FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Having enough nutritious food to ensure we are
healthy is a basic human right and is within our
reach, but hunger is the biggest health problem,
and one of the biggest global issues, we face in
the world today.
Deng from Project Compassion 2014 lives in
South Sudan with his wife and children. With your
support, communities like Deng’s can achieve a
good harvest and earn a regular income:

“I am very hopeful that we will have enough food
for the next season. We sell the fish that we get
from the river, and I am able to buy my children
school uniforms. Thank you very much and God
bless you abundantly. I am looking forward to
a good harvest”, said Deng.

PANCAKE FLIP CAFÉ
During Lent we observe Shrove Tuesday (which means pancakes!), go fish
crazy on Fish Friday and get into the spirit of Easter with decorated eggs
and hot cross buns. So holding a Caritas Café during this time can be even
more fun! Be environmentally friendly and only use free range eggs in
your pancakes, eat sustainable fish and buy fair trade chocolate eggs.

SIZZLING FISH CAFÉ
Take the Catholic tradition of forgoing meat on Fridays in Lent one
step further by holding a Fish Friday event and serving a simple meal
so others can simply live.
Whether it’s wonderfully tasty crispy salmon,
or simple fish sticks on the menu, you can run
OTHER FISH FRIDAY IDEAS:

their meal, selling tickets to a sit down ‘dinner
party’ or simply selling your goods at a ‘stall’.

TRY MAGGIE BEER’S FAMOUS FISH RECIPE – CRISPY SKIN SALMON
WITH PEA PUREE. YOU’LL WOW YOUR FRIENDS WITH THIS ONE.
FROZEN PEA PUREE
INGREDIENTS:
Salt flakes to taste
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 sprig chervil*
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 golden shallots peeled and chopped
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
15g unsalted butter
1/2 cup frozen peas
HOW TO PREPARE:
1.Spread peas on a tray to thaw for 10
minutes.
2.Place a large frying pan over medium heat,
add the butter and melt with the extra virgin
olive oil. Add the chopped shallots and
sauté until soft.
3.In another small saucepan, bring the
chicken stock to the boil.
4.Add the peas to the shallots along with a
sprig of chervil, and add the lemon juice.
5.Pour the hot chicken stock over the peas
and quickly bring up to the boil again, then
remove from the heat and allow to cool
slightly.
6.Pour the pea mixture into a blender and
process until fine. Taste for seasoning and
adjust if necessary.
CRISPY SKIN SALMON
INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp. chervil* chopped
4 wedges lemon
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt flakes to taste
560g or 4 thick salmon steaks, skin on
20g unsalted butter
HOW TO PREPARE:
1.Heat a large frying pan over a moderate
heat with half the butter.
2.Season the salmon on the skin side with
salt flakes.
4.Return salmon to pan, add the butter and
return to heat.
5.Once melted, turn the steaks over with
tongs and almost immediately take the pan
off the heat and allow to sit in the hot pan.
The centre of the fish should be a little rare.
6.To serve, pile a layer of pea puree on to a
plate and place the fish on top. Squeeze a
wedge of lemon over each piece of salmon,
sprinkle the herbs on top and dress with a
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
*chervil: a yummy herb from the parsley family
Generosity is so important in life.
Project Compassion… reminds
us all to think outside of our own
day to day lives and remember the
power of what can be achieved if
our decision making is based on
love and compassion.
3.Once the pan is hot, add a dash of extra
virgin olive oil and place the salmon steaks
skin side down in the pan. Cook for about
2 minutes or until the skin is crisp.
Putting the salmon aside, quickly wipe out
the pan with a paper towel.

EASTER CAFÉ
EASTER IS A FUN TIME TO GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR CAFÉ IDEAS.
Hold your own Easter themed bake sale or sweet stall. There are lots of
things you could make and sell. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
1. A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR
(LITERALLY)
Fill plastic spoons with melted
chocolate and decorate with brightly
coloured lollies.
2.
CHOCOLATE EASTER NESTS
INGREDIENTS:
100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
50g butter
2 (very generous) tbsp. golden syrup
80g cornflakes
10 cupcake cases
HOW TO PREPARE:
ǁǁ Place the chocolate, butter and golden syrup into a
saucepan. Over low heat, stir until the ingredients are
melted together.
ǁǁ Pour the chocolate over the cornflakes and mix until
everything is coated with chocolate.
Celebrating Easter is great fun, especially with
all the chocolate and hot cross buns we get to
eat, but when you’re holding your food stall or
morning tea remember those that don’t always
get to share a snack with family or friends.
Lorraine from Project Compassion 2014 misses
sharing bush tucker with her family in Kintore
due to her dialysis treatment in Alice Springs
buts finds comfort in sharing tea and barbecued
kangaroo at the Purple House.
ǁǁ Line up the cupcake cases on a tray. Spoon some of
the mixture into each, squashing it down a little and
making a dip in the middle.
ǁǁ Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for a
couple of hours then add small Easter eggs to
each nest.
Recipe makes 10 nests.
3. Fill the kitchen with
the wonderful smell
of hot cross buns
Make them fresh or buy a pack and
heat them up. Spread liberally with
butter. Yum!
REMEMBER – sweets should be a treat in a varied,
healthy diet.
