Spelling Mistakes

I always have to think about how to spell, ingredient, when that word comes up. Obviously i have spelt it wrong, last post, sorry.. Always good to have a dictionary or thesaurus by the computer, or google it..mmm

Frank's Soup

Cover soup ingrediants with some good stock. Water and a stock cube would be fine.  I would use  chicken or vegetable stock.

It's gone Spring now, but there is still some wintry weather hanging around.Soup weather. I saw this recipe on the TV program "The Circle" one day. The head chef from Movida was making this easy one pot soup. All the ingrediants were put into the pot whole. Then cooked for an hour or so and whizzed up with a blender or stick blender. Frank put in his pot ,some LENTILS, CHORIZO sausage, CAPSICUM, TOMATOES, GARLIC, PUMPKIN, andONION. I've made it, it's good, especially with the smokey paprika flavour from the chorizo. THanks Frank....

Little Mexican Pasties.

Spring onions from our garden




Well, you know when you cook up a big batch of something, and the family dont like it that much, you then have a stack of leftovers.. What to do, i just cant throw  good food out. On this occasion, too good , even for the chooks and dog
So, i gave the said leftovers a makeover and they were good. Popular, you would even say.
Leftover taco filling turned Little Mexican Pasties. Served with a good red..tomato sauce, that is

One of my favourite foods is Falafels. The other day , i had a craving for some, and as we are no-where near a falafal shop, i had to make my own. Lucky, i had some chickpeas in the cupboard ( bought from a fantastic middle-eastern supermarket  in Dandenong. ).
I THEN..
 soaked them overnight.
 blitzed them up in the processor



 added a tiny bit of  bicarb soda, tiny bit of cornflour,some parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander (ground) and salt  and pepper
 formed them into patties
 shallow-fried them in some Rice-Bran oil

AND FINALLY
 made them into wraps, with spinach, yoghurt , red onion and sweet chilli sauce
AND ATE THEM...
