FISH CURRY

A curry to my Mum was always made using curry powder bought from the supermarket. There were no jars of curry mix in all the levels of heat that you can buy now and no one made it from scratch using individual spices.  You either put in one tablespoon of curry powder or more depending on the heat you wanted. So this recipe is in no way a modern curry, but Mum and Dad didn’t like their curry hot and they did like smoked cod so this worked for them.  When I make it I always put in some peeled potatoes that soak up the sauce and taste great.

FISH CURRY

  • 375g filleted or smoked cod
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • ½ clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ½ tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 dessertspoon tomato puree
  • 150ml cold water
  • Potatoes, peeled and quartered

Wash fish cut into bite size pieces.  Saute onion and garlic in oil for 10 mins and stir in the curry powder.  Stir well and cook for a few mins.  Add water gradually stirring all the time and bring to the boil. Stir in the tomato puree.  Put in fish and potatoes, cook very gently, low heat 30mins.

MALLEE QUICHE

This recipe gets it’s name from the Mallee District an area in north west Victoria, but over the years I’ve seen it with lots of other names including Impossible Pie and Zuccchini slice.  I suppose it’s an Australian version of a frittata, the Italian crustless quiche to which a variety of meat and vegetables are added.  It’s a nice easy meal and if you make this version you’ll feel very Australian.

I like the little note that Mum’s written on the top of this cutting – Like a Quiche – which suggests she either made it herself or it was made by someone else and she liked it.  It does seem to have a strange combination of ingredients, especially the cabbage, but it could be worth a try.

Mum wrote this recipe out pretty roughly on a piece of paper from an exercise book.  She used to make it fairly often either to take on picnics or for casual Sunday night teas.  I can even visualize the baking tray she made it in – the family loved it.

Cheese & Bacon Slice

CHEESE & BACON SLICE

  • White Wings flaky pastry (or any bought puff pastry) or home made pastry
  • 1 medium sized apple, grated
  • 1 medium potato, grated
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • Green pepper, finely chopped
  • 30g butter, softened
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 2 rashes of bacon
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup milk

Line a lamington style baking tray, approx 30cm x 20.5cm x 3cm with the pastry. Combine the apple, potato, onion and green pepper in a bowl.  Add the butter, cheese, bacon, eggs and milk and mix together.  Bake for 3/4 of an hour at 200oC.
