The beauty of all the different varieties of lasagne is that they can be prepared in advance and cooked when needed. This is the first time though I’ve seen a salmon version. I have a recipe for another seafood one which I make using marinara mix I buy from the supermarket and that tastes pretty good, so this one could be worth trying.
With Christmas on the horizon I’m starting to look for recipes that will work on the big day. I think this salmon loaf would make a great starter. You could make it the day before and serve it cold with the yoghurt sauce and a light salad.
This really is an oldie, but a it’s a goody. Simple to make and one the kids like.
To be honest I can’t really see anything Polynesian in this recipe, but I think the marinade does sound tasty. You get much the same result if you use a casserole dish instead of the oven bag, but the good thing is you don’t have to wash it afterwards.
As this says it’s not a traditional moussaka. Traditional Greek moussaka is made with eggplant and this recipe uses potato in it’s place. I think that using both eggplant and potato would work really well too, but making a traditional mince and tomato base sauce would probably be a lot better than a can of braised steak and onions.
With Mum’s 100th birthday only a couple of months away I’ve started to look for party recipes. I found these microwave recipes which were published by The Sun in March 1986 around the time everyone was buying a microwave, but still not quite sure what to do with it. I’m not sure I’d use my microwave to cook them today though, as I think we’ve now figured out what works and what doesn’t in it.
I usually make Chocolate Mousse in one large bowl and then serve it up with berries, but this recipe makes 10 individual desserts. Great for a large dinner party, especially as it can be made the day before.
In this recipe cooked pasta with a cheese and mustard sauce is pressed into a pie dish and baked to form a crust. The filling of chicken, leek, carrot and zucchini is added and then topped with more of the pasta mix. A quite different sort of chicken and vegetable pie.
I think you’re supposed to make these for kids parties, but with a bit of luck there’s some left over for the adults. They’re best using cocktail frankfurts, but you can use chipolata sausages if you prefer.
Lamb is such a versatile meat. You can roast it, casserole it, grill and bbq it, whatever you have the time or the taste for. The page of lamb recipes that Mum kept from July 1997 showcases this versatility. This recipe give a basic lamb chop a real lift and makes a change from just eating it with tomato sauce.
