Killer Recipe

This recipe has now become a staple of our little household... enough to eat once a week and freeze the rest for the next... I have been cooking this for a few years... keep getting frightened I'll lose the recipe so now it's time to share...

Chilli Beef

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 chilli, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
250g or 500g mince (doesn't make a difference really!)
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
400g red kidney beans, rinsed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
salt and pepper
bocconcini cheese
boiled rice, bread to serve (preferably pita)

1. Cook onion, chilli, garlic in oil for 2 min
2. Add mince, cook for 5 min, drain off excess oil
3. Add tins of chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, ground coriander
4. Simmer as long as you like (5 minutes minimum)

Killer Recipe No. III

God, these little babies are as close as you will get to a creme brulee-type crust on top without much effort at all! Go forth and create!

LEMON PUDDINGS

90g soft butter (must be soft!)
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup of lemon juice
1/2 cup of plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (or baking soda)

- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl
- Using a 'Food Processor Stick / Wand' Combine all the ingredients so it forms a runny liquid
- Pour into patty cases / greased ramekins
(It would be fine to do this before guests arrive for a dinner party, then just chuck them in the oven at the last minute so they are fresh)

- Bake for 20-25min, or until puddings are really golden on top
- Take from oven and stand for 5min (they will shrink a little)
- Serve with cream or vanilla ice cream
