A simple fry-pan cooked mushroom -lowfat version for my New Years Resolution to lose some weight. Great served on toast with egg, serve on top of steak or chicken. For a gluten-free or lactose free then check your stock powder is suitable (I use Massel brand-GF, vegan, lactose free and all natural). For a creamier sauce use low-fat cream or evaporated milk in place of the water. I’ve noticed that the nutrition panel seems to be picking up on the extra olive oil-it’s optional and only needed if your mushrooms require. Instead of the extra oil you could use a little water.
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.
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.
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.
