Grandma keeps her Wiener schnitzel recipe a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for her, it’s not that hard to figure out. Anyway, it’s a really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. My husband demands I make it more than I can stand eating it.
Just what the name implies – these are German-style potato dumplings, as found everywhere in the South of Germany, Austria and Bohemia. These are traditionally served with any roast with gravy, but most well-known as an accompaniment for a hearty Sauerbraten and red cabbage. Like polenta, second-day leftovers are a treat when sliced into slabs and fried in butter.
I got this particular recipe from an Australian cooking show called “Fresh “sponsored by the Australian Women’s Weekly. The show’s Chef Jason Roberts has put this Australian favourite winter drink into a recipe format. To my knowledge this is the first time that this temptation has been put into a recipe format.
I’m not a vegetarian, but occasionally I cook vegetarian meals for my dad (He hates them, but they’re good for his diabetes!) These are Thai style rissoles, made with black eyed beans, and they’re absolutely delicious!
Tasty rissoles for lovers of Mediterranean ingredients – capsicum, garlic, olives, basil – which I have adapted from a recipe in the November 2005 issue of the ‘Australian Good Taste’ magazine. It was accompanied by a delicious low-fat recipe for potatoes: Recipe #145705. In adapting this recipe, I have suggested making 12 rissoles rather than the 8 in the original recipe. This immediately makes serving sizes more versatile. If you are watching your calories and fat intake, have just ONE rissole and more of the salsa. Posted for the post ZWT, Healthy for the Holidays Challenge! The fat content is probably still a bit on the high side, but remember the calorie and fat content is for the rissoles and the salsa! If you are not interested in making the salsa, make 8 rissoles (instead of 12) to serve 4.
