Kale Slaw Vegetable Loaf

I had some leftover slaw mix to use up so I made a vegetable loaf for Cerys' lunch, I just used the seed mix that came with the slaw as the topping.

I didn't mix it with the mayo that came with it. You can use any kind of shredded vegetables that you have to use up, and any variety of seeds.

Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped

245g kale slaw (no mayo)

small handful fresh Rosemary,

Thyme and parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

5 eggs, beaten

1 cup self-raising flour

seed selection for topping

Method

1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

2. Place kale slaw mix in a large bowl, using paper towels, squeeze out any excess moisture in the vegetables.

3. To the same bowl, add onion, herbs, salt, paprika and garlic powder. Mix together using a spatula.

4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oil and eggs. Pour over the vegetable mixture and mix well.

5. Pour mixture into prepared loaf tin. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the seed mix over the top.

6. Bake for 40 minutes until top is golden, or until skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

It is delicious warm or cold, Cerys really enjoyed it, so I will definitely make it again.

Aussie Pie Floater

With Australia day fast approaching, I had to share this Aussie icon. The pie floater is a meat pie submerged in thick pea soup, the pies are traditionally turned upside down sitting or sometimes submerged in the pea soup. The first time I had ever heard of this was while watching an episode of Billy Connolly's Australian tour. He was doing a show in Adelaide and indulged in one of these south Aussie icons. We tried a similar thing called a tiger pie from Harry's Cafe de Wheels on the Sydney harbour, the Tiger is a meat pie served with scoop of mash a scoop of mushy peas and a scoop of gravy, it was really delicious. A pie floater put simply is a meat pie on top of or covered in green pea soup with a choice of sauce squirted on top, the usual being ketchup, brown sauce, mint sauce, gravy or bbq sauce, some people also enjoy vinegar over their floater, I suppose the options can be endless, whatever 'floats' your pie!!. I searched a few variou...

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
