Banana peanut butter honey toasties

Not much to describe, serve with greek yoghurt and liberal sprinkling of cinnamon sugar for breakfast.

Coco's Salad

Remarkably like a Caeser salad, with the difference that Coco makes it so Arizona will eat it.

Bag of leaf mix
A bit of shredded cabbage
Cubed stong cheddar
Good handful of chopped mixed nuts
Cubed cucumber
Lots of large garlic crutons
Served with standard coleskaw dressing

American plancakes

1 cup flour, 150ml milk, 1 large egg, 1tsp baking powder, vanilla essence, pinch salt.

Gnocchi alla Romana

EDIT: to make it cheaper and larger (for 6 people) 

4 cups milk, add 1.7 cups semolina, cook 5 mins and then add the knobs of butter and a couple of handfuls of grated cheese. When cutting up, do squares rather than circles so you use everything. Top with parmesan (no need for more butter) and bake. This was exactly enough, no leftovers. 

3 cups milk, heat, add 1.25 cups semolina and cook for five minutes, stirring. Add 2tbsps of cubed butter and 2 egg yolks, a good quantity of grated parmesan, and season. Chill into a sheet. Cut into rounds, or whatever you want. Arrange in a dish, sprinkle with more parmesan and butter, and cook until top is crispy. Enjoy. As Chef John says.

Veggie reminders

Roast Stuffed Onions 

Boil large onions whole in water until soft, top and tail and scoop out insides. Depending on size you can use several layers on the inside for several portions. Then blend up the rest of the insides with variants of cheese, nuts, herbs, beans, whatever. Nice alternative to roast.

Aubergine Melts

Like Imam Bayeldi only with mozarella on top. Good side dish.

Ricotta and spinach tart 

Sort of quiche affair.

Peppers stuffed with tuna 

Of whatever combo. Served with a simple tomato sauce.

Cajun meatballs and cous cous

500g beef mince
blend up one onion, a capsicum, two large mushrooms, cajun seasoning 3 tablespoons (yes) , teaspoon of vegeta. Drizzle of olive oil, mix with the mince and add panko until manageable. Provides a lot of meatball but soft.

Serve with well seasoned Israeli cous cous.

Oh boy.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Shocked to find that after seven years, lemon meringue pie is still on on this recipe list! Ahem: 

Sweet shortcrust pastry (2 of flour, 1 of butter, a bit of sugar) - blind bake in the pie dish

50g cornflour

250ml lemon juice

125ml water

1 cup sugar

---> mix and cook up in a saucepan until thick. Take off heat, add 4 egg yolks and 60g butter. Cool completely. 

Whisk up the egg whites into a meringue with another cup of sugar. Assemble and brulee the top. 

There we go.
