There’s a little bit of work with these, you need to the make the filling, then wrap them in the spring roll wrapper and then fry them until their lovely and crisp. Worth it though when you take the first bite……

POT ROASTED CHICKEN
I was sorting through Mum’s old recipes last weekend and found this Pot-Roasted Chicken recipe. I liked the idea of being able to put everything into a casserole, put it in the oven and forget about it for a couple of hours – so I cooked it last night. It tasted great!!! I didn’t bother to reduce the liquid so it was pretty juicy, but that meant that the leftovers have turned into a great soupy-broth for lunch today. Well worth trying…….
CHICKEN COBBLER
The cheesy scone topping on this chicken casserole makes this a hearty and inexpensive meal. It comes from a New Idea supplement entitled ‘Tasty Meals on a Budget’, published in 1974 and shows weights in metric and the old imperial measurement. Although metric conversion happened in 1966 it took sometime for home cooks to become confident of using the new system.
VEGEMITE CHICKEN BITES
Inspired by my 9 year old granddaughter, who is cooking up a storm while isolated at home, this week I looked for recipes that kids would enjoy cooking. This one needs some peeling, some grating and some rolling – all easy things to do and it includes vegemite, so I thought that might be an added bonus……
EASY POTATO AND CHICKEN PIE
This is a very easy dish, maybe even one the kids could do for the family to enjoy, while you’re all stuck at home together.
CHRISTMAS LEFTOVERS – Mushroom and Ham Toasts
This week’s recipes come from a Herald Sun cooking page with the title ‘Second time around’. After all the Christmas cooking it’s great to have leftovers, but you do start to run out of ideas on how to serve them. These toasts can be made using ham, turkey or chicken and that makes them a winner.
CREAMY CHICKEN LOAF
As more and more Australians are deciding that a hot Christmas lunch is a bit silly in our climate, this 1970s cold Chicken Loaf could be worth trying. It has the added benefit of being made the day before and you only need turn it out and slice it on Christmas Day. A great way to cut down the stress of the big day.
CHRISTMAS ROAST DUCK with BREAD SAUCE
When I was young the Christmas treat was a roast chicken this could involve killing, plucking and cleaning the bird and was a major job. There was no such thing as frozen chicken so the effort in cooking a chicken made it very special. From chicken we seemed to have moved onto turkey for Christmas, but it’s not everyone’s favourite, especially the dried out leftovers. I found this old 1968 roast duck recipe in the collection and I thought it might be of interest. It has Bread Sauce to go with it, something I’ve never tried. So maybe it’s time for a change and return to the 1960s!!!
FISH, MEAT AND VEGETABLE SKEWERS
I always run out of ideas about what to combine on skewers for the barbecue and usually end up making sate chicken ones. This recipe from McCormick uses their Spicy BBQ Seasoning to add some zing to prawns, steak, chicken and vegetables. Happy barbecuing!!!
CRUSTY CURRIED LAMB AND APRICOT CASSEROLE
With the price of lamb having risen so much recently, a recipe where you can use cheaper cuts, like the forequarter chops in this recipe, seems like a great idea. There’s quite a mix on flavours here lamb, apricot, curry, soy sauce, peanut butter and all topped with crusty breadstick pieces. Haven’t made it myself, but it would certainly make a hearty meal.
