Take a few ripe figs, score them almost to the base, stuff the centre with some goat's milk fetta, then wrap each fig in a slice of prosciutto and secure with a small stainless steel skewer (looks much better than those dodgy disposable wooden skewers).

Bung the figs into a tray and cook them in the oven until the prosciutto looks nice and crispy.

Makes a great entree and tastes absolutely divine.

A great salsa to put on top of your lamb...

6 ripe and sweet kiwifruit (or if you're lucky enough to have them, 6 feijoas).
2 - 3 Tbsp of finely chopped fresh mint.

Combine ingredients and mash to a salsa consistency and serve on top of fresh BBQ'd lamb.

To add a bit of 'spice' to it... add a few chopped chillies and a dash of pepper.

You won't regret making it - it's incredibly tasty!

I get about 3-4 shopping bags full of feijoas every year of the tree in the back yard. Last year we had so many i got grandma to make feijoa jelly and feijoa jam. DEVINE!

Eggs in milk. My favourite breakfast.

Break three eggs into a large glass.
Add milk (full cream works best).
Drink.

Delicious, nutritious, cheap, convenient.

OMG even the thought of it is making me heave... :shock:

caramel tarts:
take a packet of butter nut snap biscuits, put them over the tops of the holes in small muffin pans.

put into a hot oven briefly until soft.

gently push down on their centres until they form a 'cup'

take a can of nestle 'top and fill caramel' ((or choc, whatever turns you on)) stir it until smooth then spoon it into the cooled biscuit cups

top with a bit of whipped cream and there you have it

This is brilliant, I am trying it tomorrow!!!

And if we are talking about decorated cakes, I have a couple to include...

You are lucky to have Feijoas! They're my all time favourite fruit. I want to grow them up here, but I fear the hot weather will destroy their flavour.

This is off th etop of my head, so may be a bit wrong: Penne Boscaiola
500g penne
1tablespoon crushed garlic
1 small tin evaporated milk - don't use condensed, you will get caramel
1 small onion
150g button mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped bacon
1/2 cup grated cheese

Onion, bacon and mushrooms into pan and cook until onion is done. Add garlic and evap milk. Reduce.
Cook penne, drain and add to pan, add cheese and stir thru. extra cheese - parmesan - to taste if desired.

DATE SLICE

50gs icing sugar
4 egg yolks


500gs dates (my fave is the Californian Medjool Date)
1/2 cup water
2tsp grated lemon rind
2tbsp lemon juice

Steps:
Stortcrust Pastry

Place Butter, flour,sugar and yolks in food processor and in short sharp bursts combine untill it resembles bread crumbs.
Remove from processor and combine into a ball
Place ball in Glad Wrap and refridgerate for an hour

Pre Heat Oven to 180C (fan forced)

Date Filling

Chop the dates
Place in saucepan with the water Lemon rind and Lemon Juice
Cook and stir untill mix is thick but smooth

Combining the 2

Dived the pastry in half
Fit to Base of tin
Pour in Date mix
Cover top with rest of the pastry (you can make it as fancy as you want)
Glaze with milk and sprinkle with sugar
Cook for 25mins then cool in tin
Cut to desired shapes


Date Marshmallows

You need:
6 large dates
3 marshmallows

Steps:
Slice 1 side of each date open
Cut the marshmallows in half
Put 1 half in each date
Put on a plate (that wont blow up in the nuker)
Nuke for 30 second or more....depending on how hot you want it

ENJOY
(WARNING>>>CAN BE VERY HOT)


Date Bread (bread maker)

You need:
Your normal bread mix
+
1-2 Tablespoons of brown sugar
50gs Sultanas
50gs Rasains
100-150gs whole dates (or chopped in half)

Steps:
If your bread maker has a Sweet Setting, put it on that
Depending on the size of the loaf your making put it in that setting aswell (Large-Medium-Small)
Put Normal mix in the Tin

When cooked cut into slices (that will fit into a toaster)- if you have a flip down toaster, cut thicker (the thicker the better in my opinion)

Oh...and enjoy
