Adapted from a recipe, from ‘Australian Men’s Health’ magazine that I found online in October 2008. Add your choice of herbs. Lately I’ve been using grindings of a fabulous rosemary and sage blend in a grinder.
I bought some marinated feta at Eumundie Markets recently, and was VERY impressed, so I did what all cooks do, I copied it 🙂 This is the basic recipe, you can add Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, or even chopped olives. you can use any pesto for this, I have tried it with sundried tomato pesto, and it was good, but I prefer the fresh taste of the basil pesto:) this will keep well in the fridge, and the flavours meld better if made the day before its needed. I have made this with soft greek feta, but I have to say I prefer the aussie feta, as it holds its’ shape so much better. If there are any leftovers, you can use it as a base for Greek pizza…yummy
This is a super quick recipe that uses fresh French green beans but would work equally well with frozen. The recipe was printed in Betty Crocker Thansgiving booklet, November 2005. The recipe calls for butter. Please do not sub margarine! The original recipe called for dried marjoram leaves. Not having those I used Penzeys Bouquet Garni with rewarding results.
When we often stay away at big hotels we request the breakfast buffet in the morning. Although I don’t eat bacon or eggs and I’m not into sweet pastries. So I really look forward to morning veggies such as sautéed mushroom, grilled tomatoes, home made style baked beans on toast and hash browns. This sautéed mushroom is not like the ones served at the hotels but it satisfy my cravings.
From Kraft Foods. I used to buy these from the bakery but now I don’t have to, they’re so easy to make. Posted for ZWT III.
