Tomatoe & chorizo spaghetti - washed down with Black Chook Sparkling red

Note: I found 500g pasta is way too much for this dish. So go about 300g.

Smashed egg, mango chutney with chili & yogurt on flatbread. I totally suck at making bread. It hates me.

Ingredients​

• 4 large free-range eggs
• 100 g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
• 6 tablespoons natural yoghurt
• 2 tablespoons mango chutney
• 1 fresh red chilli

Method​

1. Lower the eggs into a pan of vigorously simmering water and boil for 5½ minutes exactly, then refresh under cold water until cool enough to handle, and peel.
2. Meanwhile, put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat.
3. In a bowl, mix the flour with a little pinch of sea salt, 4 tablespoons of yoghurt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until you have a dough. Halve, then roll out each piece on a flour-dusted surface until just under ½cm thick.
4. Cook for 3 minutes, or until golden, turning halfway.
5. Dot the mango chutney and remaining yoghurt over the breads.
6. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and arrange on top, smashing them in with a fork, if you like.
7. Finely slice the chilli and scatter over (as much as you dare!), drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper from a height.

Tips​

EASY SWAPS
– Swap the chilli for a handful of toasted nuts or finely chopped coriander, or leave it out completely.
– Any chutney would work well here. Shop-bought is absolutely brilliant, or you could even make your own.
– Go for poached eggs, if that’s your vibe. Check out our easy guide for the perfect poached egg.

EXTRA VEG
– Serve with a handful of rocket, watercress or wilted spinach for a delicious veggie boost.

If you're into bbq then this is my go to recipe for chicken wings. Keeps the wings from drying out over the charcoal & tastes awesome. And yes, I split the wings before I marinade, you can obviously already buy them split at any shop.

Grilled Chicken Wings

These grilled chicken wings are coated in a flavorful garlic, lemon and herb marinade, then grilled to golden brown perfection.

Spaghetti & Sausage:
Dead set easy and I like the option of using different sausages depending on what you prefer. This feeds 2, so for the singles its an easy pop the rest into the Tupperware container.

• 170g Sausage. I used Tuscan style thick sausages from Vics Meats
• 130g spaghetti
• three slices of yellow onion diced
• 135g Pasta Sauce
• parmesan to garnish

1) Skin the sausages & crumble them as much as you can into a slightly oiled pan. Don't use too much oil, if your sausages are good quality they'll provide just enough to assist.
2) Dice the onions & add them in too. Should probably cook them separately before but I cant be arsed.
3) By this time your saucepan of salted water should be boiling and you can whack in your pasta while #1 & #2 are cooking.
4) When the onion & sausage meat is cooked add your pasta sauce. Be it home made or store bought. I have a bad reaction to most supermarket pasta sauces so either make my own or use the one I've bought from Dan's Pasta in sydney.
5) If your spaghetti is fresh it shouldn't take more than 3-4 mins to cook.
6) Once the sauce is heated through and you pastas is done just pull the pasta straight out of the saucepan with some tongs & add to the pan
7) mix well. I tend to snip the spaghetti a bit which is probably sacrilegious but its way easier to mix & eat.
8) Garnish with some grated parmesan


The key to this is one is good sausage the bulk buy 'sausage meat' from Woollies for Coles just doesn't cut it.

I forgot add tin of water at the start too and if it dries out too much add a bit more ,,,keep it really low lid on and shouldnt

Agreed, if you allow ithe sauce to boil too long you're in trouble, simmer is best. I've cooked something similar in the past, usually add about a half a cup of red wine the half of the bottle is drunk durin while I cook

Sausage and red wine pasta

Sausages aren't just for breakfast or barbies - they also work wonders in a pasta sauce enriched with red wine.

Fantastic - sooo its your turn to post the recipe Bruce!

And i don't mean to state the obvious, Bruce. But beef doesn't taste like lamb

Large onion, sauté in pan
Add 500g diced beef. Brown.
Add sachet tomato paste, a good splash of Worcestershire Sauce, and a decent sprinkle of Keens curry powder.
Coat it all and chuck in slow cooker.
Add 2 carrots and 2 zucchinis chopped.
Add 2 cups chicken stock and one can diced tomatoes.
Mix it up.
Cook on low for 8 hours. Check at 7 hours and add some corn flour if too watery (mine was).
Serve with rice.

*I’d go a lot harder in spices but this is for the sake of force feeding veggies into kids.
**You can’t raise children without a slow cooker.
***I know beef ain’t lamb but lamb got suddenly so expensive about a year ago and I have access to beef cattle as an owner so I’m really keen to nail the cooking side of it. Next week I’m doing oyster blade.

TO MAKE TIM’S FRIED EGG SPECIAL
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the oil and crack in an egg. Cook for until the egg white has just started to set, then drizzle the light soy sauce around the edge of the egg. Let the soy sauce caramelise and turn crispy before slipping the cooked egg atop a bowl of Special Fried Rice. Sprinkle fried shallots on top and pierce the runny yolk with a sharp knife.

​

TO MAKE THE CURRY SPECIAL
Fold the curry powder into the Special Fried Rice. It will turn a lovely bright golden colour. Add the extra water and toss for a further minute before serving up and garnishing with sliced red chillies.

I cooked this the other day and it was fantastic. Who knew putting fetta cheese in scrambled eggs turned it into something sublime. It's Chilli Scrambled Eggs with a tomatoe/onion/chilli topping. Totally delicious
