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.
Another trip, another city. This time we visited Brisbane, staying in an apartment in the CBD. This post describes our grocery list for the week, the meals we prepared and some of the restaurants and cafés we visited.
I love working with turkey mince—the meat is so light and is complemented by many different seasonings. We serve the turkey patties accompanied with salad and chips, or use them in turkey burgers. This post describes three types of seasonings that I characterise as French-, Italian- and Thai-style seasonings. The ‘French’-style patties are similar to the turkey patties I made in Melbourne.
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!
