Chinese chow mein noodles, tastes like the good old Maggi mix !
Very quick, very easy. Made for lunch a few times and fridged the leftover for a quick meal over the next couple of days. The mushrooms give it a “mincey”
Chinese lemon “chicken” sauce. Just like in the take-away container !
I swear this tastes markedly similar to the Chinese take-away one in the plastic container … Key is using onion to thicken rather than the “banned” corn flour – gives it
“Butter chicken” minus the butter and the chicken, still so very yummy !
I love the flavours of butter chicken, although honestly it may have been all the butter ! This recipe uses all the flavours of the traditional dish and replaces the cream
Festive Antipasto platter, easy plate for all those functions ! Includes a spicy carrot dip :)
This platter means you can nibble all night without breaking a sweat ! You could bother to chargrill all your vegetables, but it takes too much time for me, oven
One-pot Cacciatore with zucchini spaghetti, not a cauliflower in sight !
Amongst all the Xmas prep that is about to commence, this is a great little one pot quickie. Probably more a cross between a ratatouille and a cacciatore, doesn’t matter,
Vegetable Manchurian … Indo-Chinese heaven !
A bit of a spicy bend on the Opti Cook hash browns, uses same recipe but in balls with a spicy Indo-Chinese sauce. For all the Manchurian lovers out there,
Nachos ! The last of the flat bread recipes for a while … addictive is the word !
Not one for a mid week meal from scratch, definitely a weekend meal when you have time to go back and forth to the kitchen, to slowly cook and eat.
Creamy asparagus, mushroom & broccoli crepes … Yum yum
Made of three parts, this is one for a lazy Sunday arvo to make it in one go, but well worth the effort. Veggies inside and sauce can be pre-cooked,
Spicing it up … Imam Bayildi (stuffed eggplant)
Felt like a bit of something spicy after a few “plainer” delights the past week or so. Called the poor man’s meat, more like a filling optifaster’s heaven ! Slow
I just made bread … out of just cauliflower, super low cal & carb flat bread. Vegan + grain, gluten & nut-free !
Well, holy grail number II done ! Yes this is a slightly technical recipe, but nothing too out of reach of anyone at all. All you need is a cauliflower,
