    FOOD: Corrie has a Recipe: From the new Ottolenghi cookbook Comfort: Linguine with miso butter, shitake and spinach 
    190g dried linguine (or spaghetti)
    1tbsp olive oil
    10g unsalted butter, fridge-cold, cut into 2cm cubes
    1banana shallot, finely chopped (75g)
    150g fresh shiitake mushrooms, roughly sliced 3garlic cloves, crushed
    50g white miso paste
    1tsp light soy sauce
    I tbsp Chinkiang black (or malt) vinegar
    150g baby spinach leaves salt and black pepper
    To serve shichimi togarashi (or chilli flakes) lemon or lime wedges
    The butter, miso and cooking water al combine to emulsify and coat the linguine here in the most comforting of al sauces. It's totally creamy without the use of any cream, and is perfect for an easy mid-week supper.
    Ingredients note: The suggestion to add togarashi - the Japanese 7-spice mix - feels fusion and works well, but some regular chili flakes and a really (really!) good crack of black pepper works brilliantly too.
    Serves 2
    Bring a large saucepan with 2litres of water to the boil. Ad 1teaspoon of salt, followed by the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain, saving 200ml of the cooking water.
    Meanwhile, put the oil and 15g of the butter into a large sauté pan and place on a medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook for about 5minutes, until soft but not taking on any colour. Add the mushrooms, along with a good grind of pepper, and cook for about 7minutes, until the moisture has evaporated and they are starting to brown. Add the garlic, miso, soy sauce and vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds until combined. Add the reserved pasta-cooking water, mxi well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and, keeping the mixture at a good simmer, ad the remaining 85g of butter piece by piece, stirring constantly until the sauce has emulsified and thickened slightly: this should take about 3minutes.
    Return the cooked pasta to the pan, toss for 30 seconds, then add the spinach. Toss and turn for a minute, until it has wilted, then serve with a generous shake of shichimi togarashi (or chili flakes and a few extra grinds of pepper) and lemon or lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

    FOOD: Corrie has a recipe: Apricot and Almond Cake from the Hamilton and Alexandra College cookbook More Food With Friends
    Prep time: 15 minutes
    Cooking time: 40 minutes
    Serves: 8-10
    150g juicy dried apricots
    250ml cold water
    2 cardamom pods, cracked
    200g ground almonds
    50g fine polenta
    1 teaspoon baking powder, gluten free if required
    150g caster sugar
    6 large eggs
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1 teaspoon rosewater non stick cooking spray
    To decorate
    2 teaspoons rosewater or apricot jam
    I teaspoon lemon juice
    2½ teaspoons finely chopped pistachios
    Put the dried apricots together with the cracked cardamom pods and seeds into a small saucepan and cover with the cold water. Bring to the boil and bubble for 10 minutes, checking occasionally that the pan hasn't run out of water.
    Remove from the heat and let the apricots cool.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease the sides of cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
    Remove five dried apricots and tear them in half for later use and make sure you also remove the cardamom husks, but leave the seeds in the pan.
    Scrape the remaining apricot mixture into a food processor with the ground almonds, polenta, baking powder, caster sugar and eggs and blitz until well combined.
    Open the food processor, scrape down the sides and add two teaspoons of lemon juice and the rosewater and blitz again.
    Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth the top, arrange the apricot halves around the circumference and pop in the oven to bake for 40 minutes. If the cake is browning up at the 30 minute mark, pop some alfoil loosely on the top.
    When it is ready, the cake will be coming away from the edges of the tin and a skewer will come out clean when tested.
    Place the cake in it's tin on a wire rack. If using apricot jam, just warm it a little to make it easier to spread. Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice to jam and brush over the surface of the cake.
    Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top and leave the cake to cool in the tin.
    Cook's tip
    Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days or in the fridge if the weather is hot. The cake can also be frozen successfully for up to three months

