I posted this photo ......



......on Instagram last week and had numerous requests for the recipe so without further ado I give you......

HALOUMI AND PEA FRITTERS WITH TOMATO SALAD

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups (240g) frozen peas, thawed
250g Haloumi, coarsely grated
2 eggs lightly whisked
½ cup (75g) Self-raising flour
⅓ cup (80ml) milk
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
350g mixed medley tomatoes, halved or thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mint leaves, coarsely shredded
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Greek-style yoghurt, to serve
Lemon wedges, to serve

METHOD:
  1. Place the peas in a bowl.  Use a fork to mash until coarsely crushed.  Stir in the haloumi and egg.  Add the flour and milk and stir until combined.  Season.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat pour three ¼-cupfuls of pea mixture around the pan, allowing room for spreading.  Cook for 2 minutes or until golden.  Turn.  Cook for further 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.  Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.  Cover with foil to keep warm.  Repeat in 3 more batches with remaining pea mixture.
  3. Combine the tomato onion mint and pine nuts in a bowl.  Add vinegar and remaining oil.  Season.  Toss to combine.
  4. Divide the fritters and salad among serving plates.  Serve with yoghurt and lemon wedges.


Serves 4 but as they are just as nice eaten cold, make the whole batch for yourself!

Camping at Cooktown Crossing

Image
No, Cooktown Crossing is not at Cooktown (as I thought for a long time!).  It is a causeway crossing on the Mitchell River and it used to be the old road that took you to Cooktown.  It is a lovely camping spot.  We decided to go camping for a couple of reasons even though we had so much else on our plate.  Number one reason was to make sure that the wiring of the camper to our new vehicle  was working properly and number two reason was to try out our kayaking skills on still water.   Cooktown Crossing is only about an hour north west of us.  You head towards Cooktown and once you are past Mt Carbine you look for the sign on the left that says Karma Waters/Konaparinga.  From here it is only a short distance to the crossing.  We didn't get away until after lunch on Wednesday and made it there in plenty of time to set up camp and assemble the inflatable kayak. There are a number of lovely camping spots along the river and being mid-week we thoug...

You have to try this recipe......

My husband gave it a big thumbs up and I have to agree with him.  It was very delicious. I do up a meal plan every Tuesday before I shop groceries on Wednesday.  Last week I added Miso Salmon to Monday's meal plan and as I watched My Kitchen Rules on Sunday night I was surprised to see the two contestants were also cooking Miso Salmon.  My recipe is served with Bok Choy and Mushrooms and the contestants served there's with a black rice salad that looked really delicious so I decided I would add it to my plate.  I used my own Miso Salmon recipe but I think the one the contestants used was very similar.  You could go to the website to check it out HERE . Remember to have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start and it will come together very quickly. So here is my recipe. Maple and Miso Salmon with Asian Greens (Serves 2) INGREDIENTS: 2 x 160g salmon fillets, skin removed 2 tbsp miso paste 1 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp hot water 2 tsp sesame oil 100g sh...

A beautiful day in Paradise

Image
So, we have gone from this....... To this...... We are so grateful that we finally have sunshine.  The country is extremely wet and Philip informed me that he almost bogged himself when he moved the cattle yesterday.  That's never happened in the twelve years that we have lived here.  Thank goodness we didn't have the awful damaging rain that other areas of Queensland have had, and I'm not complaining, but this is our first real day of sunshine in more than a month. My heart goes out to all those in Townsville who have to face the almost impossible task of cleaning out all that mud from their houses.  What an awful job. But so much worse than that has been the flood around Julia Creek.  Many of our friends have had huge cattle losses some have lost their entire herd.  I just don't know how they will recover from that disaster and any help we can give them will be appreciated, although they would never ask. On the home front it has been much of the same. ...
