Favourtie food and recipes
« on: March 09, 2006, 09:37:32 PM »
What recipe or cooking do you hang your hat on and what's your favourite food.

My favourite food is pasta but in our family our special recipe is stuffing -

Get a bowl and fill it half full of seasoned stuffing mix you buy in a packet. Chuck in a broken up slice of bread, one egg and add water until it becomes a paste. Stuff it inside a bird (chicken or turkey) or just straight into an oven. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot or keep it in the fridge and have it cold the next day. Totally YUM!  :yep

One of my recent creations is chicken enchiladas. The sauce I invented came from trying to rectify a disaster.

Brown some diced chicken breast, add 250ml sour cream, a decent splash of old el paso medium salsa, bbq and tomato sauce, simmer for a bit and spoon into flour tortillas. roll tortillas, put in dish, sprinke cheese on top and put in an over for 15 minutes or until cheese has melted nicely. serve with rice. Try it! Its quick, easy and an absolute winner.

Yeah Bull, Rice can be pretty tricky. :D So much so we bought a rice cooker. One of the best cooking appliances ever invented.

Bump.

My homemade family pasta concoction:

Beef mince (extra lean)          $10.00 ........ 500g packet at Woolies/Coles.
Gravy mix into a jug of water   $0.50  ....... a packet costs $4 but it lasts for weeks.
2.2 litres of boiled kettle water $1.00 ........ roughly.
Onion & garlic powder             $0.60 ......... jars cost $4 but also last for weeks. You can use fresh but I'm lazy here.
Italian herb mix                      $0.30 ......... $4 jar as well that last weeks. Again could buy fresh herbs but I can't be stuffed.
Salt                                       $0.10 ......... a tablespoon.
Diced/Crushed Tomato            $2.10 ......... I use a tin (lazy again) but you can use fresh.
Tomato paste (no added salt)  $1.00 .......... One satchel. Packet costs $4. Use across multiple weeks.
Diced carrot/red capsicum/     $6.00 .......... fresh veggies. Finely diced. About this size -> |---|
round beans.
Stuffing mix balls                   $2.40 .......... Use about 80% of a packet. Seasoned stuffing mix mixed with water. Make 9 golf-sized balls. 
Pasta                                     $3.00 ......... I buy the 500g Leggos bowties because I'm still a kid when it comes to pasta.
                                           ---------
Total                                    $27.00 

I have an old stainless steel pressure cooker pot that I just use as an ordinary big pot on the stove.
Stir and brown the mince in the pot and then add the gravy liquid and the boiled water.
Chuck in the salt, onion, garlic, herbs (all to taste) plus tomatoes, tomato paste, veggies & stuffing balls.
Once it starts boiling allow it to cook for 20 minutes.
Then add the pasta, cook for at least 6 minutes, and then stir until the right texture.
Serves 9 decent sized plate meals.
Wrap and store away in the fridge and reheat each night.

Cost per meal: $3

I’m about to get take away from a local caranderia ..

My serve of pork Bicol Express is going to cost me slightly less than $1.50

Got a bottle of coke (glass bottle 1lt), was less than $1
The bottle of Tanduay Dark Rum (700ml) costs $3

Pork and a few rum and cokes for tonight

We go to a farmers market Thursday and Sunday for fresh produce .. will let you know how that goes this week ..

Last week

Iceberg lettuce I paid 30 cents a lettuce
Kent pumpkin 60c a kg
Potato is a luxury of sorts here at $4 ish a kilo
Mango is expensive at the moment $4 a kg also
Carrot about $1.50 a kg
Kangkong (a type of water spinach) 25c a bunch

Pork $8 a kg, no matter what part .. I snap up tenderloin when I can
Chicken $4-5 a kg, no matter what part
Beef $9-10 a kg, again, the part doesn’t matter .. ribeye or poo parts, all the same
Goat $15 a kg, I miss lamb and it’s close, so I got it for Christmas lunch and cooked an Aussie style roast

Seafood really cheap

I made pasta sauce yesterday

2kgs of lean mince cost me $30

Add in the Passata sauce and got 6 servings out of it

5 went into the freezer and will get used over the next few weeks

So the pasta sauces cost me just over $6 a serving

Well slightly more interesting at least than the Big Footy food discussion  which rarely rises above the level  of "Might order Hungry Jacks from Uber Eats later" and  "The new maple syrup flavoured Twisties are awesome..." - yet another reason Mrakov should never be allowed back on here... :shh

Yep Damo because it's not a proper bolognese. The mince is just part of the sauce along with all the other stuff chucked in the pot rather than the sauce itself if that makes sense. The next time I make it (probably this weekend), I'll take a pic and post it.
