Do you have any veggie recipes for cooking with marmite?

I spread some on spring rolls before putting them in the oven, and it was pretty good... any other ideas?Do you have any veggie recipes for cooking with marmite?
I'm sorry I know its not a veggie recipe, but for any people interested in cooking with marmite; Marmite and honey makes an excellent marinate for chicken on the BBQ.





As for veggie food, when making some veggie soup a spoon full of marmite into the soup makes an excellent stock.Do you have any veggie recipes for cooking with marmite?
I used it to flavour meat with, instead of gravy browning or Bovril.
What does this have to do with the military??
This has nothing to do with military, but, mix with small roast potatoes MMMmmmmm................
Cheese toastie with marmite inside! Yum!





Great stock in stir fries.





Have you tried supermarket own brand yeast spreads? I find they often taste nicer than Marmite!
marmite + toast.

    Sugar cookies are always easy and fun.:


    AND, you can now buy the dough pre-made. Buying toppings (sprinkles, choco chips, icing)


    Mini pizzas is always fun too:


    Use english muffins as the ';dough'; have a bowl full of basic tomato sauce(ragu is cheap and the meat sauce is good) Toppings are just as easy.


    Only 2 ideas, but maybe it will help.Simple recipes for cooking with kids?
    microwave
    make your own pizzas--you can buy the crust or make it, or use English muffins as the crust. The kids can add the toppings they like. Sugar cookies are easy and fun, let the kids do the mixing and decorating. If you have access to a grill, you could do do grilled cheese or ham and cheese sandwiches. Kids love smoothies, too. Just toss some fresh or frozen fruit in the blender with plain yogurt and a few ice cubes. You can experiment to see what kind of fruit works best, and add flavored yogurt if the kids want to.
    pizza pinwheels......kids and adults both love these





    *frozen puff pastry


    *tomato sauce/paste


    *whatever fillings tickle their fancy (ham, pineapple, mushrooms, capsicum, olives etc etc)


    *mozzerella cheese (holds them together the best but can be made without for anyone who is lactose intolerent)





    put tomato paste all over the thawed puff pastry leaving a 2cm strip along one side. sprinkle cheese over the sauce and choice of ingredients. turn so the strip left plain is furthest away from you and lightly brush the strip with water. roll the pastry away from you towards the strip and make sure the strip sticks. cut into approx 6-8 pieces and bake with the cut side on the tray with baking paper and facing up if you get what i mean (not on its side) at 180 degress for 15-20 mins depending on thickness or untill browned........enjoy





    i probably made it sound complicated but it is so easy and yummy.....great party food too!

    fruit pizza is a great (and healthy choice)


    The crust is a rolled sugar cookie recipe then put a cream cheese/ sugar mixture on top. Cover it with various fruits and enjoy. Depending on what fruits you use you may need to cover the fruits with a glaze to keep them from spoiling. You can also make sherbert, frozen yogurt popsicles, jello jigglers, and a fruit salad
    Cheesy Hot Dogs in Crescent Rolls


    Hot Dogs


    Crescent Rolls


    Sliced cheese


    Have the kids roll the hot dogs along with a 1/2 piece of cheese in the crescent roll. Place on a cookie sheet and bake as directed for rolls. The rolls will give a sweet taste to the hot dogs and children seem to enjoy them. You can also use different condiments to dip them into. My children thought it was fun to make their own.
    Cupcakes. Fun to make and decorate.


    You could make spaghetti bolognese if you had a cooktop.


    Cookies... The kids can make their own shapes with cookie cutters.


    Chocolate crackles and honey joys.


    Do a make your own ice cream day, have different types of ice creams, sauces, toppings and cones.


    Tacos.


    Pizzas on flat bread.


    Icy poles from fruit juice and cordials.


    Fruit jelly.


    Fruit salad.

    4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts


    1 Sleeve of Ritz crackers


    1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese


    1 stick butter or margarine





    Prehear oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in baking dish and place in oven to melt while preheating. Crush Ritz crackers into crumbs (I just put them between two sheets of wax paper and use a rolling pin to crush them). Then mix Parmesan cheese in with the cracker crumb. Take chicken breasts, dredge in melted butter, and roll in cracker crumb mixture. Place into baking dish, and pour remaining mixture into dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, turn chicken, and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown.





    I like to serve this dish with some fresh steamed broccoli florets or mixed vegetables and rice.

    Slow cookers are the way fwd for easy cookin.





    All you have to do is drop your meat in it in the morning then when you get back afternoon it is done theycost about 20 quid.
    what about veal or chicken parm. and Spanish rice


    get already cooked Patty's


    you will need


    skillet


    small sauce pan


    med sauce pan with lid





    4Patty's


    4sliced mozz.


    med jar pasta sauce








    1/2 lb bacon


    2 cups rice the one that cooks in 5min.


    1 med. onion

    salt and pepper to taste








    FOR VEAL

    and dont forget to set the mood with candles
    Cook big over the weekends, and freeze in portions appropriate for your eating habits. Have bagged salads on hand. Have canned soup on hand.





    Also, invest in a slow cooker or crock pot. So very simple, and needs no attending to. A piece of meat, some potatoes, whatever, saving raw or frozen veggies for when you get home, as they don't take as long to cook. Soups, stews, and boiled dinners can be done in the crock. (I've done ribs, roasts and meatloaf in mine too.)





