Cauliflower cheese tuna bake.

Steam, using one cup of salted water, one cauliflower until tender but not mushy. I include the inner green leaves chopped and the stalk minus the roughage. Waste not want not!

Allow to drain and retain the water.

Chop one large onion and fry lightly in a saucepan, then add the water. Add milk powder and bring to a gentle simmer. Take off the heat and add a cornflour paste to thicken, stir back to the boil. Add a can of tuna breaking it up to make a chunky white sauce.

Butter a casserole dish, arrange one layer of cauli, then some grated cheese of your preference, then the tuna sauce. Repeat till you use up your makings, adding a last layer of cheese. You can add some black pepper and capers. Bake at 180*C till cooked through and browning up pleasantly.

If there's leftovers they are good cold.

Barramundi Moroccan Curry

Recipe for two.

Barramundi fillets - if large chop them a little.
Coat with flour mixed with Moroccan spices - I make my one which I store. 
In a large frypan, Fry lightly 1 large onion and fry a teaspoon of the Moroccan mix to bring out the aromas.
Brown the fish both sides.
Add a cup of white wine and turn to low, steaming until it's nicely done. You can add some homemade tomato sauce, capers, chopped cooked potatoes, whatever takes your fancy.

Serve with brown rice or cous cous or nice crunchy bread.

Here's the blend:
1 desertspoon turmeric, 
ditto coriander, 
ditto cuмin,
1/2 desertspoon cinnamon, 
ditto ginger,
1/2 teaspoon chilli, 
ditto black pepper, 
ditto salt, 
ditto nutmeg,
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Alternatively you can use 1 - 2 teaspoons of a mixture of the first three listed spices.

Bread dough you make or buy.  Make a tea ring filled with tuna, cheese onion whatever.  Two dough balls.  Roll out to a rectangle and fill and roll.  Do it again and bring the two together to form a ring.  Put little slits on top and bake at 350.  You can put foil around like you do a pie.  When done cut your portion and serve with warm cheese sauce over it.


I love quiche, and this is a recipe w/o the made pie shell.  Buy a box of jiffy mix and use half in a bowl with 4 eggs, 1 and half cup milk mix in your favorite veggie and 1 and a half cup of shredded cheese. I never tried artificial crab but you certainly could add it cut up.  I add a seasoning of choice.  When I want meat, I use my favorite turkey sausage.  I don't think I missed any ingredients.  Pour in a nice size glass dish about 9 by 13 or 9 by 9.  About 350 for maybe 35 min. and put a knife to it like a pumpkin pie and see if the knife comes out clean.  I love quiche and what a great way to lower carbs w/o a shell.

Another casserole is artificial crab with sliced celery about a cup and half, sliced up onions.  Sautee those.  Add the crab meat and 8 oz of cream cheese softened a squirt of mustard or use dry mustard. Half a cup of sour cream.(there is onion dip that works just fine) 1 Tab lemon juice, garlic fresh or dry 2 Tab of Mayo I use miracle whip. 1 Tab of worstershire sauce.( it could be less, 1 Tab seems a lot) 1 tab of milk and 1 tab of sugar.  350 for 30 min.  This is a casserole that is served at chinese buffet restaurants.

The next one is for a cold salad.  If anyone has the recipe ingredients complete please help me for I love this one:  Artificial crab slice olives, onions celery.  I am not sure of all contents but I used i/3 cup mayo 3 tab of sour cream some tarragon vinegar 1 tsp of lemon juice, dill weed, basil, seasoning ? You can cut in bell pepper, I like the red.  Mix it and serve it cold.

Polenta ai fagioli

Soak 1 cup red kidney beans overnight, change the water and boil till soft.

Add
1 chopped onion
1 chopped stick celery
1 lge carrot chopped
1 can chopped tomatoes,
Whatever salt, herbs, spices you desire.
I add 1 - 2 teaspoons of Italian herb mix and 1 teaspoon each of turmeric, cuмin, coriander, a good dollop of garlic, and cayenne, as much as you can stand.
Simmer till vegies are cooked.

Meantime take 1 cup polenta, or one cup 1/2 and 1/2 polenta and semolina.
Add 1 cup cold water to blend then 1 1/2 cups boiling water and salt to taste, bring to the boil mixing well, turn your hotplate to the lowest possible setting and stir as it thickens, until the wooden spoon stands erect like a little soldier.

Now it's ready! A dollop on each plate covered with a good scoop of the fagioli. A very easy, nutritious and delicious meal!

Red beans and rice. Cook the red beans without the ham. Season with a generous helping of butter and some salt and pepper to taste.
