Garlic, chives, cream, butter, salt and pepper + splash of white wine.
Chop up / crush garlic and chives, add 150ml cream, 1 nob of butter, spalsh of your favourite white wine then salt + pepper to taste. Heat gently in a sauce pan until butter has melted and cream is mixed in. Take off heat, add prawns (butterfly them and remove poo vein) to the mix and let them soak for a while in the fridge. Take them out, pan on medium heat and remember they don't take long to cook! You don't want rubber! Take the cooked prawns out, throw the rest of the marinade in and reduce, spoon over cooked prawns. As for steak, too many things I can think of! |

I would use 2 garlic cloves crushed. Fry in some butter for about 30 secs (do not let burn) add 200ml of cream, splash of white wine, salt and pepper, bring to a simmer/gentle boil, add some freshly chopped parsley
Before making sauce Butterfly 8 nice sized prawns and remove the vein, drop into the simmering/boiling liquid for no more than 3mins. Spoon prawns and sauce (4 prawns each) onto a nice thick scotch fillet. I usually season my meat with salt and pepper, sear on both sides for 1 min in a super hot pan and put in oven at 180c for 10-15mins depending on thickness. Rest meat for 10mins, before serving. Generally I get a nice medium steak. Hint: To stop butter burning add a splash of olive oil. |

Not fancy by any means, but if you like scrambled eggs then you have to try my recipe. Best I've found for a long, long time.
MWTB's scrambled (scambie) eggs 3 or 4 eggs 1 tablespoon of butter 1 heaped tsp of creme' fraiche. Small pinch of Parmesan cheese. Dash of full cream milk Directions: 1. Break eggs into a saucepan (off the heat), adding the butter, cheese and milk along with them. Do NOT scramble and for god's sake wait until the end to add salt. 2. Put saucepan onto medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon or an egg flip continuously until the mixture is well and truly scrambled as it would be if you had whisked it. 3. Take off the heat and continue stirring for 30 seconds. 4. Return to heat. Once you begin to notice the egg changing form from liquid to sold, remove from heat again and continue stirring (you want to be stirring literally the entire time the saucepan is on the heat). 5. Repeat processes above until the eggs are 95% cooked and remove from heat for the final time. 6. While still stirring and allowing the residual heat in the saucepan cook the rest of the eggs, get your creme' fraiche ready. 7. When your eggs get to the stage you want to eat them (please don't overcook them, it will ruin them), add in your tsp of creme' fraiche to bring the temperature down so they don't cook themselves any longer, and to add taste. 8. Garnish with salt, ground pepper and parsley on top of sourdough toast. Tomato sauce optional. Not healthy by any means, but I've never had a better scambie egg from any restaurant or cafe.

Sounds nice. I usually whisk eggs, pepper and milk together, add to pan on low, stir all the time and also add a dollop of philly cream cheese. On my temp it takes about 15mins to get the eggs to cook. Couple of omlettes to try guys. Maggi Noodle omlette. Take 3 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk + the sachet of you favourite flavour of maggi noodles and whick together really well. Cook and drain the noodles from the packet, Add egg mix to pan and spread noodles over the mixture as evenly as possible. Cook until egg is setting and flip and cook a further minute or so. Another one is 3 eggs 2 tablespoons of milk and some pepper. Whisk together and add to pan. In centre of mix, add shortcut bacon (cooked already), diced tomato, cooked mince, fried onion, capsicum and mushroom mix (I make this just prior to doing omlette), some cheese. Cook until it is setting, then fold the two sides over the centre. TIP: I use a second pand to act as a steamer. It help to cook the eggs more evenly and faster, while allowing the use of a lower heat, so the bottom does not burn, even if it takes 5 or ore minutes. |

