Huey’s Green Bean, Potato and Bacon Salad

My adaptation of another of Huey’s fabulous recipes. His salads he always categorises as sexy salads. He recommends this dish as an entrée or light lunch for four. It could, of course, also be served as a side dish. Serve it warm or at room temperature, whichever you prefer. 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.

Sour Cream and Chive Potato Pancakes

Yummy pancakes which can be served for breakfast, brunch, as a snack or as a side-dish. Although the recipe specifies sebago potatoes, you can also use russet burbank or spunta potatoes. All of these are potatoes that are varieties which are good for baking. This recipe has been adapted from a recipe in the Australian Women’s Weekly’s ‘Potatoes: over 100 exciting ways to cook the humble spud’, recently reprinted by popular demand. It is essential to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the potatoes in step one before adding the potatoes to the other ingredients. Please feel free to vary the herbs according to your taste preferences.

Sara’s Shepherds Pie

I love making this. It’s such a nice winter meal, and it’s so easy and quick, and best of all..so economical!! Growing up, Mum made shepherds pie almost weekly. Over the years I have altered it, and this is the way my family enjoys it now. We don’t serve this with anything, except maybe a nice bread roll.

Sausage in Potato Gravy

This is a long time family favorite in my house and is one of our ‘comfort’ foods given to us by a true Cajun. I make this with fresh [raw] sausage from Burton Sausage Co in Burton, TX., you can only get it at the OLD butcher shop on Navasota Rd. Any raw sausage you like would be great in this but it needs to be raw meat for the best results. Always a ‘go to ‘ when pressed for time or don’t feel like cooking! I have never really measured the items in this recipe- When asked how much? I always say ‘enough’. After many requests I decided to try to get it down on paper! So here goes!
