CHICKEN MARSALA

These no real need to put the ingredients in an Oven Bag to cook this dish, you can easily put it all in a casserole dish.  Although an Oven Bag does save on the washing up…………

SWAGMAN’S ROLL

Did swagmen really make this out in the bush?  I have no idea, but even if they didn’t it still  makes a great hearty meal for the family. If you want you can easily add potato or other vegetables and I’d recommend leaving the meat mixture to cool a little before you put it on the puff pastry as hot meat will make the pastry soft and harder to handle.

PORK CHOP CASSEROLE

Back in the 60s, which is around the time this recipe was published, the choice of pork cuts was a lot more limited than it is now.  You could buy roast pork and pork chops and not much else.  So although this recipe calls for shoulder pork shops you could really use any pork cut you wanted.  As it’s pre-metrics you need to convert the 10oz can of soup to 300ml and bake the casserole at 180o.

MEATLOAF IN A BASIN

Most meatloaves I know of are baked in a tin or hand molded into a loaf shape.  This is the first time I’ve seen a recipe that steams the loaf in a basin, but trust Mum to have cut out and kept something different.  The combination of potato, carrot and onions together with sausage meat and some spices in this recipe should make for a tasty loaf.

SALMON WELLINGTON

I love Beef Wellington, but it’s a tricky thing to make so I usually leave it to the experts.  This Salmon Wellington looks a lot easier and although the recipe uses tinned Red Salmon I don’t see why a nice piece of fresh salmon couldn’t be substituted.
