Pea Salad, Very Pretty!!
A very quick salad, made with things I had on hand (and needed to use up). Prep and cook time doesn’t take into account cooking bacon, because you might want to use bacon bits.
Caramelised Onion & Goats Cheese Omelette
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.
Baked Italian Sausage With Potatoes and Rosemary
A hearty, flavoursome really quick to prepare and assemble one dish meal. Bill Granger’s recipe from the Lifestyle Food Channel.
Basil & Tomato Salad
I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don’t make this if you can’t get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It’s not worth doing. And don’t use your tomatoes from the fridge.
Green Feta Dip
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
