"A rose by any other name"..........Making a tomato Rose










I am not sure who should be credited for making a "tomato rose" but whoever it was, thanks for being so creative. A tomato rose set on top of a cold salad or on lettuce leaves in the middle of a starter platter, adds a pretty decorative touch.





Here's How
Use a sharp knife, and carefully peel the skin from the tomato. Twist the tomato skin around a finger and shape into a rose. There you have it.

Papa's Curried Chicken Puffs

It's Saturday morning and "Nanny" is doing a spot of babysitting. My grandsons loved the idea of making chicken puffs and after a delightful mess and half of the filling missing, we managed to make these tasty titbits. The puffs are ideal for a quick snack or perhaps a starter platter. They should be eaten soon after they come out of the oven.



You Need :

1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Water
1 Small tomato (chopped)
2 Potatoes (Diced)
2 Tablespoons Papa's Mild Curry Mix
200 grams chicken fillet (diced)
1 400gram Today Ready Rolled Puff Pastry
Grated Cheese


Here's How

Saute the onion in oil until soft. Add Papa's Curry Mix and 1/2 cup water. Mix well. Add the chicken, tomato and potato and cook until potato is soft. Salt to taste. Cut out small rounds of pastry. Fill half of the round with a little of the chicken filling and a sprinkling of cheese. Fold over and press the edges together. Use a fork to pattern the edges. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and brush with a little egg mixed with milk. Bake at 200 degrees until golden brown. Puff pastry is always best eaten straight from the oven. Try these melt in the mouth puffs, they are good.
