Winter Goodies Comp

[Nuttycake]

Could we have some winter goodies recipes ... main meal or what ever .... I now I am jumping the gun but all this rain in 'sunny' Queensland is sending the brain loopy

[Hawkes Hideaway]

A great winter recipe I worked out by accident a couple of years ago went like this:
About 700gr diced beef or lamb, 1 pack of curry mix from the supermarket, either rogan josh, butter chicken, etc. diced vegies (any kind but include onion, potatoes, carrots to make up to two and a half times the amount of meat) throw it all into the thermal pot and top with a couple of cups of coconut cream. Bring to boil and simmer for about 5 minutes, cover and put in thermal pot.
I do this in the morning. If we are not traveling that day I put the top pot inalso with rice and water. 1 cup of rice, 2 cups water a little salt and brin to boil for about 3 minutes and put on top. Put all into the thermal pot, place in sink and wrap a towel around it. This ensures the temp stays up around the 60' mark. As long as the meal is eaten that night and not kept in the danger zone of between 5'c - 60'c all should be ok.
Anybody trying this let me know what you think.

OK here's mine
Dessert!
Chocolate mousse (OK in summer too!!)

400gm of chocolate, Dark or milk your choice, I prefer dark, Belgian is best
6 eggs (seperated) whites whisked to soft peaks
1-1.5 lt of cream (sweetened to taste) whipped to firm peaks at room temperature to avoid chocolate mixture hardening before all is mixed

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marrie, add the egg yolks one by one (the chocolate will look to be coagulating, but keep mixing) next fold in the egg whites and finally fold in the cream, both the cream and egg whites need to be folded in to keep the mousse light then place into dessert dishes and refridgerate.

Warning; do not consume within 1 week of cholesterol count

Hi

Golden Syrup dumplings

This is one that my late wife used to make in the winter for desert. Great with a serve of ice-cream (or cream or both!) I recently thought I should resurrect some of the family favourites and this is one of them. Many of them are on almost unreadable juice splattered cards after nearly a fifty years of use.

Recipe – GOLDEN SYRUP DUMPLINGS

Make the syrup in a saucepan with:-
1 C boiling water
1 cup – small – sugar
60 gr butter (about 1/4 of 250 gr pack of butter)
I T Golden Syrup

Make scone mix out of:-
1C SR flour
1 pinch salt
Nut of lard or butter (about a one teaspoon size ball)
Add about 1/2C milk to mix

Cut scone mixture into small round portions and drop into boiling syrup. Cover tightly, boil gently for 15 minutes.

Makes six dumplings

I made this today, low fat, high fibre and probably needs a tablespoon of curry powder to lift it.
