Anytime of Year Spring Clean Juice
A great detoxing drink adapted from Australian chef flip shelton’s ‘green: modern vegetarian recipes’. She warns “watch out for the beetroot moustache”!
Pork Sloppy Joes
Huey’s version of Sloppy Joes, from the Snack Attack section of his website. As always, he has his own take on a recipe and as always he adds lots of heat! Before posting this recipe, I read several hundreds of Zaar recipes for Sloppy Joes and concluded that in 99.9% of cases they are made from ground beef. But that was just my impression so I’ll happily be corrected if I’ve misunderstood the concept. 🙂 Huey’s recipe was sufficiently different from all those I read, so I decided to post it. Increase or decrease the heat to meet your taste preferences. Some conversions: 410g = 13oz; 440g = 14oz. And another conversion I had to make because Huey – in typical fashion – was vague in his specification of ingredients: I have converted his “1 good splash soy sauce” into “1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce”. From watching his TV cooking shows, I know that by a “splash” he means a fairly liberal splash! Please use your discretion and taste preferences to guide you here! 26 January 2009 UPDATE: Thank you to the two reviewers whose reviews have enabled me to make this update. First, you may like to incorporate some of justcallmetoni’s additions. I know if I were making this – minus the heat – I’d be adding onion and garlic. Secondly, appleydapply’s finding that there was too much liquid suggests that you need to be cautious of how much liquid you include. As you undoubtedly know, canned tomatoes vary enormously in how much liquid they contain. Aldi’s Italian tomatoes contain very little liquid compared with other brands. So I’d suggest pouring off all the liquid or most of it and, as she suggested, reducing or eliminated the amount of stock used. I’ve retained the original amount but stated that its addition is optional.
Lemonade Scones – Gluten Free
A great scone recipe using gluten free flour and lemonade. Use a good flour blend- the better the mix the better the scones. Also do not overmix as it will make a heavy scone (what my Dad calls a “doorstopper” ). This is an Australian recipe and uses bubbley lemonade soda/soft drink- not the traditional lemonade made on real lemons and sugar. I use “Orgran” brand flour for this recipe. After the first review on this recipe, I have made the scones again. The oven temperature is correct and the recipe worked fine. I have posted some photos now. Similar recipes on this site also use the same oven temperature. I have recently had the temperature on my oven tested and corrected. The temperature stated in this recipe is correct. You could use a lower temp and cook for longer. The quick cooking gives a firm outer layer and a beautiful soft steamy centre- perfect straight from the oven
Chicken Schnitzel – Gluten-Free
A quick and easy schnitzel to make that’s gluten-free. I use gluten-free rice crumbs (Orgran brand). Alternately you can make you own gluten-free crumbs by laying slices of GF bread on an oven tray and baking in a slow oven until golden. Then process to a fine crumb using a food processor or placing the bread in a large zip-lock bag and use your rolling-pin. You can omit the cheese if you cant have dairy or use egg replacers if you cant eat eggs. Add some extra pepper or spices of your choice if you like hot or spicey flavours. If leaving out the cheese- you might like to add salt, pepper and other seasonings of your choice- may taste a little bland otherwise
Huey’s Italian Sausage Dog
My adaptation of Huey’s Italian version of the classic “hot” dog. Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne restaurateur and chef who also features on his own extremely popular TV show. I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar.
