I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don’t make this if you can’t get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It’s not worth doing. And don’t use your tomatoes from the fridge.
I bought some marinated feta at Eumundie Markets recently, and was VERY impressed, so I did what all cooks do, I copied it 🙂 This is the basic recipe, you can add Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, or even chopped olives. you can use any pesto for this, I have tried it with sundried tomato pesto, and it was good, but I prefer the fresh taste of the basil pesto:) this will keep well in the fridge, and the flavours meld better if made the day before its needed. I have made this with soft greek feta, but I have to say I prefer the aussie feta, as it holds its’ shape so much better. If there are any leftovers, you can use it as a base for Greek pizza…yummy
A friend gave me this remedy when I had the flu & demanded I go home & drink it! I took two panadols before & I swear I felt so much better afterwards. And it tastes yummy too!
Yes as a beer advertisement says we do eat our national emblem in Australia. Cook over a BBQ with beer in hand while the kids are inside watching repeats of ‘Skippy The Bush Kangaroo’ on TV. I think it would also work with other low-fat game meats that don’t have a really strong flavour.
This is a nice fudgie cake for dessert. The cake can stand while you are whipping up a quick main course eg a grill and salad.
