American-Style Baked Beans

Recipe by: Kelly

Reviews(2)

Perfect for feeding a crowd at a summer barbecue, this is a tasty twist on the classic American recipe for baked beans. The variety of beans used gives the dish great flavour, along with the streaky bacon. Try this for a break from the ordinary. If you don't have French's mustard to hand, substitute half a tablespoon of English mustard.

Turn a traditional bread-and-butter pudding into a delicious healthy dish by adding dried apricots and fruit bread. This dessert is very easy to make and a wonderful pudding to enjoy on a cold winter night. For the best results, use a fruit loaf that is dense and heavy.

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

Baking fruit brings out its flavour wonderfully, and a stuffing is a simple way of making baked fruit special. Here peaches are filled with a mixture of dried apricots, almonds and amaretti biscuits. Many other fruits – nectarines, apples, pears or quinces – can be prepared in the same way.

Barley risotto with broccolini and lemon

Recipe by: Patsy Jamieson, Diane Temple

Reviews(1)

A creamy risotto is traditionally made with Arborio rice. We've created this version by substituting low-GI pearl barley for the rice. It takes longer to cook, but you don't have to stand and stir it the entire time. Parsley, lemon zest and broccolini add fresh flavours.

As this delightful, colourful salad attests, pearl barley isn't just for soups. To turn this into a main-course salad, just add some diced cooked chicken, salmon or tofu.

Burghul salad with lamb

Recipe by: Elaine Russell

Reviews(1)

For this tasty dish, tender lamb fillet is quickly cooked under the grill, then cut up and mixed into a salad of burghul, red capsicum, green olives and fresh mint. No oil is used to dress the salad, just fresh lemon and orange juices, so the fat content is kept low.
