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.

VEGETABLE PANCAKES
MUM’S PICNIC SLICE
Our family had a great picnic in the park last Sunday and my lovely 7 year old granddaughter and I made a Savoury Luncheon Slice* to share. On the same page as that recipe is this other slice of Mum’s which is also an old family favourite. The two us will have to make it for the next picnic.

CHEESE & BACON SLICE
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
- 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.
LAMB ROAST
We’re just back from a terrific holiday in Europe. We ate lots of great meals in Italy, France and England, but as always it’s good to be home – back to the land of affordable lamb and beef. This is my favourite Lamb Roast recipe, I wrote it down for Mum years ago. As you can see it’s a bit sketchy, there’s no quantities you just put as much onion and potato in the baking dish as you need.
LAMB ROAST
Fry onions in butter or margarine. Tip into the bottom of a baking pan and cover with sliced potatoes. Pour over beef stock until not quite covered. Generously rub salt and pepper into a leg of lamb. Put the lamb on a rack over the onion & potato mix and bake at 180o. Cooking time depends on the size of the leg of lamb, but it needs a bit extra time to crisp up the onion & potato.
