: “A potent Greek spirit that has the ability to turn cloudy, ouzo can have the same effect on you – so take care not to overindulge in our delicious drinks, dessert or dressing.” A cocktail? Well the ingredients suggest that but the photograph showed Chocolate Bullets served in two tall smoothie-style glasses. This is clearly not a drink for the faint-hearted! I’ve listed this as serving 2, but I think it could also be served in 4 cocktail glasses. The original recipe specified “chocolate topping” as the fourth ingredient; ever with a mind of its own, Zaar converted this to “chocolate fudge topping”, which would I imagine be sweeter. BTW, if you’re using metric measurements, 1 cup = 250 ml. From the same magazine, I have also posted Recipe #139444 and Recipe #139460.
Rosemary & Pine Nut Mashed Potatoes
A simple variation which makes all the difference in flavour to basic mashed potatoes. Adapted from the Australian Women’s Weekly Casseroles cookbook.
Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Sausage Rolls
This is one of several recipes in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine ‘Delicious’ in an article featuring food that children will find delicious and which is therefore ideal for serving at children’s parties. I have also posted Recipe #139946. And if you’re looking for other tasty variations on sausage rolls, many of which will also appeal to children, you may like to try my Recipe #169225, Recipe #333506, Recipe #342256 or Recipe #159722.
Sesame Lamb Chops
I find the sesame crumbs work well on chicken or pork strips too, and serve any of these with a plum sauce. Prep time includes refrigeration of the chops.
