Satay sauce

Tonight's romantic Valentine's dinner consisted of vege burgers on the lounge in front of the TV. This is a rare event - just the two of us. I couldn't find organic satay sauce so decided to make my own. Googled satay sauce and made my own. This recipe uses cashews. Yummo! I threw all the ingredients into thermy Speed 4/20 seconds.

Served on fresh hamburger buns with the vege patties I made the other night, crisp salad, and dill mayonnaise. Delicious.

Tomato pasta sauce

My father in law gave us a plethora of tomatoes from his garden. Husband only eats tomato in bruschetta or on pasta so I to use up the remainder of them I made tomato sauce as the basis for quick and simple pasta when I go back to work for the new year.

I used the tomato pasta sauce recipe in the TM Everyday cookbook - tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil all chopped in thermy then cooked for 30 minutes.  Simple to make and tasted delicious. I can't wait to add it to pasta when the weather cools.
