ClaretMahoney Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Pesto Donaldinho Pasta, preferrably fusili 1 Onion, chopped 10 Pork or Turkey Fankfurters, decent German ones 1 Jar of Sundried Tomato or Red Pesto 1 Tin of Coconut milk 1 handfull of Wallnuts or Pecans (optional) Olive Oil Cook the pasta. Cut the Frankfurters down the middle lenghtways, then once again to quater now chop horizontaly about 8 times, you are left with roughly 35 or so small pieces per sausage. Saute/fry the sausage, nuts and onion in Olive oil on high until the onion starts to caramelise but before the sausage or nuts burn. Chuck in the Pesto and the can of Coconut Milk and simmer for 20 minutes. Now drop the Pasta on top of the creamy pink goodness turn off the heat and mix it all up. Serve in a bowl to be eaten in front of the telly. Be sure to try the leftovers after a heavy night out, not only is it a fantastic boozy snack but it may well cure the hangover before it starts. No promises but some of my mates used to swear by it and wouldn't go home on a Saturday until they had been by my flat to take their dose. I've tried dozens of combinations, different meats, veg, cream etc. Nothing even compares to frankfurters, onion, red pesto and coconut milk. It's like the flaming Homer, on paper it makes no sense but when prepared is phenominal. Hey man. As crazy as it sounds I tried your dish because it sounded interesting, and I do love pesto. Well, I cooked it for myself 3 other housemates and everyone loved it! It was a lovely creamy delight. Cost £11 to make it for 4 people mind but I look forward to leftovers in the morn. Nice one! The first time I read the recipe I thought it sounded good, glad to hea rsomeone tried it. I think it'll be something I give a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 14, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2008 having now tested the above recipe, I can say its absolutely lovely BUT if you don't like your food spicey I'd consider at least halving if not quartering the amounts of paprika A real winter warmer though and the prunes really do add a nice fruity touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I made spicy black eyed beans yesterday (all the veggies like Juju would approve). Unfortunately I was awake half the night farting.

tonyh29 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 another Jamie Oliver recipe This is really simple. First of all give your fish a wash, then smash it's head on a hard surface before ripping it's guts out with a sharp knife whack it in an oven , adopt a fake mockney accent and knock out a quick Sainsbury advert about healthy eating whilst secretly stuffing your face with take aways from burger King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Today I wanted a snack at lunch so I thought I'd make a prawn salad...

PompeyVillan Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I know what you are saying Tony but he does actually make easy simple tasty food, no matter what you think of his accent and his branding of Sainsburys. Its very rarely I cook a Jamie Oliver disaster Oh and I served the above fish with saute potatoes, green beans and puy lentils Have to echo this. His latest cookbook, the ministry of food I think it is, is brilliant. My GF has and has been cooking me some good grub. Just your basic and quite classic type dishes. They're 'made easy', but still really flavoursome. ----------- I have a recipee for chilli beef burgers that are absolutely delicious, but its not an exact science. The amounts and weights I cannot give, because I do it in a very ad hoc way. Beef mince, finely chopped onion and a clove or two of garlic (lightly cooked), wholemeal breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, chilli, cajun seasoning. Mix together and shaped into burgers, not too big or thick (an easy mistake). Good way to cook: BBQ or griddled till brown and then put in oven to cook through. Making your own burgers is brilliant, because its cost effective and 10x better and fresher than the burgers you get in supermarkets. And they're a definate winner on the BBQ. Really easy and you can experiement with lots of different ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
