Bangers and Mash - Make it your Own




I discovered this wonderful new group and immediately cooked the recipe of the month and promptly forgot I hadn't posted it and that is why I have to cook, at the last minute, in the future.  This is a feeling foolish day.  The name of the group is Make it Mine.

 To learn about the club, take a short trip to  Cook the Story.   The idea is to take traditional dishes and put your own spin on it.

When it came to the dish, Bangers and Mash, I had no idea what we were talking about and didn't feel, I could be too innovative when I didn't have a clue about presentation.  I decided to make potato mounds with the sausage.

 
 Bangers and Mash

Ingredients :

1 pound turkey sausage
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
 one onion, diced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
Method:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Bake sausages in a square pan until they are a bit crinkly and blackened slightly.

While the sausages are in the oven, cook the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. 
 
Drain the potatoes .
 
Heat oil in a skillet and cook the onion for about 20 minutes until caramelized.  Add onions to potatoes with mustard and black pepper.
 
Use a ricer or masher to get nice creamy potatoes.  Add a little milk if necessary.
 
Using an ice cream scoop make mounds of mashed potatoes and place on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes until they brown a little.  Serve with sausages.

Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
