Just listed stuff im stumped with

Rikki

Chicken breasts coated with sage and onion stuffing, then roasted are nice.
Using the batter mix you could make toad in the hole. If you have sausages
Fish pie.
Apple Charlotte. sliced apples with sponge on top. Put a few drops of the vanilla extract into the sponge mix. You could dust the top with icing sugar.
Tinned mackerel could be used as a pizza topping along with the sun-dried tomatoes.
Plain flour is always handy to have to make pastry and sauces.

A few ideas.......:)

Hi princess lou,

fenegreek seeds can be used to make curry paste or a curry paste.
onion sauce powder could be made up and used as a substitute for white sauce.
bernaise and sauce au poivre is lovely with steak.
bourgugnon sauce also goes well with beef.
aioli sauce is lovely with crabcakes which would also use up your crab.
plain flour, use for baking, making pastry or thickening sauces.
batter mix, use for making yorkshire puddings or pancakes.
sponge mix, use to make a cake and use the icing sugar to top it.
vanilla extract is also used in baking.

:wave: welcome to OS!

Sage & onion stuffing mix - mix with a tin of mashed chickpeas, garlic and some herbs, roll into balls and shallow fry - serve in pitta bread with houmous and salad.

porcini mushrooms - soak until soft the make mushroom risotto or mushroom pasta

sun dried toms - shred and add to pasta or HM pizza, or chop really fine and make tomato bread.

fenugreek seeds - I'd welcome some ideas for these, I have loads I have one curry recipe that uses them, but they don't add much IMO.

mango chutney - I like this in sandwiches with blue cheese But then I also put caramel ice cream sauce in coffee

bearnaise sauce/pepper sauce - steak!

aioli sauce - pasta - or use on pizza base.

tinned mackeral - _pale_ do you have a cat? :rotfl:seriously - my dad likes these mashed on toast, maybe make pate?

plain flour/batter mix - pancakes, yorkies, toad in the hole.

hi celyn90, thanku for the welcome.. With the stuffing mix would it work if i substituted the chickpeas for cannellini beans? Not sure about caramel sauce in coffee though.. Lol wont knock it coz never tried it but it has given me an idea for caramel and coffee icecream, sort of a sweet tirumasu!
