Adapted from a recipe in ‘The Australian Women’s Weekly’s TAPAS antipasto mezze’. Chorizo sausage – surprisingly NOT in the Zaar Kitchen Dictionary – is a sausage of Spanish origin made from ground pork, garlic and chillies, so if you cannot get chorizo sausages that gives you the general idea: just substitute with a sausage you really like. The appeal of the dish is certainly going to be largely determined by your choice of sausage; and if you like a bit of heat in your food, either choose a spicy sausage or add something like red pepper flakes in step three. 680g? Well, 500g = 1lb; 750g = 11/2lb, and exact quantities are obviously not crucial here. 5mm? 3mm =1/8 inch and 6mm = 1/4 inch. Again, the exact size of the slices is not crucial, but be ready to decrease or increase your cooking time according to the thickness of your sausage slices. You can prepare this recipe to the end of step two earlier in the day (and have the additional ingredients ready) and complete step three just prior to serving.
Make and share this Potato Wedges With Lemon Chilli Sour Cream recipe from Food.com.
A delicious low-fat smoothie, sweetened naturally with honey, with extra nutrition from wheat germ and sunflower seeds, and extra flavour from cinnamon. A great morning-pick-me-up! I often take some to work in a Tupperware container with a firm lid, and enjoy it as a mid-morning snack.
A delicious low fat potato dish which I found in the November 2005 issue of the ‘Australian Good Taste’ magazine, as an accompaniment to Recipe #145704. I have posted both recipes for the post-ZWT Healthy for the Holidays Challenge.
I saw this technique in the series Kitchen Chemistry by Heston Blumenthal and thought I’d share it here. Obviously the quantities don’t matter just do as many as you want. You’ll need a thermometer to do this recipe properly, but for the pre-cook you can just use a meat thermometer and could probably get away with guessing the warm versus hot oil temperature. I personally used bran oil but I think peanut oil would be another good choice but nothing wrong with just using regular vegetable oil either. I used a wok, Chinese scoop and infrared thermometer for the deep frying which is a neat way to deep fry using the more expensive oils because you need less oil in total and don’t feel so bad using fresh oil every time. Anyway back to the recipe, the title came from the series and after trying them I think I’d have to agree with Heston. Not as much effort as it sounds and really worthwhile.
