Moroccan Casserole

Rachel Broadbent5 July 2012 20:50

Last night we had a disaster! Moroccan casserole, beef with raisins, apricots, onions and spices - should have been delicious. I suspected the recommended cooking temp and time would be too long. However, I didn't trust my instincts. Instead i followed the recipe and went out for 2 hrs! Came home to a dubious smell of an almost burnt, very dry dish. Virtually inedible . . . but ate it anyway :) The cous cous with blackcurrant side was quite nice though.

Left over shepherds pie. The highlight was a leafy green salad with roasted walnuts and blue cheese that I was inspired to make after seeing a posting from Annabel Langbein on my facebook feed :)

Meatloaf

Last night we had good ol Edmonds meatloaf - a staple in our house. I also managed to figure out how to time the oven on and off for the first time, so we could still go out and have our dinner ready. We had it with roast vege including this years first yams.

Lasagna

Recently bought a new recipe book off GrabOne called Comfort food for Sharing. I had been eyeing it up for several months as I really liked the concept - easy food to cook for those who need a helping hand (Some of the book proceeds go to Starship Children's hospital, which I also thought was cool). So thrilled to see it so cheap on grabone. This first recipe was a great success. A lasagna with a no-bake cheese sauce comprised of cottage chesse, parmesan cheese and a small quantity of milk. My picky 3 year old ate it all up with no assistance!

My husband is not at all keen on vegetarian meals, However, I have made him a deal. We eat vegetarian once a week and i will cook him roast lamb once every 2-3 months with the money we save! (We currently have roast lamb once a year on his birthday!). So last night we had roast garlic and pumpkin risotto (Annabel langbein).

Last night we had venison sausages with roast vege salad (pumpkin, kumera, carrots and potato seasoned with salt and pepper, then feta cheese added just before serving) with steamed broccoli and carrots.
