Health bread (Gail)
We use a great bread recipe as we're not all too crazy about
the white baguettes. It's a recipe that's moved from Bryony to
Tam and then to me and been adjusted every time.
Preheat oven to 180C
No1
1 cup oats
1 cup muesli / granola
1 cup wholewheat flour
handful of raisins or seeds
pinch of salt
No2
500ml plain yoghurt
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
3tsp honey
I mix No2 first so that the bicarb has time to bubble. Then add
No2 to No1 (not the other way around or it will flop) Pour into
greased loaf tin and bake for 1hour.
Trust me, if I'm doing it it's easy and flop-proof!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):)

Tuna soup - Serves 4
(Kareen)
This is really nice in winter. Don't tell your guests it's tuna
from the tin, tell them it's fish soup, they won't notice anything!
1 tin tuna (200g Princes Tuna Steak in brine)
1 packet Cream of Tomato Soup (Knorr)
2 tablespoons tomato purée
2 onions thinly chopped
4 cups of water
2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 green pepper
oil, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper
grated Cheddar cheese
Drain tuna. Flake tuna. Heat oil in large frying pan, add tuna,
onions, garlic, thyme, parsley.
Add tomato purée. Stir until it thickens. Add the packet
of soup mixed in 4 cups of water.
Add the green pepper thinly sliced. Cook until the green pepper
is completely soft.
When it has cool down, put the soup in the blender.
Heat it up again, add butter, cheese & milk.
Serve with garlic bread.
You can also add a packet of prawns that you cook in some butter
& garlic beforehand.
Moroccan chicken
- serves 10 (Kareen)
2 chickens
500 g onions
2 chicken stock cubes dissolved in 1/2 glass of water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon saffron, salt, pepper
1 packet butter cut in small squares
4 cinnamon sticks
1 packet seedless prunes
1/2 packet flaked almonds & sesame seeds that you must roast
in a frying pan.
Joint the chickens into pieces & season with salt & pepper.
Cook chicken quickly until browned.
Slice the onions. Take a big pan and place the ingredients in
the following order:
Onions; chicken pieces placed one next to the other; cinnamon;
butter; sugar; stock; saffron.
Cover & cook over low heat for 1hr 30. Shake the pan occasionally.
Cut prunes into small pieces & place them into warm water
so that they swell. Add to the chicken when it's nearly ready.
Spread with almond flakes & sesame seeds just before serving.
I usually serve this dish with a saffron rice and green vegetables
(either green beans or broccoli).
