What's for Dinner Tonight?

[Jamberie]

DH made Beef Risotto
The Skinnymixers mac and cheese sounds similar to the Baby & Toddler one, I'll have to try it too-thanks Kimmy

[Wonder]

Slow roasted lamb with lemon potatoes, salad and tatziki. DS has a 3pm footy game so it can cook in the oven while we are gone.

Not sure about tonight but last night made a pork casserole from a Good Taste book Nikkit was throwing out; it was a Margaret Fulton recipe and was very nice and will make again.

Judy, tell us about it please.
We had steak and kidney with reheated noodles  from frozen, Helenes Egg noodles,( good but a bit soft), silver beet from garden and a beetroot from Swap.

Judy was that with grated potato; we used to have it as children and I also loved it.

Yes, it's just potato grated on a box grater then an egg and S & P added. I find vegetable oil gives the crispiest result and I don't turn them until the bottoms are brown.  So simple but I love them.  Mum often used to make them for breakfast.

I've never had them Judy. They sound interesting. We had a casserole. Lots of left overs so we will take some with us for tomorrow night and leave the rest for DD.

Yum Judy, they look delicious. I have never had them before, the combination of ingredients appeal to me.  It was cold in Perth today, I tried a new recipe. It was cooked on the stove and made heaps!
Mexican Chicken and Quinoa. It was from Rena Patten's book Cooking with Quinoa. Lovely for a cold night !

Funnily enough we used to have this too JD but it was  called Potato Whitebait (similar).  The re pie was in one of mums old cookbooks, maybe CWA, Golden Wattle or Esk Valley. I think the recipe is actually Potato Rosti and has Jewish origins.

The original EDC had potato cakes which was supposed to be a version of this recipe but it was nowhere near the mark.  There was lots of discussion  regarding this recipe in the early days about it not being what us Aussies know and of course we all had different names for our version.  I see now in the last TM31 EDC that same recipe is called hash browns but to get the results above you really do need to grate the potato by hand and I never add all those other ingredients including a second egg.  I don't squeeze the potato out either if I'm cooking them straightaway.

When I make potato rosti CP I parcook the potatoes before grating them so just a small difference and they don't seem to be as crunch as the raw potato version.

I was ready somewhere recently that if you add a little semolina to the grated mix, it will be crisper.

I made an early start for DH's dinner - making Tenina's Chicken HotPot from her website.  It tastes so good and I did one of her suggestions of after cooking it in the TM, pouring it into a baking dish and topping with mashed potatoes and a sprinkle of grated parmesan and grilling it until the top was crispy.
Will be his dinner tonight and tomorrow, plus a couple of work meals that I'll freeze.

Not the best of photos today as it's really overcast outside, not much natural light about, but you get the drift.   Will def be making this one again. 





For myself I made Alyce Alexandra's Moroccan beef salad from Super Healthy.  The photo turned out horrible so will get one the next time I make this.
