If you’re tired of plain old rissoles this recipe might work for you. Curry powder, green capsicum and garlic certainly add an extra bit of kick to the usual mince, onion and breadcrumb mix.
CURRIED RISSOLES

LITTLE MEATBALLS and BEB’S TOMATO SAUCE
There’s nothing too unusual about these Little Meatballs, it’s more their size. As the recipe says they’re quite versatile, you can put them a pasta sauce or sweet and sour sauce. You could even serve them with a dipping sauce as a nibble or pop them in the kids lunchbox. I’ve included Mum’s Tomato Sauce for Mince Balls recipe as I think it goes well with them. Enjoy………..
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.
HONEY & SESAME DRUMSTICKS
Chicken drumsticks cooked on the bbq can often take a lot longer than other meats to cook all the way through. So I usually cook them in the oven and that way I’m sure they’re fully cooked – there’s nothing worse than discovering the drumstick you’re munching into is still pink in the middle. This honey and sesame version is always enjoyed.
WHOLE FISH FILLED WITH SEAFOOD
My father loved to fish. He and an old army buddy bought a boat and would go fishing on Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay. I have a lot of memories of waiting on the sand for them to come back, clean the boat and put it on the trailer so we could finally go home. The result was a steady supply of fresh fish. I just wish my mother had had this recipe though as I always found the plain fried fish Dad loved pretty boring. This marinara filling would have made it far more interesting.
VEGEMITE SAVOURY ROLLS
“The unique taste of Vegemite and how to get more out of every jar” is the opening sentence in this recipe booklet from Kraft. The world probably agrees with ‘unique’, but it’s definitely an Australian favourite. In this recipe it’s added into a cheesy hamburger mince mix and cooked in the oven in a bread roll, worth trying?
LAMB WITH CREAMY PEA SAUCE
When I’m preparing recipes to post I usually take out any comments made by the columnists who’ve originally published them, but this time I’ve left Jane O’Connor’s in. They’re wise words and her suggestions for modernizing, in this case minted peas, but also mashed potatoes are worth reading.
CHICKEN AND POTATO HOT POT
The Herald Sun columnist who published this recipe made the comment that the quality of the chicken makes a difference in this dish – no doubt you could say that about any chicken dish. Even so using free range chicken, that has a lot more flavour, would probably be a good idea.
FISHERMAN’S CASSEROLE – Fish Pie
All the fish pies I’ve made have had an expensive mix of white fish and shellfish. I like the idea of this one as you can use a marinara mix, which makes it much easier and more importantly cheaper. I’d probably add extra vegetables, but the choice is yours.
FARMHOUSE LAMB CASSEROLE
This recipe was on a sheet Mum picked up off the butcher’s counter back in the ’80s. She gave a copy to me and I’ve made it many times over the years. It’s a good basic lamb stew, a great family meal.
