Aromatic Leg of Lamb

Mon, 02 Jul 2001 17:10:10 -0400

Thu, 12 Feb 2004 19:59:58 -0500

This is a different way of serving chicken. It goes over well at dinner parties, but is equally suited to a romantic evening. I think it originally came from a Valentines Day special. I have included the refrigeration time in the prep. Some roasted asparagus and new potatoes and you have a complete meal. -- posted by Sassy Syrah

Based on a number of other recipes I've enjoyed and a great way to enjoy salmon on a BBQ / grill. Preparation time does not include marination time.

This is a really simple dish. It makes a great entree for 6 or a main meal for 4 people. This recipe can easily be made gluten-free - just ensure your ingredients are gluten-free. Most tamari sauce is GF or I use "Fountain" brand soy sauce that is now GF. If you do not require a gluten free sauce you can use regular soy sauce -- posted by **Jubes**

Chicken Skewers With Zathar (Thyme and Sesame Marinade)

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:54:27 -0400

This recipe comes from Barbecue, delicious recipes for outdoor cooking by Louise Pickford. I'm often want to use thyme as I adore the smell. I thought this amount of thyme will make the recipe pungent but it actually taste yummy marinated with the chicken then barbecued and the flavour is strong but not overpowering. Time does not include Marinating time Update: I have had a few questions regarding the thyme leaves: use the leaves only for measurements (don't include steams) measure the leaves after it has been removed from the steams. -- posted by Chef floWer

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:17:30 -0500

Hoisin (or Hoi Sin) sauce also known is Chinese barbeque sauce, can be found pre-made in a jar at the supermarket. I prefer to use the "Fountain" brand, but there are many options these days. I've served this recipe hot as a main meal with an Asian Vegetable Stir-fry as a side dish. I've also brought them to a social function and thread them on small skewers, they were eaten cold as finger food. Ten minute marinating time is included in preparation. You can marinate this overnight or just ten minutes. -- posted by Chef floWer

Fried Chorizo With Garlic

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 11:56:52 -0500

Adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's TAPAS antipasto mezze'. Chorizo sausage - surprisingly NOT in the Zaar Kitchen Dictionary - is a sausage of Spanish origin made from ground pork, garlic and chillies, so if you cannot get chorizo sausages that gives you the general idea: just substitute with a sausage you really like. The appeal of the dish is certainly going to be largely determined by your choice of sausage; and if you like a bit of heat in your food, either choose a spicy sausage or add something like red pepper flakes in step three. 680g? Well, 500g = 1lb; 750g = 11/2lb, and exact quantities are obviously not crucial here. 5mm? 3mm =1/8 inch and 6mm = 1/4 inch. Again, the exact size of the slices is not crucial, but be ready to decrease or increase your cooking time according to the thickness of your sausage slices. You can prepare this recipe to the end of step two earlier in the day (and have the additional ingredients ready) and complete step three just prior to serving. -- posted by bluemoon downunder
