  Zucchini & Egg Parmigiana

  Posted at 11:50 am by tastewithoutwaste

  Feb 12th

  Before the summer is out be sure to make the most of the bounty of vegetables available, and in particular zucchini. Zucchinis/courgettes/whatever you like to call them, are a brilliant vegetable. Baked, fried, souped, grated into muffins or cake, there’s endless opportunities. This recipe was inspired by the Green Kitchen Stories cookbook, a must buy for any vegetarian or ethically/health conscious eater. A lighter version of your traditional parmigiana, it’s an ideal meal for a warm weekend evening. Why the weekend? Well, there’s quite a process involved, but if you complete the tasks in stages it really feels like no hassle at all. The perfect recipe for those who like to potter about, doing a little here, a little there. You’ll be duly rewarded for your efforts, with a stunning dish – layers of sweet, fragrant tomato sauce, thin strips of zucchini, boiled egg, creamy mozzarella, punchy parmesan, fresh basil and mint leaves. Hungry yet? Continue reading →

  Bobotie

  Posted at 3:14 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Aug 25th

  This post was scheduled to go up last Monday. Clearly my technological skills are not up to scratch! Anyway, here it is: a week late but here all the same. Bobotie. Looks revolting. Tastes fan-tiddly-astic. “Hold up a sec”, you say. What on earth is Bobotie? I’ll forgive you for asking. Unless you’re South African, or of South African descent it’s highly unlikely that you’ve come across this particular specimen. The traditional version consists of a sweet, spicy beef mince sauce, topped with an eggy layer, dotted with bay leaves. Think Sheperd’s pie on steroids. Or magic mushrooms. The ingredients list is most peculiar – chutney, jam, bread soaked in milk, lemon juice, curry powder….but it works in a most satisfying way. Have a little faith. Continue reading →

  Tomato & Feta Tart with Brown Rice Crust

  Posted at 7:35 pm by tastewithoutwaste

  Feb 14th

  We discussed the merits of having one’s own brood of chooks here on Wednesday. Today’s recipe is all about highlighting the most obvious reward. Beautiful, orange yolked free-range eggs and readily available (unless your chook is moody) at that. I couldn’t not prepare some sort of tart/quiche with tip-top eggs sitting in the little wicker basket just waiting to be used. In all honesty this Tomato and Feta Tart with Brown Rice Crust isn’t the optimum egg user within the quiche department. It uses a mere four. However, you’ll find four is plenty enough to get your eggy fix. Quality over quantity right? Continue reading →

  Acquacotta

  Spring. Blooming flowers, lambs, ducklings, the first (decent) strawberries. Happy days. But not entirely. It’s also that awkward in-between period when the weather doesn’t know what to do with itself, jumping from rain to bright skies and sunshine in moments. This year the change was so rapid that we went from relying on the heaters one day to contemplating dragging out the air conditioner the next. This is my first full year in Sydney, so I’m not expert on the subject, however I’m pretty sure that 29C on the last day of Winter (and the week of high 20’s that followed) is decidedly unusual. The change felt quite final when I ventured out for my early morning run on Tuesday and no longer felt the cold bite of air on my face. Instead I was confronted by a warm wind. Sad times, I’m telling you, sad times.

  There’s no question that it’s a tantalising season – conjuring thoughts of languid days at the beach. It’s also bittersweet – no more excuses for hours spent curled up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate and good book. Am I the only that feels confused with the onset of spring? In the past week I’ve spent hours excitedly trawling the net for summer dresses and bikinis (it’s a tactic designed to prevent me spending money as I’m less tempted to actually buy anything). At the same time, I’ve also come to the depressing realisation that it’s now far too late to try making that Autumn Vegetable Stew recipe I bookmarked way back in April. Behind the times? Just a bit.
