Taste-and-Treats on the West Coast

Clearing out the deep freeze I found a 1/4 pkt Woolies prawns. It was one of those days when I really did not feel like cooking as Tony was up in East London. So I made this Fritata with my new Creusier frying pan  :) ( so chuffed with it !!!) and it goes like this: For 1 person "on diet" Defrost prawns ( quantity "as you like it") Chop a small handful parsley Grated rind of 1 lemon 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 2 eggs heat oven to 180 deg C In a very hot frying pan (metal handles!) quickly fry prawns with parsley, lemon rind and chilli. Beat the eggs and stir underneath the prawns ( distribute prawns evenly) Frying pan with goodies into the oven and leave to bake and puff up for about 3 minutes. Take out and eat before the whole thing collapses with a big green mixed salad. Note that if you make this for more people it obviously needs to spend more time in the oven :):)

End of the Month Dinner  J Here is another one of those childhood memories dinners… so easy, so cheap and oh so moooorish ! Having been brought up in a German speaking country, this is one of those standard pub foods you will find in Germany, Holland and even in the North part of Switzerland….. Speckpfannekuchen aka Bacon Pancakes.   2 onions 1 pkt of chopped bacon 5 eggs 500 ml milk ½ cup fizzy mineral water About 1 cup flour Canola oil for frying Half onion and slice then fry until golden Fry bacon until crisp .Keep in a separate bowl Mix eggs, milk, water and flour to get a thickish pancake mixture. Heat oil (not too much), pour in a small ladle of egg mix and sprinkle some onions and bacon into mix. Turn over as soon as the edges go brown. Serve with a lekker green salad .. et voila ! amazing dinner !