    FOOD: Caro has a recipe: Beef tagliata - Italian recipes by GialloZafferano
    Ingredients:
    Entrecôte 28 oz (800 g) - (sirloin)
    Arugula ¾ cup (100 g)
    Cherry tomatoes ¾ cup (100 g)
    Salt to taste
    Black pepper to taste
    Extra virgin olive oil to taste
    Method:
    To prepare sliced beef tagliata with arugula and cherry tomatoes, make sure to take the piece of entrecôte out of the fridge at least one hour before cooking, as the meat must not be cooked cold. Wash and dry the arugula well. Then wash and cut the tomatoes in half 
    1. Move on to the meat: remove the fat (if present) from the surface 2, then divide the piece of meat into slices about 1 ½” (4 cm) thick 3. Heat the grill and let it warm up nice and hot. When the grill is hot, lay a piece (or maximum two) of meat 4, then reduce the heat, to medium-high and cook for about 3 minutes on that side. Then you can turn the meat with tongs (do not use a fork, so as not to pierce it and let the juices come out) and cook for another 3-4 minutes 5. To ensure that the cooking is rare, you can use a kitchen thermometer 6: when the core temperature is around 125-129° F (52-54° C), the meat is ready. Take it off the grill and leave it on the cutting board for a minute to let it rest and retain its juices 7 (if you have to leave it longer, cover it with aluminum foil). Then cut crosswise to obtain several slices with a sharp non-serrated knife 8. Arrange a bed of arugula on a serving plate, the beef tagliata, and some tomatoes 9. A drizzle of oil, flakes of salt (or coarse salt) and freshly ground pepper. and your sliced beef tagliata with arugula and cherry tomatoes is ready to be served!

    Ingredients
    olive oil
    1 x 270g pack of filo pastry
    smoked paprika
    100 g couscous
    800 g ripe mixed-colour tomatoes
    2 x 130g salmon fillets, skin off, pin-boned , from sustainable sources
    165 g raw peeled king prawns , from sustainable sources
    2 lemons
    1 bunch of dill (20g)
    Method
    1.   Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
    2.   Brush a 30cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan with olive oil and layer in three sheets of filo. Brush with oil again and dust from a height with paprika. Layer in the remaining sheets, leaving a good overhang. Brush with oil again, then sprinkle in the couscous.
    3.   Finely slice the tomatoes and layer half into the pan, then season with a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Slice each salmon fillet into three lengthways and arrange on top, then scatter over the prawns.
    4.   Finely grate over the lemon zest. Finely chop and scatter over the dill, layer over the remaining tomatoes and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add another small pinch of salt and pepper, then fold in the overhanging filo to cover, scrunching it as you go.
    5.   Brush with a little more oil, squeeze over the lemon juice and dust with more paprika.
    6.   Place over a high heat on the hob until it starts to sizzle – about 4 minutes – then bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Nice served with a dollop of yoghurt and a seasonal salad.

Heat olive oil in a large casserole dish with a lid over medium heat. Add the pork shoulder, fat side down, and allow it to brown undisturbed for about 5 minutes until caramelised. Turn the pork over and repeat, ensuring all sides get caramelised. Use tongs to prop the pork against the side of the pan to brown the sides.Once browned, turn the shoulder fat side up. Pour in the apple cider and chicken stock.Add mustard, garlic and thyme, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.Cover pork shoulder loosely with baking paper - this will help keep things nice and tender - and put the lid on (or move to a baking dish and double cover with foil). Place in the oven and cook for 3 hours.Carefully remove from the oven and arrange onion and apple wedges around the pork shoulder. Cover and return to the oven for another 30 minutes. At this stage the meat should be falling apart, and the apples and onions tender. Remove from the oven, spoon over the juices and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving. Remove any garlic skins. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.Serve pork spooned over mashed potato with plenty of braising liquid. I like to serve it with a dollop of hot English mustard and steamed greens.

    FOOD: Corrie has a recipe: Harissa and lemon roasted chicken thighs      
    RECIPE:
    This is such a simple recipe that I confess I have been making it for years and never thought I’d put it in one of my books.
    It's so handy and versatile, as it can be sliced and stuffed into pitta bread or wraps and sandwiches for lunchboxes, shredded and added to salads, or used in stir-fries or rice noodle dishes. But it also pairs perfectly with steamed rice or naan in the same way tandoori chicken does. You can also marinate the chicken up to 48 hours in advance, or freeze the marinated raw chicken for use at a later date or for batch cooking.
    SERVES 4-6
    1kg boneless,
    skinless chicken thighs
    2 heaped tablespoons rose harissa
    150g Greek yogurt
    finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
    Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
     
    To serve (optional) flatbreads coriander leaves thinly sliced spring onions lemon wedges Preheat the oven to 240°C (220°C fan), Gas Mark 9. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
    Put the chicken thighs into a mixing bowl, add the other ingredients with a generous amount of salt and pepper and turn the chicken to coat well in the mixture, preferably using your hands.
    Lay the chicken thighs on the lined tray and roast for 40 minutes or until sticky and charred around the edges and cooked through.
    To serve, slice the chicken and serve in warmed flatbreads with Greek yogurt, coriander leaves, sliced spring onions and alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over.

