When we lived in the US back in 2001, one of my favourite Mexican dishes was fajitas. So when this beef fajitas recipe appeared in my news feed a few years ago, I bookmarked it and it is the basis for my beef fajitas. Unlike the chicken tacos meal, this dish needs a bit of planning to ensure that I have the ingredients and there is enough time for the meat to marinate.
Lemon myrtle is an Australian native tree. The dried leaves are used to create a spice that is similar to lemongrass.
Whilst browsing through a magazine, I found and copied a recipe for Lemon Myrtle and Black Sesame Chicken. Since then I've experimented with chicken, turkey, fish, and pork and really loved the pork. Chicken and turkey also work well but the flavours tend to overpower fish.
When travelling on business a late night arrival means room service or something like noodles where you just add water.
If lucky, we'll try and book an apartment with kitchen facilities but arriving late, we want something quick and light. These noodles are just the ticket, and we even do this when we want a quick meal at home.
Quick and easy to make! Warm and fulfilling on a cold night.
Hubby was away on business so I took the opportunity to cook a childhood favourite, quick congee, or as we called it, quick juk. As kids we preferred the quick juk to the ‘real’ juk, which had amongst its ingredients dried bean curd, water chestnuts and red dates. I still prefer the quick juk. It's a versatile dish—I will cook it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Hubby and I are currently on holidays and staying in a serviced apartment. Being away from home means adjusting my cooking style a little—I'm using fresher ingredients (none of these packaged herbs, spices and condiments) and fewer ingredients. These patties were simple to make and so delicious—we had two for our dinner and two were put away for another meal!
A meal that is quick and easy to prepare—perfect for those nights when Hubby and I are both working late!
Can you tell that it's unusually cold in Sydney at the moment? This is my fourth soup recipe in three months!
Many marinades seem to use soy sauce, worcestershire sauce or fish sauce—all high sources of sodium. We developed this marinade when we started to reduce our sodium intake.
Kangaroo is one of the leanest of red meats. However, it does tend to dry out when cooked. Information on cooking kangaroo and more recipes are available from the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia Web site.
One of Mother's much-loved barbecue marinades. Any leftover meat can be eaten the following day—it gives the marinade more time to soak into the meat and makes it taste even better.
