Last night at our Kids Cooking class we made a Minestrone soup made from the chicken carcasses from the chickens we deboned the week before for the mango chicken ( I had frozen them from fresh). Minestrone and these pasties are a delicious winter meal and they both freeze well to whip out for a quick dinner. The pasties have a heap of delicious roast veg and fennel in them and are very tasty.

Recipe for the pasties is from The Real Food for Kids cookbook
recipe for the soup Tasmania Pantry 2 cookbook

Last night at our Old School Kitchen Kids cooking class we made Mango Chicken, rice and green fritters made with coriander, spring onion, silverbeet and zucchini. It was a fun evening unfortunately no photos of the cooking action this week we were too busy. Some weeks the kids cook there own meal, others weeks we split up the tasks and cook the meal together and then divide it up at the end. Last night we split up the jobs. Chopping the onions and garlic for the base for the curry , measuring the spices and dry roasting them. We boned whole chickens and chatted about making stocks. Washed the rice to cook . Made and fried the fritters. The dinner was absolutely delicious my entire family loves, this recipe is in Packed cookbook. My steph was a bit choosy with her food when she was young and one time when took her to a Indian restaurant I encouraged her to try aMango Chicken rather than just eating the pile of Nann Bread she would often do and she loved it so I had to Make a good recipe for it I could make at home!! While I do try to use Tasssie food no one can resist the occasional tropical mango , we used frozen last night.
