Jackfruit and Lentil Kedgeree
Recipe and Images Amber Bremner Popular in many parts of Asia, unripe jackfruit has a fibrous texture that lends itself well to curry and even plant-based twists on ‘pulled pork’. Here I’ve used unripe, canned jackfruit, marinated and baked to create tender, moist, slightly oily chunks of jackfruit with a sharp, salty and pleasingly smoky […]
Paprika-Roasted Kohlrabi with Whipped Feta and Coriander Jalapeño Sauce
Recipe and Images Emma Galloway Choose small, tender kohlrabi for this dish. The whipped feta can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge, and the coriander jalapeño sauce can be made a few hours before serving. Serves 4–6 1kg kohlrabi, peeled and cut into wedges 2 tbsp olive oil, […]
Petit Roasted Beets with Herby Crème Fraîche
This bright, earthy concoction isn’t particularly historically French but it’s definitely posh. I like it at this time of year as it’s great as a simple seasonal dish on its own with a sliced baguette or as a side to a main meal. It looks fabulously frivolous on a winter table and the sweet roasted […]
Crunchy Stuffed Mushrooms
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Ashlee DeCaires You won’t be missing meat when you dish these up at the dinner table. Serve with your favourite side salad, roast veggies, or with a slow cooked tomato sauce. 8–10 large portobello mushrooms, stalks removed 125g round of brie, roughly chopped 3 cups loosely packed fresh sourdough […]
Creamy Kohlrabi Soup
Recipe and Images by Emma Galloway My love for kohlrabi runs deep. While sadly still not the most well known of vegetables, I was lucky enough to grow up eating homegrown kohlrabi as my parents had an extensive veggie garden. If you’re someone who fights over the broccoli stalk (me!), then you’ll love kohlrabi’s crunchy […]
Flavourbomb Miso Soup
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan Flavourbomb by Belinda MacDonald landed on my desk at an opportune time. Back at work after a festive season of overindulging I was, like many, contemplating those new year resolutions. You might recognise Belinda, she won My Kitchen Rules in 2017 and pops up regularly on the food scene from bone broth […]
Apple, Fennel and Celery Salad
Recipes and Images by Amber Bremner Crunchy, sweet and tangy, with gentle warmth, this salad is a crowd pleaser. Use sweet, crisp apples like Pacific Rose or Pink Lady. Aleppo pepper flakes (available from Vetro) are mild with a little bright fruitiness that matches perfectly here. I recommend seeking them out (they’re excellent sprinkled over […]
Fig Salad
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Brydie Thompson Almost any grain will work for this salad. I love the earthy nutty flavor of freekeh though, and it’s readily available at Vetro. Ingredients: 1 cup (180g) freekeh, rinsed, drained 5 figs, quartered 3 tbsp honey ¼ cup olive oil 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses juice and zest of […]
Courgette Tart
Simplicity is the key to this striking tart where courgette is the hero. Make it as one large tart or four individual ones. ½ cup Parmesan, finely grated 1½ cups plain flour pinch salt 150g butter, chilled 2–2½ tbsp water 200g mascarpone 2–3 medium sized courgettes 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil salt & pepper […]
Courgette and Noodle Salad
Words and Images by Kathy Patterson The incredibly versatile courgette often gets a bad rap as being a bit tasteless, but if you take a closer look, they are pretty wonderful. Eaten raw (my personal favourite), cooked until just bite-tender or slow-cooked in olive oil and finished with a few good squeezes of lemon juice […]