    FOOD: Extra Puffy Brazilian Cheese Puffs
    200g cheddar cheese, or a mixture of cheddar
    and parmesan
    200g milk of choice
    100g olive oil or melted butter
    1 tsp fine sea salt
    300g tapioca starch, or arrowroot
    3 large eggs
    Extra olive oil or butter for greasing tins, or paper muffin cups
    Instructions
    Thermomix method
    1.  Cut cheese into 2cm cubes and grate in Thermomix 8 sec/speed 8. Remove from bowl and set aside.
    2. Place milk, oil and salt into Thermomix bowl and heat 5 mins/90C/speed 1.
    3. Add tapioca starch and mix to combine, 20 sec/speed 6.
    4. Allow to cool for 20 mins or so.
    5.  Add eggs and cheese and mix 20sec/speed 6.
    6. Place mixture into a large bowl and set in the fridge or freezer to completely cool and become firm (at least 30 mins in freezer, or 1 hour in fridge – can be left a day or two in fridge in a sealed
    container).
    7. Meanwhile, prepare a 12 hole muffin tin by greasing with some olive oil or butter, or line muffin tin with paper liners.
    8. Preheat oven to 200C.
    9.    Scoop out cold mixture into muffin cups with a nice cream scoop or large dessert spoon, so the cups are approx 3/4 filled witha rounded top. (Mixture will be very stiff and even have a dry, crusty layer – that’s fine, the crusty bits will melt and they will cook perfectly.)
    10. Bake for 25 mins, or until golden brown and crunchy on the outside. Make sure they are firm to touch before removing from oven, so they don’t fall. To make them even crunchier on the outside, you can turn off oven, leave door a little ajar, and leave them there for another 10-15 mins.
    11. Serve hot for super crunchy outside and chewy inside!
    Conventional method:
    1.    Grate cheese and set aside.
    2. Heat together milk, oil and salt in a saucepan on the stovetop over med-high heat, just until milk is hot but not boiling.
    (Stir now and then while it heats.)
    3. Remove from heat, add tapioca starch and mix to combine. Cool mixture for 20 mins or so.
    4.    Add eggs and cheese and mix well in a food processor or blender, until quite smooth. Place into fridge or freezer so mixture is completely cold before continuing with recipe above.
    1. Keep batter in fridge for up to 3 days. Keep baked puffs in a sealed container/bag in the fridge for up to a week, or in freezer for a month or so. They’re yummy served cold but will be chewy, not crunchy on the outside. Leftover puffs can be halved, turned upside down, and heated in hot grill to bring back the crunch!

    https://www.facebook.com/reel/401711212501442
    Thai green curry with broccoli & chickpeas
    PREP TIME 10 minutes COOK TIME 25 minutes SERVES 4
    I created this recipe because I wanted it to stand out from other vegetarian curries and, boy, it definitely does that. Spice, creaminess, zing and freshness all in one. Love it.
    What you'll need
    3 tablespoons sesame seeds
    3 tablespoons salted peanuts
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 onion, diced
    4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    2.5 cm piece of ginger, grated
    190 g green curry paste
    400 ml can coconut milk
    1 tablespoon fish sauce
    2 teaspoons brown sugar
    2 heads of broccoli, chopped into florets (approximately 3 cups)
    1 large zucchini, cut into rounds
    400 g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained zest and juice of 1 lime
    TO SERVE
    1 handful of coriander leaves
    1 handful of Thai basil leaves
    60 g (½ cup) finely sliced spring onion finely sliced green chilli
    Spiced Coconut Rice (page 226) or steamed rice lime wedges
    Combine the sesame seeds and peanuts in a large frying pan over medium heat. Toast until they turn golden brown and release their fragrance. Remove and set aside.
    Heat the olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
    Add the sesame seeds and peanuts. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute to release its flavours.
    Add the coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar.
    Stir well and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
    Time for some greens. Add the broccoli and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Tip in the chickpeas and cook, stirring, until they are heated through.
    Squeeze on the lime juice, sprinkle on the lime zest and stir well.
    The finishing touches. Scatter the coriander leaves, Thai basil leaves, spring onion and chilli over the green curry and serve with the coconut rice and lime wedges for squeezing over.