    Soups season/flavor things, or can be eaten alone with bread and butter. Vegetable soups can have addition of fresh veggies too.





    hope this helps
    I would stock your freezer with homemade chicken soup. This soup is a full meal and tastes delicious. It makes about 2 gallons so you will want to have quite a few plastic containers available. Here is my recipe: http://www.eat-well-save-money-recipes.c…





    Hope you enjoy!


    Anne
    Lasagna is easy and convenient. Make a whole pan of it. Let it cool, then cut it in to squares. Keep whatever you plan to eat soon in the refrigerator. Individually wrap the others and put them in the freezer. Take one out for dinner and microwave it. Put some sauce and cheese on top, heat enough to melt and you have dinner.
    Here is an easy one dish meal.

    OK! I know a lot of recipes but I can give you one incase! I'll be giving you one recipe of delicious fresh pasta! yum....! How to Make Pasta - Step 1





    To make one pound of pasta, you need 2 cups of unbleached flour, 3 large eggs, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt.


    Place the flour on a table in a mound and make a well in the center. Put the eggs and salt into the well.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 2





    Using a fork, gently incorporate the flour into the egg mixture a little at a time.








    Mix the eggs together with a fork without disturbing the flour





    How to Make Pasta - Step 3





    Once you have incorporated all of the flour together with the egg using a fork, switch to a bench knife or use your fingertips to blend the mixture together well.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 4





    After the wet and dry ingredients have been combined using the dough knife, bring the mixture together with your hands to form a ball. If the dough seems to dry, add a little more egg mixture. If the mixture is too wet and sticks to your fingers, rub your hands with flour and form the dough into a ball.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 5





    Knead the pasta dough as you would bread dough. Pushing down and away from you with the palm of your hand. Turn the dough ninety degrees, fold the dough over on itself and push down and away again. Continue this until the dough is smooth, about 7 minutes.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 6





    Using the bench knife, cut the dough into 3 equal sections. Form each section into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a towel or bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 7





    A pasta machine is great for rolling and cutting the dough. They are inexpensive and can be found at major kitchen stores or online. If you don't have a pasta machine, a rolling pin will work just fine.


    Flatten one of the dough balls with the palm of your hand until it's about 1/2 an inch thick and no wider than the slot of the pasta machine. With the slot of the pasta machine on its widest setting (usually 1), turn the handle while feeding the dough into the slot. Gently hold the flattened dough as it comes out of the pasta machine, but don't pull on it.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 8





    After the dough has completely passed through the pasta machine, turn the slot down to the next smallest setting and pass the dough through the slot. Continue to do this, making the slot smaller by one each time. Don't try to skip a number, as this will only cause the machine to jam and you'll end up with a mess and no pasta.


    As you continue rolling the pasta, your sheet of dough will get longer and longer. Try to gently hold the dough as it exits the pasta machine so it doesn't tear. This is a great time to have an assistant help you.





    Continue passing the dough through the machine until it's about an 1/16th of an inch thick.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 9





    After rolling the dough out to the desired thickness, it's time to cut the dough into pasta. Most pasta machines, come with an adapter that cuts the dough. If you are working on a table, you may wish to cut your dough in half to make it easier to handle.


    Feed the dough into the cutting blades. Try to have your hand under the center of the cut dough, so you can pick it all up in one bunch.





    Alternatively, if you don't have a pasta machine, you can fold the rolled dough into a square. Cut the open end of the square a quarter inch at a time. Immediately, unroll the pasta and lay flat.





    How to Make Pasta - Step 10





    Immediately after cutting the dough, hang the pasta on a dowel or other object (a clothes drying rack works great). You can also lay the pasta flat on a towel, but it is more likely to stick together.


    The pasta can be used right away or will keep up to a week.





    Well, isn't this the best answer? But the choice is upto u whom you'll choose!

    def mrs. dash seasonings. they have so many different varieties now. and they all are salt free. but watch other seasonings, i know alot of people who think they are using a salt free seasoning when in fact the number one ingredient on the bottle is salt. but mrs. dash is really good. i always have a ton of them and i use them up every month
    use lemon or lime juice instead of salt for flavor. It's really good and goes well with a lot of stuff, also, in you organic foods section at Wal-Mart or other grocery stores, look for ';Melissa's veggie rub'; It's really good and has little to no salt, try also Mrs. Dash's salt free seasonings. Good luck, have fun experimenting and sorry to hear about your Grandmother!
    This one is really good, just substitue garlic powder for garlic salt. You can also add some Mrs Dash seasoning if you can find it, it has no salt but a lot of flavor.

    Place your ham in a large pot with the bone pointing up. The bone part has two bones the tibia and the femur. When the smaller bone, the tibia, can be pulled out easily the ham is cooked and tender enough.





    This simmering process can take up to 2 hours so make sure you top up your water and cooke gently till the ham is tender.





    Once it is tender care fully remove ti from the pot and place in a roasting pan. A t this point you can trim off any excess fat you want but leave a thin layer.





    Prepare a paste with brown sugar, pineapple juice, a touch of powdered clove and Dijon mustard.





    Generously smear this paste over your ham and place in a hot oven till it is beautifully caramelized.





    Apart from decorating the ham with a few pineapple rings attached to the ham with tooth picks there is nothing more to do.

    Grease a shallow baking dish.


    Trim any excess fat on the ham, then score the outside in a diamond pattern.
