    Re: Recipes Thread - by popular demand!

    A little something I created last night....

    I call it ... the chickeny mushroomy dish....

    in a little bit of oil or butter cook up some sliced brown mushrooms, add some thinly sliced chicken, add a little bit of garlic... go for a rummage through the cupboard and dig out any kind of marinade sauce you might have lying around and pour in about 2 tablespoons of that... add about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and a tablespoon of honey... boil some rice..

    really nice!

    2 Tablespoons Artificial Sweetener (sugar if you prefer)
    Salt & Pepper to taste
    2 tsp Cayene Pepper

    Boil the pumpkin & lentils until soft
    Liquidise both with corriander
    Bring the vegetable stock to the boil, add the pupkin & lentil
    Stir in Sweetener, Cayene & Salt & Pepper, stir till thickened

    Servings: 4



    Healthy Spaghetti in Blue Cheese & Spinach Sauce

    Spaghetti
    1 bag of fresh spinach, de-stalked
    75g soft blue cheese, crumbled

    Boil the spaghetti
    Wilt the spinach in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain

    Re: Recipes Thread - by popular demand!

    I was taught the recipe to make pancakes when I was about 10 and I still remember it & cook them (just did a double batch that got devoured as soon as they were out the pan!)

    "4-3-2-1-0"

    4 SR Flour (Tbls Sp)
    3 Sugar (Tbls Sp)
    2 eggs
    1 lvl teaspoon bicarb
    pinch of salt.

    Mix with milk untill it is the right consistancy and has no lumps in. (should be somewhere between 'gloopy' and 'runny' - the more runny, the thinner the pancake: good for creppes)

    Heat a fryingpan untill it's really hot & turn down to what would be a 'high simmer' (too hot and they get too brown before it's time to turn them, too cold and they 'set' before being brown enough to turn)

    Use grease proof paper (the wrapper off butter) and scrunch into a wad - scrape this in butter and cover the base of the pan. Do this between each batch.

    Prepare a wire rack with a cotton tea-towel folded - you will place the made pancakes in here to keep them moist and warm.

    Take a serving spoon and dollop spoonfulls onto the hot pan - try not to run them into each other, but they can be seperated just before turning. If you want a BIG pancake, just slop some mix into the pan and give it a swirl.

    When the bubbles in top start to pop, it's time to turn them. Should only take a couple of mins.

    Best served warm with melted butter and/or jam.

    depeds if you are using baking powder or baking soda; soda reacts on contact with moisture, so is best for immediate results, but can give a 'tart' zing to them. Powder has cream of tartar in it that reacts to heat so is the one best left. (and I keep getting them mixed up & buying the wrong thing when one runs out )

    but better with sugar and lemon

    Pancakes

    For those of you who are gluten/milk intolerant, this recipe works pretty well:

    3 tbspns buckwheat flour
    1 egg
    pinch salt
    3 tbspns olive oil
    enough rice milk to make a runny batter

    Mix it all together and make as usual pancakes, except that because the oil is in the batter, you shouldn't need to grease the pan each time to stop them sticking.

    Foxylady, Sparkles, azande and I had them for breakfast on Sat and mine were .

    Re: Recipes Thread - by popular demand!

    Anyone have the recipe for that yummy chocolate stuff you make with crushed digestives?

    I know you can make cheesecake bases and millionare shortbread base, but it's a main component, and you top it with chocolate

    Help?

    Probably similar. I found a different one;

    {Warning - sweet toothed look away now...}

    Ella-feeds-us (Don't ask me - seemingly it's what "ella" used to feed children )

    8oz Marg
    6oz Sugar
    2Tblsp Syrup
    Large can of Condensed Milk
    1tsp Vanilla essence
    1 1/2 packets of Digestives (Large packets)
    300/400g Chocolate

    preparation
    - crush the biscuits {Either by 1)putting into a hole-less bag and beating it with a rolling pin 2)mushing with a masher in a large pan 3) blitzing in a food processor}
    - look out a swiss roll tin

    method
    - Melt marge in a large pan, add sugar, syrup and milk into it and keep stirring, bringing slowly to the boil.
    - keep stirring for a further 6 mins.
    - Add vanilla essence and beat it in.
    - Add crushed biscuits and coat {this gets very hard to stir}
    - press into swiss roll tin
    - melt chocolate and cover the stuff with it
    - put into fridge to set
    - cut into (small) squares and eat {It's too sweet to cut into large squares }

    Ah the memories! Many a happy afternoon I spent at my gran's house smashing up digestive biscuits, in a bag, with a rolling pin It was even more fun, when you hit them so hard that you ripped a hole in the bag and then the crumbled biscuits kept escaping
