Another yummy dish I prepared – got the basic recipe from the net – modified to suit “Indian conditions”
I’m back at it – here’s something I just put together today, it was absolutely yummy – even if I say so myself 🙂
4 cups Mashed Potatoes
6 Meatballs, Can use frozen meatballs
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Pasta Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano, (Can use one sachet that comes with Pizza)
For Garlic Bread
5 slices bread
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
For Potato Casserole:
1. Shallow Fry the meatballs
2. In a casserole dish, make a bed of mashed potatoes
3. Put in the fried meatballs – should be half inside the potatoes
4. Cover with pasta sauce, paprika and basil
5. Cover with cheese and oregano
6. Bake at 180 C for 12-15 minutes – until cheese starts to turn brown.
For Garlic Bread:
1. Melt the butter with garlic in a microwave
2. Butter one side of the bread slices
3. Bake at 180 C for 2-4 minutes
Yummm
Note:
Mashed Potatoes can be made conventionally by boiling potatoes, mashing with cream and butter
I prefer to use potato flakes (called Aloo Mash in India), with butter, little bit of milk, salt and pepper and heating in a microwave
Two eggs can be added to the casserole before baking to add to the flavour.
1 cup red onion, cut into narrow wedges
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1-½ tablespoon flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup sun dried tomatoes, julienne-cut and packed in olive oil
½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
¼ cup fresh oregano, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
1 packet pasta, cooked according to package directions
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
1. In large skillet, sauté onions in oil until onions are tender.
2. Add garlic and sauté an additional minute.
3. Stir flour into onion mixture.
4. Add wine and stir until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Add tomatoes, olives, basil, oregano and parsley and cook until heated through.
5. Gently fold in cooked pasta.
6. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
