QuoteReplyTopic: Summer Food fro New Mum Posted: 12 January 2012 at 11:01am
Just wanting some food ideas for a friend who has a new baby and also older children.
I usually make a casserole, lasagne or shepherds pie with heaps of vegetables so it's a whole meal but it is so hot at the moment it's not really appropriate. I like it though as then people can have it that night or freeze it for whenever.
Anyway I'd love some suggestions for what you would take as a meal in this heat! Thinking rice salad, vege salad, quiche but I'm not that great at these and they would have to be eaten that day or next maybe.
Will also do the usual baking. Would love any ideas or great recipes you have.
Kinda takes a little while to make, but it's great cold in the summer heat, but can be reheated also.
Packet of orzo pasta (although shape probably doesn't matter!)
Few tbsp basil pesto (although I used more)
Few tbsp olive oil (although I used more)
Pumpkin, kumara, red onion, red pepper, courgette - any other roastable veges you like - cut into large chunks.
Boil pasta in rapidly boiling salted water for about 12 minutes, or according to packet. Drain and stir through pesto and olive oil. Chill.
Oven roast veges - about 180°C for 60 minutes.
Allow veges to cool, then stir through pasta.
Keep refridgerated as it's great eaten cold.
