Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos

(3 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Idea I came up with for something quick and healthy that can be mostly prepared in advance. I used a large cooked chicken breast cut-up but would also be a good use for leftover roast chicken. Makes 4 large tacos so I think would be a complete... MORE»

Red Currant Sauce

(1 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Recipe I came up with to serve with a chicken dish but I think it would be also suited to other poulty and game meats. I didn't use a great amount of sugar so the sauce retains a bit of tartness from the currants which was what I was after rather... MORE»

Smoked Oysters and Bacon

Posted by Peter J  

This is how I hot smoked some oysters and bacon in a small fish smoker. They were shucked on the half-shell when I bought them so I smoked in the lower part of the shell. The small fish smokers get quite hot and put out smoke quickly, so you'll... MORE»

Slow Roast Leg of Lamb

(5 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Variation of a recipe I found on the ABC site. They included a serving suggestion but there are plenty of great sauces on RecipeZaar so I omitted that section. Personally I served with Yoghurt and Mint Chutney but thought I'd leave this as an easy to prepare... MORE»

Thai Dried Squid (Calamari)

Posted by Peter J  

This came from the book "Thai Food" by David Thompson where he indicates if it is to be deep-fried it should be completely dry otherwise it will shrink and toughen. He also says it will keep for a few days if refrigerated. This recipe is... MORE»

Lamb's Fry and Bacon

(3 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Recipe that's a combination of some useful ideas I got from a post in the Aus/NZ forums along with a few ideas from recipes found on the web. If you don't have access to Vegemite try black sauce (thanks mummamills for that and more!). MORE»

Prosciutto Breakfast Bake

(3 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Great breakfast or brunch idea. The capsicum stays fairly crisp so if you prefer it softer pre-cook while heating the oven. While eating I thought red onion would also make a good addition so have listed that as an optional ingredient. MORE»

Creamy Chicken Pizza Topping

(5 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

A local pizza joint makes a creamy chicken pizza which is one of my favourites so I thought I'd try to recreate it. They use mushrooms whereas I've used pineapple because I always like the extra sweetness and moisture that pineapple gives to a... MORE»

Cheese and Onion Stuffed Sausages

(8 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Nice quick way to spriten up some plain beef sausages. I'd personally always go with natural cheese rather than processed for something like this but other pizza style cheeses like mozzarella would be good for a variation. MORE»

Thai Style Red Curry Beef Jerky

Posted by Peter J  

Idea I had of using a Thai style red curry to make a jerky. I'm not confident on long-term storage of this recipe so would recommend keeping refrigerated and using in a week or so. Preparation time does not include the marinating time. Leaving the... MORE»

Greatest Chips (French Fries) on Earth

(9 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

I saw this technique in the series Kitchen Chemistry by Heston Blumenthal and thought I'd share it here. Obviously the quantities don't matter just do as many as you want. You'll need a thermometer to do this recipe properly, but for the pre-cook... MORE»

Camembert Chicken Parmigiana

(2 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

I saw Chicken With Camembert which I liked the sound of, but decided to try the idea of a parmigiana stuffed with Camembert. I thought it came out really well and the Camembert did give a good flavour burst in the middle that went well with the sauce. MORE»

Hot Smoked Kangaroo

Posted by Peter J  

Something I prepared using a small spirit fish smoker with mesquite sawdust but any hot smoker should do the trick. For the pepper use your favourite mix or things like Cajun seasoning would work well, I think the texture is nicer using something... MORE»

Sultana Chicken Stuffing

(2 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

A slightly sweet, slightly savory chicken stuffing I made up to use some stuff I had around. I didn't have any eggs that I'd normally used to bind but suspected by the time it had cooked and some of the liquid and disappeared it wouldn't make much... MORE»

Kangaroo Curry

(1 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Kangaroo has a great flavour and doesn't need much cooking so I thought I'd try and come up with a quick one pot curry dish that wouldn't overpower it and was nice and creamy. It's still reasonably strong however - if you like really mild curries... MORE»

Silverbeet (Chard) Relish for Duck and Other White Meats

I was cooking duck and saw the idea of serving with rhubarb relish which sounded nice, but then realised what I thought was rhubarb in the fridge was really silverbeet / chard. I decided to go ahead with the relish anyway and adjust everything to... MORE»

Crumpets With Cheese & Bacon

(7 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Nice way to enjoy English crumpets. If you're from a country where they're not widely available do yourself a favour and make some from scratch, there are plenty of recipes on RecipeZaar for them. This recipe really works a lot better using... MORE»

Steamed Chorizo Dim Sims

Nostimini Grilled Chicken

Nice quick recipe using the Greek herb blend nostimini. Avocado oil has a great taste and high flash point making it ideal for use on a high temperature grill but you could use olive oil instead. No real need to measure the ingredients of course... MORE»

Nostimini Lamb Chops

(1 reviews) Posted by Peter J  

Nostimini is a Greek herb mix introduced to me by Kookaburra and this recipe is inspired by an idea she gave me on how to use it. She suggested overnight marination but that was just too long for me to take so I've posted as I cooked it and it was... MORE»
