Pork Potsticker Dumplings

Preparation: 30 Minutes

Cooking Time: 20 Minutes

Pork dumplings are a fantastic oriental dish that i love. You can buy them frozen from your local Asian supermarket and they are lovely, but relatively expensive! This recipe is cheap, packed full of flavor and super easy to make. I'm using pre-made dumpling pastry that you can buy pre-rolled, pre-floured and are found in the Asian supermarket. and this speeds the process along. If you want to make fresh pastry, its simply boiling water and flour and a pinch of salt but it will add an hour or more to your cooking time!! This recipe is my take on them, and will easily put a rest to your craving for oriental food! These freeze great too, so any that you don't cook can be sealed in a freezer bag and kept in there for up to three months.

Chilli Dog

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

This is the ULTIMATE leftovers dish. From fridge to table in just 15 to 20 minutes and can be prepared just as easily in the kitchen or on a BBQ. The main ingredients being a leftover pot of Chilli, and your favorite dog, or sausage. For the authentic "dog" taste i would recommend a good sized German style sausage (but not cheap frankfurters). Alternatively a nice steak and black pepper sausage from your local butchers would be absolutely amazing. This works perfectly well with a nice freshly made chilli, but is ten times better if it a day or two old.
