Stir-Fried Rice Noodles With Black Bean Sauce

The idea of this recipe comes from Marie Claire Style Noodles by Jody Vassallo. If you like meat with your noodles you may add swordfish or chicken. Add it before the garlic, ginger and onions step. Other additions to this recipe could be a small can black beans and use garlic chives instead of chives

Red Capsicum Marmalade

I found this on a New Zealand site. Sounded interesting so I’ve posted it to share. Quantity is only a guess as I haven’t made this myself yet, but I do intend to soon. Please remember that this is a preserve. The marmalade needs to sit for at least 6 weeks before you try it.

‘Mazing Mushrooms

This has been one of my recipes for ages. I got it from a magazine, but I’ve no idea which one. It is very simple to make, and looks very impressive as part of an antipasto platter. Cooking time is refrigeration time. I prefer to use field mushrooms because they have more flavour, but it has a more dramatic visual effect if you use the buttons. They also soak up a lot of flavour from the dressing. Since the dressing is so simple, it relies on good ingredients. Please use fresh everything for optimal results.

Beetroot Dip / Beet Dip

This was given to me by an Egyptian friend who said it’s a family recipe. I like the fact it’s doesn’t contain dairy and nuts so it was perfect for Menu #24612 because we had a few guest who are lactose intolerant and have an allergic to nuts. You can chill the dip until it’s needed. It will keep for two days in the refrigerator but the flavour will enhance
