Leftover Roast Pies and Mushy Peas
The final in my Greek roast series. This is an amazing pie made using the leftovers from your Greek roast.
Rick Stein’s Restaurant at Bannisters
Hubby and I have our first holiday without the kids, spending a couple days at “Bannisters by the Sea” and eating everything Rick Stein.
Duchess Potatoes
We are now into week 3 of my Greek Roast series. We have already created the roast and a side of pistachio green beans and now we will finish it off with some amazing duchess potatoes. It has always caused me great sadness that hubby hates mashed potatoes. Seriously….who does that? This has led to entire years without a mashed spud in sight. Then I took up the challenge – to make a mashed potato that my hubby will happily eat. Thankfully, for the good of my sanity, I have found my solution.
My Gungahlin Review – Delikase Filipino Restaurant
Gungahlin is a great place for a foody. There is a plethora of Asian, Indian and Italian eateries across our broad expanse. It is unusual though for a new place to open up that exposes us to an entirely different cuisine. Luckily for us we now have our own local Fillipino Restaurant. No more traipsing down to Weston for us, which I think we can all agree is a fabulous thing. Better yet a new food home delivery service will bring it right to your door.
Pistachio Green Beans
This is the next in my slow cooked Greek Roast series so today I make a delicious side to go with the big hunk of meat you have made. This dish is pretty simple but has great flavours, combining butter, garlic, pistachios and beans. It also looks gorgeous with its bright green colours. Get it in your belly.
Innes Boatshed – Batemans Bay
Canberra is sadly lacking in fresh seafood. So is much of the coast, since nearly all of the catch gets sent up to the Sydney markets. There are a few little havens though, which get their catch from the neighbourhood fishermen direct. One of my favourite is the Innes Boatshed at Batemans Bay, a historic family owned business.
