Chef Flower’s Turkish Cypriot Fried Meatballs – Kibrisli Kofte /

Kofte’s is a meatball which is native to Cyprus, Turkey and some middle east regions. They came in all shapes, sizes and different flavours. This recipe is my mothers recipe, she normally uses beef but since I don’t eat beef she use chicken if I’m coming over. We serve them with Recipe #36126 (We make the exact recipe) and a green salad or parsley salad. The cinnamon, mint, salt and black pepper are not the exact measurements as mum uses her hand to measure anything, feel free to add more but only to your taste.

Braised Lamb Shanks

Now there are just 2 of us, I’m going to cook shanks occasionally. They are way too expensive for a crowd. I found this on an Australian ABC site.

Rosemary-Mustard Roast Leg of Lamb

Before coming to Zaar I seldom cooked lamb. Now I fix it often. This recipe was in one of those supermarket booklets. I made a couple of changes and we loved the results. The cooking time includes the time needed to allow the roast to marinade in the refrigerator.

Chef Flower’s Cheat Chicken Parmigiana

This dish is quick and easy, it looks like a lot of work to the person who is eating it but it’s not. I made it for a very picker eater and she enjoyed it as well. Hubby (DH) also really enjoys this one. The Chicken schnitzels breast should be pre coated with spices and bread crumbs but still raw. I normally buy the chicken schnitzels pre-made from our butcher. The pasta sauce I use is called Barilla Olive (my favourite), which has chunky bits of olives in it so it adds to the texture. I don’t use the complete 400 grams of the pasta sauce. Cheese – you can use your favourite cheese, I sometimes use a little bit of Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese & Cheddar cheese (Also known as Tasty Cheese in Australia) but most times I normally use whatever cheese I have at home. As long as it can melt – Enjoy
