Mock Beef Rissoles

This World War II recipe was first published by Marmite and is a tasty Vegetarian alternative to regular Rissoles. I’ve rewritten the directions to be a little more precise and suit modern methods to a greater extent. Marmite is a British ‘spread’ and you can obtain it at an international grocery store in the United States. As a WWII ad for Marmite says “stock your larder with a few jars of Marmite now!”. Enjoy 🙂 Please Note: Preparation time includes Rice Cooking time!

Peppered Camembert Damper Bread Rolls

Served warm with soup these rolls will become a regular! Wrap dampers in a clean tea towel to keep them warm for up to 30 minutes. You could replace the pepper with sea salt and rosemary, and the camembert with grated tasty cheese.

Elswet’s Damper Biscuits

Living in a small town on another continent, there are a few dishes I miss. True Japanese cuisine which orignates from somewhere other than a SteakHouse, AUTHENTIC Chinese food, and good old English Damper are but a few. My Lady, being the Goddess She is, worked and worked until She got it right for me. These are biscuits, which taste like the beloved damper of my youth. If you aren’t familiar with damper, it’s a quickbread wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed onto the coals of the fire, usually in the fireplace. The original damper is very easy to make, but to make them as biscuits, took some work and lots of adjustments. I hope you enjoy these very soft, bread-like biscuits. They are NOT “Southern” biscuits, by any means.
