Jamaican beef patties! (Took about an hour). Made the pastry, made the filling (prime beef mince, garlic, chilli pepper, onion, kumara, red bell pepper, spices: curry, thyme, cayenne pepper, paprika, s/p). Made the pastries, and baked them in the oven. Ate them with chutney sauce: mango chutney, tomato ketchup and some Kaitaia fire.
Sunday
Made buttermilk pancakes for brekkie/brunch with left-over grilled pineapple, and berries. For dinner we had wraps with left-over mince mix, grilled aubergine, lettuce, ketchup & Kaitaia fire. Also made wraps with goat cheese, honey, walnuts and mesclun salad (YUM!!).
Monday
Persian marinated chicken skewers (cardamom, tumeric, etc.), millet (grains cooked in broth), and a Lebanese fattoush salad: consisting of baked pita bread crisps, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, red onion, and a fresh herb dressing of parsley, coriander, two leafs of mint, and some black olives, two garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and some sumac.
Tuesday
Oven-baked, marinated BBQ pork ribs (home-made marinade), stir-fried veggies (aubergine, mushrooms and asparagus), and Jasmin rice.
Wednesday
Ciabatta buns (baked with butter, garlic and parsley), with chicken burgers that were premade (chopped up chicken breast with parsley, some coriander, lemon zest, some lemon juice, salt, pepper), and aioli, tomato with basil and olive oil, avocado, and lettuce. Also had fried kumara ‘chips’ on the side. YUM.
