I got this month's Tea Time magazine and they put together a menu for a Father's Day Tea!

 

Umm.... how do I attach pictures here?

This is my own personal recipe and a pretty simple one! I make this for my dad, he really likes it. 

 

Kat's Basic Chicken Salad

 

Ingredients:

2 cans of cooked chicken in stock
Mayo (any kind works, but Duke's or any with olive oil are better)

1 jar of regular pickle relish (make sure it's not sweet relish, you want a salty one)

Salt and pepper

 

Drain the chicken from the can and place in a large bowl. You can cook it longer if you like your chicken that way, or just have it out of the can fully cooked. Mix two large spoonfuls of mayo in, but don't put in too much to start. The right amount is just enough to coat the chicken. Next add two large spoonfuls of the relish. Combine well, salt and pepper to taste. If the chicken salad isn't moist enough, add SMALL amounts of mayo until you reach desired consistently. The key is to not go overboard on the mayo, or else it throws off the whole flavor. Let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to marinate, then serve as a sandwich or on crackers. Great for summertime! 

Bonus: Dad's Specialty- add crumbled up saltine crackers to fluff up the salad and give it a crunch. This is how my dad likes it!

This sounds really good.  I make mine with chopped onion, chopped celery, turmeric, sliced grapes, and sometimes I add walnuts or chopped egg.  I agree; great summertime snack food!

Aloo Tiki

 

3 large potatoes boiled and roughly mashed

1 medium onion chopped finely 

1tsp coriander powder

1tsp chilli powder (can substitute paprika)

1 tsp curry powder

Salt to taste

Vegetable oil, 2tbsp each pan

1tsp of coriander or parsley

1tbsp tomato puree

1tsp of garlic and ginger if from a jar, or 1 inch of fresh ginger and 3 cloves garlic finely minced if fresh

 

Boil 3 diced potatoes in salt water, (don't worry if they aren't smooth, that will help later).

 

In a pan, fry onions on a medium heat (if using fresh, add garlic and ginger at same time, if using from a jar add after onions are translucent)

 

Once onions start to brown add all the spices. Stir for a few minutes and then add 1tbsp of tomato purée. Let cook for a minute or 2 then add 3tbsp of water. Stir for a minute then turn off heat. Leave aside until cool.

 

Add the mixture above to your cooked potatoes and stir in well. Put bowl into the fridge until ready to use. Test mixture and add salt or spice if required and either fresh parsley or coriander.

 

Heat some neutral oil, like vegetable oil in frying pan to a low to medium heat

 

Roll out the mixture in your hand and make burger size patties. Want these to be a bit big and shape them round and even. Add to pan and let them cook on one side for a while before moving around the pan and then turning them over, usually 4/5 minutes for the first side then about the same for the next.

 

Goes great with tomato ketchup, tomato salsa or garlic mayo. Nicest if the dip is cold to off-set the spicy potatoes.