MWTB's Carbonara Recipe:
This is another super delicious yet artery hardening recipe brought to you courtesy of MWTB. I will not be held responsible for any cardiovascular disorders you may suffer as a result of any of my recipes. 500 grams shortcut bacon 2 or 3 chicken fillets, cubed One of those tubs of button mushrooms from Coles. I dunno how much it weighs. 1 large onion 3 large cloves of garlic Parmesan cheese, preferably grated 600ml thickened cream 1 cup full cream milk 1 large or 2 small beef stock cubes 1 tbs butter 2 tsp sifted white flour Pasta of choice, I use fettuccine 1. Slice up your bacon into strips of maybe 5 cm or so each, depending on how long you want it, its just preference. Again, with the onion and mushroom, slice it the way you want. I slice the mushroom like it comes on a pizza and I dice the onion. 2. Cook them up in a saucepan with butter to lubricate. Also crush in the garlic. Once they are close to cooked, take them off the heat and keep in a safe place (I just wanted to say that). 3. At the same time, fry up the chicken cubes in a separate frying pan until they are white inside and out. 4. In a new saucepan on low heat, melt the butter and add in the flour, stirring to make a roux. Once its nice and mixed up, pour in the cream a little at a time, then the milk. 5. Pour in the bacon, onion and mushroom mix, along with the buttery juices (I told you it's not healthy). 6. Add in your cheese, salt, pepper and stock cubes. I use HEAPS of Parmesan. I don't even like cheese, but Parmesan thickens it up very nicely. HEAPS of pepper also gives it a great taste. 7. Drop in your chicken pieces along with the juices. 8. Simmer for half an hour or so. 9. Serve on top of the pasta. 10. ...have seconds. (I wanted to have 10 steps).

MWTB's Butter Chicken Recipe:
This is another super delicious yet artery hardening recipe brought to you courtesy of MWTB. I will not be held responsible for any cardiovascular disorders you may suffer as a result of any of my recipes. You can also substitute chicken for lamb or beef very easily, but cook it for longer if you use lamb or beef so they become more tender. THIS IS NOT A SPICY CURRY. I hope I've remembered everything, I haven't made this in a while and there is a LOT of ingredients. 3 or 4 chicken breast fillets cut into cubes. I know Indian restaurants tend to use thigh but I can't stand thigh chicken, its so disgusting and gloopy and fatty...ergh! Nothing worse) Big can of Coles crushed tomatos...I think its 400g? 1 large onion 4 large cloves of garlic 2 regular carrots grated 200ml can of coconut cream (coconut milk is also acceptable, but will be runnier) 1 large or 2 small beef stock cubes 3 tbs butter Ginger paste A can of Patak's Vindaloo paste if you really wanna add some zing Can add things like capsicum and celery if you want but personally I don't. Spices: Garam Masala Tumeric Mustard seeds Saffron Chilli Powder Bay leaves Corriander Fenugreek seeds Salt Pepper (I think that's all I use) 1. Slice up the onion in half, and then into half rings (i.e slice it once through the middle, then slice it again opposite direction and leave it as that). Make sure its reasonably thin. 2. Cut the chicken breast into cubes, then chuck it in a saucepan with the onions and let them cook together. Also throw in the crushed garlic cloves. 3. Once they are both 90% cooked, throw the can of crushed tomatos in, then the coconut cream. The coconut cream will give it the nice orangey colour instead of being red. Now is the time to add the Patak's Vindaloo paste too. I throw in the whole jar. Also throw in the ginger paste, about a tablespoon worth. 4. Add in a teaspoon of each spice, except for the salt, pepper and saffron. I usually double up on the Garam Masala because I love the taste. Also crumble up the stock cubes and throw them in, or dissolve them in a bit of boiling water if you want the taste to come through a bit more. Half a teaspoon of chili powder should do it if you aren't big on having your tongue burning off. 5. Stir in the grated carrots, these add a nice thickness to the sauce. 6. Add in the butter, and then season with salt and pepper how ever you like. 7. Simmer for 30-60 minutes. I let it go for as long as I can stand not being able to devour the amazing smell that is overtaking my kitchen. So usually 20 minutes or so. Simmer uncovered if you want your sauce to thicken up. 8. Boil some water for your rice, then once you put the rice in, add a teaspoon or two of saffron powder. It'll give the rice a fantastic yellow colour and slight taste. Hopefully I haven't missed anything here, its 3am, I've had about 10 beers and I haven't made this curry in a long time. Matter of fact I'm going to make it tomorrow night.

