Asian Pork Patties

This recipe – by Rodney Dunn – is from the March 2001 issue of the ‘Australian Good Taste’ magazine. I have made these patties – served as a first course – with the chillis for guests who like hot and spicy food (and they’ve loved them) and for myself minus the chillis! Some useful conversions: 350g = a tad more than 11oz.; 50g = approximately 13/4oz.

Preserved Lemons

Preserved lemons are a popular ingredient for Middle Eastern recipes. I saw this recipe on SBS’s Food Safari. It appeared in the Moroccan episode and the chef’s name is Malika Ennaim. This recipe is perfect when lemons are in season Try picking unblemished fruit for best results. You could use as many lemons as you wish, however the equation will always be two teaspoons per cut lemon (as per Step 1), Step 2 will always be the same (juice of one lemon, four teaspoons of sea salt and warm water to cover lemons). Lemons will be ready in 40 days.

Savory Macadamia Nuts

This recipe is from “8 Grams or Less Low-Carb Recipes”, a cookbook I got in the cookbook swap this year. These are good as a snack or on top of salads. Posted for ZWT5!

Salt and Pepper Squid or Calamari With Cucumber Salad

This dish could also be used with calamari. I have been looking for a squid/calamari dish that does not have Szechuan pepper as I am unable to find it. This recipe comes from The Australian Womans Weekly Simply Seafood book.
