Idea I came up with for something quick and healthy that can be mostly prepared in advance. I used a large cooked chicken breast cut-up but would also be a good use for leftover roast chicken. Makes 4 large tacos so I think would be a complete meal for two or a light snack / lunch for four, if using the smaller shells you’ll probably be able to fill six of them. I listed a gherkin because that’s what I used but you could also use a small handful of diced cucumber. Because it’s served slightly chilled I think this would make a nice and quick summer meal at the end of a hot day. You could also use a low-fat Greek yoghurt and/or omit the feta. There is not a lot of sweetness in the recipe so I couldn’t really say it was a kid pleaser, more of a slightly sharp taste from the salty and sour ingredients.
Risotto Cakes made in a mini-muffin pan. A great way to use leftover risotto to make lunchbox snacks. This is one of those basic recipe ideas that you can easily adapt to use up whatever odds and ends of ingredients you have on hand. And it’s a recipe that can easily be doubled. I’ve not frozen these, but I’ve always found rice dishes freeze well, so I’m sure you’ll find you can also freeze them.
Another simple but scrumptious recipe from the October 2005 issue of the ‘Australian Good Taste’ magazine article featuring recipes using ouzo. This is a prepare ahead recipe: 5 minutes preparation, no cooking, then 2 hours chilling. The chilling time is not included in the preparation and cooking times below. The other two recipes using ouzo that I’ve posted from this article – for the 2005 Zaar World Tour – are Recipe #139433 and Recipe #139444.
