I'm looking for cheap, easy, healthy recipes with minimal oven use?!
I'm a student, so cheap is important!.
My oven has functional problems, so if it's avoidable, that would be great!.
I also don't like seafood, so please, no seafood recipes!.
Oh and if possible, Australian foods, I can't really get a hold of American foods over here!.
Thanks :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

http://www!.frugallawstudent!.com/2007/09/!.!.!.
Heuvos Rancheros – You need: 4 eggs, flour tortillas, black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese!. Scramble eggs!. Warm tortillas in the microwave!. Warm black beans sprinkled with lime juice, chili powder, and garlic powder in the microwave!. Top tortillas with beans, egg, shredded cheese, and salsa!.
Veggie Burgers – Buy a pack of frozen veggie burgers (Morning star veggie burgers will usually go on sale for about $!.75/patty!.) serve on wheat toast (b/c I don’t like to buy special buns) with thinly sliced cheese and mustard
Salmon Cakes – You need: 1 can pink salmon, 1 can white/northern beans, lemon juice, dill or thyme, minced garlic, 1 egg!. Mix all ingredients together mashing beans and salmon!. Make into patties and fry in olive oil!. Serve on brown bread and add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream if you like!.
Baked potato – Baked potatoes are great because you can put so many things on top of them!. Some of the thing I like to put on are Morningstar crumbles (fake hamburger meat), sautéed mushrooms (season with Worcestershire), broccoli, salsa, shredded cheese, or black beans!.
Curry Mushroom “Chicken” - You need: Cooked chicken breast or fake chicken (I like Quorn), frozen chopped broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, lemon juice, curry powder, shredded cheddar cheese!. Defrost frozen items in microwave!. Add a scoop of mushroom soup, ? T of curry powder, some lemon juice and shredded cheddar to the bowl and microwave again!. You could eat with brown rice!.
Note for this one thaw all items on the counter in a pan of warm water 2 hrs before you make it!. Works just as well as the defroster on the micro!.
Fried Rice – You need: Rice, frozen peas, 2 eggs, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger!. I like to make rice ahead of time on the weekend and eat it several times!. I usually cook rice in chicken bouillon for flavor!. So sauté onion and add frozen peas to defrost!. Scramble eggs in same pan!. Add rice, ginger, and garlic!. Add soy sauce and some sesame oil to taste!.
Ramen Stir Fry – You need: 2 pack ramen noodles, green pepper, onion, 3 eggs, 2T roasted peanuts, stir-fry seasoning!. Soak the ramen noodles in warm water while you prep other ingredients!. Sauté onion and green pepper!. Add 3 eggs and scramble in the same pan as onion and green pepper but keeping the egg somewhat separate!. Add the noodles and seasoning!. I like to season with a sauce made from soy sauce, ginger, a little sesame oil, a little brown sugar, and quite a bit of lime juice!.
White Beans and Tomatoes - You need: Crock-pot, Olive oil, onion, garlic, 3 6” stalks of fresh rosemary, large can of diced tomatoes, and 2 cans of white/northern beans!. Sauté chopped onions in olive oil in the crock-pot on the high setting for about 15 minutes!. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 5 more minutes!. Then add the rest of the ingredients and let it cook on low in the crock-pot for however long you want!. Nothing in this recipe needs cooking so its just a matter of the longer it cooks together the more flavor it will have!. I live in Northern California and rosemary is a ubiquitous landscaping plant here so I have an endless free supply!. I think it is prolific in other parts of the country too!. You might add a little cumin or Tabasco sauce too!. Serve with brown bread and a little parmesan cheese!.
Note if you want this fast, use a glass dish add your minute rice and add hot water in the amount needed cover and let steam cook!.Turns out perfect if its done properly!.
also found you this website, its not all Australian cuisine but Im sure you will find a few to modify for your pallet!.

If you fry an onion, a celery stick and a carrot, for a few minutes, and then add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a small cup of water, and some dried mixed herbs you have a delicious pasta sauce!. Allow it to simmer for a bit until it's as thick as you want!.
