I found this recipe the other day in Mum’s collection and thought the name was, frankly, weird – Indonesian Spaghetti. When you read the actual recipe though, I think it might taste OK, haven’t worked up the courage yet to try it though………………..
Curries have come a long way since this was published in 1997 and can require a lot more time and effort to cook, but this recipe does have a good blend of spices and is quick and easy to make.
I think filled tomatoes have gone completely out of fashion, but this recipe caught my eye as the filling of rice, bacon and cheese sounds good. Just not sure when I’d serve them though, maybe as an accompaniment to bbq steak or chops…..
I don’t think Mum ever actually cooked fish this way and I’ve never tried it either. It’s certainly an unusual way to cook fish and might be worth trying.
With a name like this it had to be a potato pie, didn’t it? My first thought was that this would make a good Sunday night family tea, but I’ve now decided that slices would be good served up with a roast or b-b-que. Either way I think it would be a winner.
I think the combination of salami, sweet corn, bacon, tomato and onion makes these little quiches very tasty. They’re great to pop into a lunch box or to take out on a picnic.
This is a nice easy recipe using any type of white fish fillets. A good summer dish or maybe if you’re watching the calories.
Mum made quiches with lots of different ingredients, but I think this crustless one with Chorizo sausages was was a bit of a departure from her usual style. I think she would have found it quite a change from the bacon or ham she usually used.
I get the impression that this recipe is one Mum wrote down while she was on the phone with a friend. It’s written on the type of notepad Mum kept by the phone and it has that abbreviated feel of being hurriedly written down.
Mum’s homemade pasties were filled with mince steak, potato, onion and sometimes carrot, so these cheese filled pasties were quite different and ‘modern’ for her.
