Recipes-Easy salted caramel and

Easy salted caramel and banana cups recipe

These salted caramel and banana cups are so easy to make. The caramel sauce somehow manages to make anything you pour it over seem extra special and a bit fancy!
Easy salted caramel and banana cups

Serving Size:

8

Category:

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup butter (cubed)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup golden syrup
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 banana (sliced, small)
  • 1 packet popcorn (lightly salted)

Method:

Combine butter, sugar, golden syrup and cream in a small, heavy-based saucepan.
Stir over medium heat until the butter is melted and mixture is a smooth consistency – do not allow to boil. Reduce heat and leave to simmer, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir through the salt. Remove from heat and set aside to thicken for 20 minutes.
Once the sauce has cooled and thickened, dollop a tablespoon or two into the bottom of serving cups or glasses, then arrange banana slices, top with popcorn and to finish off drizzle over some more caramel sauce.

Notes:

    If making ahead to serve later, transfer the caramel sauce into a storage jar or tub and keep chilled. It stays spreadable even in the fridge but can be brought back to pouring consistency left out for 10 minutes.
  • Alternatively, you can pour the first layer of caramel into your serving glasses and refrigerate these to cut prep time when ready to serve.

Panko-crumbed chicken schnitzel

Panko-crumbed chicken schnitzel recipe

You could cut it into small fingers for toddlers or even pack it into lunch boxes.

Serving Size:

6-8 pieces

Category:

Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken breast fillet
  • 1 cup (150g) plain flour
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
  • 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil for shallow frying

Method:

Step 1. Slice the chicken breast into 5mm thick slices.
Step 2. Set up a crumbing station by placing the flour, eggs mixed with milk and breadcrumbs into three shallow bowls.
Step 3. Take each piece of chicken and coat in flour, dip into egg-wash and then gently coat in panko crumbs.
Step 4. Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes or until golden on both sides and cooked through. Place cooked pieces onto kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Notes:

  • You need a light touch with panko crumbs. You don't need to press them into the chicken, just dip and coat.
  • You can also deep-fry these in very hot oil.
  • You can find panko breadcrumbs in the Asian food section of your local supermarket.
  • You can make this schnitzel into a cheese-y Chicken parmigiana for a slight variation.
  • If you are fond of an extra crunchy schnitzel then give this Crunchy chicken schnitzel a go.
  • If you think you need a flavour boost then add some garlic like we have in this Garlic chicken schnitzel.
  • Healthy chicken schnitzel is almost a contradiction but we have managed to reduce the fat in this one.

Recipes- Kids Friendly Chefs Salad Recipe

Kids friendly chefs salad recipe

Sick of hearing 'I hate salad'? Try serving up this kid-friendly 'salad' to your little ones that has fun finger food sticks instead of everything all mixed together.

Kid friendly chefs saladServing Size:

2

Category:

Ingredients:

  • 6 cherry tomato (halved)
  • 1/3 capsicum
  • 6 slice 97% fat-free ham (deli)
  • 50 g cheddar cheese

Method:

Prepare vegetables – peel and cut carrot into long sticks; cut cucumber into strips, remove inner seeds if you like; slice tomatoes into halves, slice capsicum.
Prepare proteins – roll up ham slices or cut into long strips. Cut cheese into long strips.
Arrange all ingredients on a plate in groups of individual foods so the child can choose what they like.
Serve with soft wholemeal bread and a glass of milk. Let your child eat with their fingers.

Notes:

  • Cheese and ham are the cornerstone of a Chef’s salad but after that it’s really what you’ve got hanging around in the fridge. Any combo of vegetables and cold meats or chicken works well. Sometimes I like to add green grapes or a few blueberries for a sweet note.
  • If your child is fussy about eating their food separately, arrange the long strips in a nice pattern, grouping the single foods together so “nothing touches each other".
