  3. Lightly fry the Onions and Capsicum together , feel free to sprinkle salt to flavour
  4. Once pumpkin is cooked, remove skin and dice into bite sized cubes
  5. Put pumpkin cubes into large bowl or bag, add Garam masala, Cumin, Salt, Pepper and carefully mix together
  6. Dice the meat into bite sized squares, fry quickly in the frypan with the Garlic and a little salt.

Muesli Bars – Whatever flavour you want

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Ingredients

  1. half cup brown sugar
  2. 2 eggs
  3. 3-4 cups of other ingredients (oats, rice pops, fruit, nuts, etc – you choose!)

Instructions

  1. Mix brown sugar with egg until smoth.
  2. Mix all of your other ingredients into that mixture until its fairly dry and stuff (too wet just does not work).
  3. Line a slice tray or similar with grease proof paper
  4. Pack the slice mix into the tray hard.
  5. Bake in oven for 30 mins at 180C

Variations

Here are a few ways I have varied the ingredient list

Kids like this one, its light and tasty

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup Rice pops
  • 1/2 cup coconut shredded
  • 1/2 cup Cashew nuts
  • 1/2 cup choc chips

When I’m cycling i like something more like this

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup variable nuts
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 1/2 cup choc chips

Try a few variations of your own dried fruits, nuts, whatever you like. I often also melt a bit of cooking chocolate and do a squiggle (chocolate is key to making children think its nice!). You could probably just use pre-made muesli in a rush :)

Prep time: 15mins

Number of servings (yield): 12

Meal type: snack
