Today I am going to share with you the recipe of what is known as “Aussie burger with the lot”. The reason for the name is evident: this isn’t your everyday cheese burger… it is made up of A LOT of goodies! And it is irresistible! What’s not to love about a sandwich filled with…
MINI MEAT PIES
You cannot get more Aussie than this: meat pie is an iconic Australian dish and it had to be a part of my “Come have some Aussie tucker, mate!” 24×24 event. You can get it almost anywhere and there are also shops that only sell these. They can be made with different fillings (chicken and…
SAVOURY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I must confess that while I am (still) pretty successful feeding vegetables to my 2 year old, I more often fail with my almost 5 year old. She is such a fussy eater, so when I saw this recipe I could not resist it and made it immediately: it was a success! I LOVE savoury…
EGGPLANT & TRI-COLOUR GOAT CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE ON COUSCOUS
Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking. They presented us with a very daring and unique challenge of forming our own recipes by using a set list of ingredients! Sounds easy, uh? Well… sort of… at least until I read the lists! Here they go: List 1: Parsnips, Eggplant…
ROTISSERIE POTATOES
These potatoes make a great side dish, especially for chicken. I love to make them when we eat chicken wings and they are always a hit together. Who doesn’t love roasted potatoes? And the mix of spices in this recipe is hearty, slightly smoked and full of flavour. Another quick and easy recipe for a…
SA PANADA
Today I want to share with you the recipe of a very ancient dish: Sa Panada. And when I say “ancient” I mean it, as it appears that it was already known more than 2000 years ago! The name panada literally means “ball” and it is a traditional pie from the region of Sardegna (Sardinia),…
PORK FILLET WITH A HONEY & MUSTARD GLAZE AND FRIED ARTICHOKES
This is one of those recipes that I have been making for such a long time that I do not even remember where I got it from! It is very simple, yet delicious. The pork is tender, juicy, sweet and tangy. I love to serve it with fried artichokes, the way my mum makes them. …
BUSIATI WITH HERBS, PISTACHIO PESTO AND CRUNCHY ZUCCHINI
I noticed that I haven’t shared many pasta recipes lately… and for an Italian food blogger that’s bad! Oh so bad! So, today I am going to make it up to you with a special post that is very good for you! My dear friend Cì from Il Mondo di Cì informed me of a…
PASTA CON I FEGATINI – PASTA WITH CHICKEN LIVER
As I already said in my Chicken Liver Parcels – Fegatini al cartoccio post, I never enjoyed eating liver while growing up, with the exception of chicken liver. There are 2 dishes made with chicken liver that I have always LOVED: one is the Parcels and the second one is the dish I am going…
GORGONZOLA SOUFFLÉ
Ok, I guess by now you all know how much I love gorgonzola… so I won’t bore you with that… suffice it to say that I often have some in my fridge. The other day, I just wanted to cook something new with it. There are certain dishes that I have always been scared to…
SCALOPPINE AL LIMONE – LEMON SCALOPPINE
My mom used to make this dish quite often and I have always liked it. It is quick to make and it tastes delicious. It is also somewhat refreshing thanks to the lemon sauce. It is a classic of Italian cuisine and it is quite popular outside of Italy… so if you are interested in…
FALAFEL
The first time I ate falafel I was in Paris… as it often happened with Middle Eastern food that was almost unknown in Italy. I am talking about 20+ years ago! I still remember the shop I bought them from. It was near Place des Vosges, in my favourite area of town: the Marais, which…
POLLO ALLA CACCIATORA
This week’s Regional Italian recipe is Pollo alla cacciatora, from the region of Tuscany or, as we say, Toscana. Who does not know Tuscany?? It is probably one of the most beautiful regions of Italy and definitely one of the most visited. And it is one of the regions with some of the best (and most…
SWEET AND SOUR PORK FRITTERS
Sweet and sour pork has always been my favourite Chinese take-out food. I am sure I have already said this, but I am a big fan of anything sweet and sour. It must be my Sicilian genes (it is a common cooking style over there) or my love for vinegar… whatever the case I never…
PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, ARTICHOKES AND SAFFRON
We all love sausage in our family. When I say sausage I am referring to the Italian style sausage made of pure pork. I am lucky enough to find some good quality Italian style sausage in Sydney, nonetheless I often make it at home from scratch, as nothing beats home-made things (I used my home-made…
HAM AND CHEESE SOFFICINI
After moving to Australia I haven’t been able to eat many of the dishes I grew up with as they simply do not exist. If you have ever moved internationally, you will know the feeling… At the beginning you do not miss the food you left behind as you are too busy discovering all the…
CHEESY GRITS WITH CHICKEN AND SPICY PAN ROASTED MUSHROOMS – GUEST POST FROM SANDRA OF SANDRA’S EASY COOKING
As you know, I am currently on vacation for a few days and I have decided to ask a few of my favourite foodie friends to write some guest posts for Manu’s Menu while I am away. I am so excited to introduce the second guest of this series! She is one of the most…
CORSICAN STUFFED COURGETTES – GUEST POST FROM JILL OF MAD ABOUT MACARONS
If you follow me regularly, you may know that I am off for a short holiday with my family for some well deserved R&R. While I am gone, I thought I would leave you in good company. I have wanted to host some guests on Manu’s Menu for a while and this sounded like the…
SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are a delicacy that I have started to appreciate only recently. Growing up I would always eat chicken breast… no thighs, no wings. I know, thighs are supposed to be tastier and juicier, but I never really liked them. Since moving here I have eaten chicken wings made in different ways and found…
SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES GLAZE
Salmon is a kind of fish I have always loved. When I was little, it wasn’t a very common fish in Italy… it would actually be a rare find at the local markets and would be quite expensive, but now it has become quite common and very popular. It is also the only fish that…
TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE
This is one of my grandmother Bice’s recipes: she used to make the best ever Bolognese sauce. This is not the Bolognese you are used to. It is a version that requires less tomatoes than what we would normally put in ragu’. Ragu’ can be either made with mince (which is what is commonly known…
BAKED SWORDFISH
This is one of the easiest recipes to make delicious and healthy fish. It is also the way I prefer eating swordfish as it reminds me of my childhood. My mom would always make it this way at home and when there was swordfish for lunch or dinner I would always be happy. This is…