I normally add a tablespoon or two of honey to our butter chicken - I love the subtle sweetness that it adds.

not a bad thread a few ideas here. I made some nachos the other night and i make my own guacamole. Now i pretty much hate every one you can buy in the shop (and most peoples too). So i thought i chuck up the recipe for mine that my mum taught me.
I pretty much wing it so amounts arent set in stone i can look at it and know its right You'll need: 1 ripe avacado 375g Sour Cream not lite (i find the coles brand is very good) 2 or 3 cloves of garlic 1 red onion (size dependant) 1/2 red capsicum (size dependant) 1 Lime 1 chilli or a good sweet chilli sauce (i use this as i'm a pussy) Sea salt and pepper Finely chop up your onion, capsicum, garlic and chilli (if applicable). Throw it into a bowl/blender/food processor. Core out your avacado and throw that in, then add about 200g of sour cream. zest of about 1/2 to 2/3 of your lime and juice of half the lime add soem salt and pepper to taste. Give it a wizz. At this point i'd normally add my sweet chilli sauce and give it a quick wizz but if you used real chilli you can skip this part. Taste it, normally i find 200g of sour cream is ok but sometimes a little more is needed. Same goes for lime and chilli Its all about a nice balance i find sour cream is better the cream cheese and lime adds a better kick than lemon that most people use. Sometimes it need some adjustment to get flavour right but i normally can nail it first time. |

* Small saucepan.
* Tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce. * Put the spag into the pot, heat it up. * Grate in tasty cheese until it goes yellowish and melted. * Sprinkle in some mixed herbs. * Add in curry powder, and lots of it, until it goes a different darker yellow colour, maybe a couple of teaspoons full. * Heat until nice and hot. Serve on toast. That'll put hair on your chest... ![]() |

Garlic salt on spaghetti bol for me
![]() Or a 3 slice sandwich with vegemite and salt and vinegar chips on it. I'll leave the cooking for mum or the missus. An AFF cook book, I would buy! So many great sounding recipes here! So hungry right now.. Actually might just go for a counter meal.. Feeling steak with mushroom gravy and chips with a schooner of old to wash it down.

I am digging this one up to see if I can spark interest from others in cooking.
Last night I cooked Rib Eye with mushroom sauce and home made chips. Rib eye was the best piece of meat I have had in my 30yrs. Was a 200gm piece, I seared on all 4 sides for 1min each, then put in oven for 7mins at 200c. Came out beautiful medium rare. My mushroom sauce 2cup mushrooms sliced 1 portabello cut in 1/4's and sliced 1 flat prepped in same way as portabello 2 swiss sliced. Saute in butter until darkened and soft, add a splash of beef stock and reduce. To that add 100ml light cream, salt and pepper. Simmer for 1-2mins stirring the whole time. Then add fresh chopped flat parsley and chives. Chips: Royal blue potato's skin on. Slice 1-2mm thick, toss through a mix of 1Tbspn rice oil, then salt, pepper, chicken seasoning and paprika. Cook at 200c for 50min turning halfway. Today I am making Gozleme, stuffed with a mix of (all fresh) onion, spinach, rocket, corriander, parsley, mint, chives, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, mozzerella and ashed goats cheese (local dairy makes it) instead of fetta. Just before cooking I will add a squeeze of lemon juice to the mix (house came with a lemon tree) Should be delicous. Tonight making spring rolls. The filling I use is free range pork mince, grated carrot, chopped wombok, bean sprouts, salt pepper and hoising sauce. Tonight we are going to use rice paper rolls instead of spring roll sheets. |
