"Whenever i make lunch, i will try to cramp in as much nutrients, ease, and definitely the encouragement on the use of less utensil -.-, salt, and anything else that hurts..."

Today's lunchie consist of Nutty Toma Pasta (adding of crushed nuts to pasta is a whole new trend, and direction!), and a simple side Pig Cheat A Chix Hush Puppies.

Review: Protein packed, jus the right carbo, eat your greens, crunchy, doh slightly oily (considering i dun use even a drop of oil when using my fave Tefal!)

The Eats!

Nutty Toma Pasta

Hush Puppies!

Ingredients
Nutty Toma Pasta
1 packet of Sunflower/ Macadaemia/ Cashew Nuts ($0.55/ $2.00/ $1.60)
1 Firm Large Tomato diced (get from wet market? $0.30)
Enough pasta (a packet last 2 for 2-3 days. $2.10)
Salt and Pepper/ Dried Herbs like oregano
1 tablespn EVOO

Hush Puppies
1 Slice Cheese (optional, and again any cheese goes!)
1 Slice of Bread (any left over, with brown parts removed, i used raisin bread and it rocked >_>)
1 packet of Chicken Biscuit, choose ya prefered flavour (would last for few use. $2.00)
200gm Minced Meat (pork/ chicken. $2.00)
1 Egg
1 tablespn Potato/ Tapioca Starch Powder
Pepper/ Dried Herbs
1 tablespn EVOO
2 tablespn water

1) Set pasta (break up into 3 segment to accomodate cooking in small bowl; less washing) in bowl, add generous sprinkle of salt, pepper/ oregano, and a dash of olive oil, and of course enough water -.- (so long it wont over flow when boil, and it BATHs the pasta well).

2) Cook on high heat till boil, and bring down the heat to medium. General rule of thumb, a further cooking of 7-10 mins would cook ya pasta; alternatively periodically fish out a few strand and test. Once cooked drain using a seive and leave aside.

3) Crush the nuts coarsely using the back of a chopper/ meat tenderiser. Always use a small plastic bag to avoid flying nuts! Alternatively use a mortar/ food processer, doh you gotta wash later :P

4) WHILST ya pasta cooks, rinse out ya meat with water and drain all liquid. Crumble in ya bread (tear to small pieces), water, add in starch, EVOO, dash of pepper/ herbs, cheese, and mix with meat.

*ALWAYS wash your meat! The bread and water is the secret to making hush puppies so juicy on the inside!

5) Beat the egg, and also crush the chix biscuit coarsely (see point 3).

6) Prepare a spare plate lay with aluminium foil (sure save the washing later). Pinch out the meat mixture to form meat balls (try to even out, any spare bits can be stir fried with ya pasta later, dun waste!). Than roll the meat balls 1 by 1 in the beaten eggs, than coat with chix biscuit, than eggs again, than finally the biscuit. Press into pattie (should be 1cm thick) and leave on plate.

*I always use foil, for they are cheap compared to the amt of soap and water you use for washing later. For Gaia i wipe the used foil clean with scrap newspaper, and stuff them into drink cans i send for recycling.

7) Once the pattie are finished, medium heat enough EVOO in a deep non-stick wok. The EVOO should jus cover the base (shallow fry and not deep fry).

8) Gently slide pattie in wok and shallow fry till both sides are golden brown. Takes ard 2mins per side.

9) Once all pattie/ now hush puppies are done. Discard the remaining oil, and use a kitchen towel dashed with some fresh EVOO and wipe down the wok (you dun have to wash or use a new wok -.-). Sautee the diced tomato gently (ard 30sec) and add in the pasta. Stir fry for another 1min (you jus want to heat it up again, and get some EVOO gloss from the wok).

10) Mix in the nut, and dash of salt and pepper to taste.

11) Serve and eat!
