Gus knocked up a delicious meal on Saturday night. It was from the My Kitchen Rules cook book I bought him for his birthday, a recipe from the two army boys from Queensland, David & Scott .... The recipe for Prosciutto-wrapped Chicken is here - Gus stuffed the chicken with mushrooms, sliced black olives and sundried tomatoes...Looks as good as it did on MKR I think!

seasoned with salt and pepper then seared it off in my dutch oven...~
then removed it from the pan so I could cook off onion, carrot and celery in a little oil...~
Add a tablespoon of flour to the onion mix, fry off for one minute then add in 1.5 cups beef stock, a can of chopped tomatoes and 2 teaspoons of sugar...~
Snuggle the gravy beef back into the sauce, add a good shake of dried thyme and about 10 basil leaves and let it slow cook for the next 3 hours...~
I also added in 5 portobello mushrooms then let it cook on for another hour, taste and adjust seasonings ... Flake all the meat with a fork so that there are no big bits left. It's ready to go on the pasta now.~
Gus and I made the pasta - I used 200gms 'OO' flour, 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of good olive oil. I made the dough in my food processor then let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes...~

Voila - fettucini!~
~
Ready for the pot of boiling water...~
5 minutes later - perfectly cooked fettucini!~
Beef ragu and fettucini...~
Everything cooked from scratch! Delicious!~
Jodie at Jellywares had a wonderful looking slice so I decided to make it. So easy!Jam Filled Shortbread Slice
.
250gms butter, softened
2.5 cups plain flour
1 cup Icing sugar
Jam of your choice
.
Place first 3 ingredients in a food processor and whiz until a dough ball forms.
After patting down half the mixture in a paper lined slice tin, top with your favourite jam - mine was homemade Mulberry jam from 2009 (actually it was the syrup that was left after bottling all the other jars - no fruit lumps in it), then top with the second half of the mixture, this time just crumbling it on.
~
Bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes until golden. It is buttery and shortbready ... Mine turned out a bit crisper than Jodie's, her's looks more gooey but either way the taste is there!~
and delicious! I had one piece on Sunday night then the rest has been plated up and taken to work for the troops. That is how you get rid of temptation!~
Enjoy the coming week - hopefully we will see a bit more sunshine than rain...
Cheers - Joolz