    BOOK: Long Island by Colm Toibin
    SCREEN: D/Artagnan
    FOOD - Slow-roasted lamb
    1,6-2.2 kg bone-in lamb shoulder'
    1 brown onion, unpeeled, cut into
    6 wedges
    2 cups (500 ml) water
    MARINADE
    2½ tsp finely chopped fresh
    rosemary leaves
    1 tbsp dried oregano
    2 garlic cloves* (big!), finely
    minced
    1 tsp cooking salt*
    ½ tsp black pepper
    ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil (Cobram Estate)
    LAMB JUS
    1 tsp cornflour
    14 cup (60 ml) water
    ¼ tsp cooking salt*
    Marinate lamb - Mix the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the lamb, getting it right into all the cracks and crevices! If time permits, marinate for 2 hours on the counter in a roasting tin, or up to 24 hours in the fridge. (I skip this more often than not!)
    Preheat the oven to 230°C (210°C fan-forced).
    Roast lamb over high heat - Place the onion in the roasting tin under the lamb. Pour the water into the tin. Roast, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
    Slow-roast lamb' - Turn the oven down to 100°C (conventional and fan-forced). Cover the lamb with baking paper, then a double layer of foil and seal very tightly to avoid water evaporation. Roast for 12 hours (I do this overnight). Test the side of the lamb with two forks to ensure the meat is fall-apart tender. If not, cover and return to the oven, checking every 15 minutes.
    Rest - Transfer the lamb to a large dish (reserve the liquid in the roasting tin). Cover loosely with foil and rest for at least 10 minutes before serving (it will stay warm for 2-3 hours).
    Lamb jus - Strain all the liquid in the roasting tin into a medium saucepan (there should be around 3-4 cups/750 ml-1 litre). Bring to the boil, then simmer rapidly on medium-high until it reduces down to 1 cup (250 ml). Mix the cornflour and water together, then pour this in slowly in a thin stream while stirring continuously. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring every now and then, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. Add salt to taste and transfer to a gravy jug.
    Serve - Use tongs for tearing the meat off the bone - no knife for carving needed!
    Serve with the jus, a side of Garlic Roast Potatoes (page 339) and steamed vegetables tossed with Mediterranean Dressing (page 333). For dessert, I see Apple Crumble (page 301) on your table!
    NOTES
    1.      If your shoulder is much smaller, reduce the roasting time - start checking at the 10 hour mark. Don't fret about overcooking - shoulder is a well-marbled cut of meat and the low oven temperature is extremely forgiving.
    2.      Substitute with 1¼ tsp finely chopped dried rosemary.
    3.      I do the lamb shoulder overnight. With the low oven temperature and all the liquid in the pan (you end up with about 3-4 cups once finished!), I am not concerned about any burning while sleeping with the oven on.
    4.      Make ahead: Cook the lamb as per the recipe. Cover loosely with foil and let it cool completely to room temperature, around 4 hours. Refrigerate until required.
    Remove from the fridge 2 hours prior, then reheat, covered with foil, in a 150°C oven (conventional and fan-forced) for 1 hour. Or microwave, if it's an emergency (it happens.).

    FOOD: Corrie has a recipe:     Marcus’s Amazing Paella:
    Paella for the Travellers Golfers (easily fed 8 hungry golfers)
    1kg of Arborio rice
    2lt chicken stock
    500ml fish stock
    3 tbs smoked paprika
    Good squeeze of Harissa paste (to taste)
    Pinch of saffron threads (steep in 100mls of hot water)
    10 Artichoke hearts – halved
    2 red peppers blackened – deseeded and cut into strips
    4 cloves garlic – crushed
    4 onions – diced
    1 Atlantic salmon fillet (large)- cubed
    12 large green prawns - peeled
    12 Calamari rings
    12 mussels
    4 chicken thighs – cubed
    2 chorizo sausages – 1cm diced
    500g frozen peas
    Lots of EVO

    Method
    1.       Cover the paella pan with a thin film of EVO
    2.       Brown chicken pieces and set aside
    3.       Add some more EVO add garlic and onions, lightly brown
    4.       Add more EVO, enough to ensure that all the rice will get coated.
    5.       Add rice and stir to coat completely with oil
    6.       Add chicken and fish stock
    7.       Add smoked paprika, saffron and harissa paste (add to taste as is can be a bit fiery). Stir to combine
    8.       Return chicken to pan
    9.       From here on its all about presentation
    10.  Add and arrange chorizo, artichoke hearts, red peppers, salmon, prawns and frozen peas.
    11.  Leave to bubble until all the liquid has been absorbed into the rice, this usually takes around 17 minutes. The longer you cook the paella the better the Socarrat (crispy caramelised bottom) will be. Don’t cook so long that you dry out the paella.
    12.  Add mussels towards the end of the cook as they only need a few minutes.
    Notes:
    1.       Use the best quality arborio rice you can find
    2.       If you are not close to a fish monger the local IGA usually has great seafood. I have found the 500g bags of Boston Bay mussels blanched and ready to eat from Port Lincoln great for paella on the Road.
    3.       If you are not feeding 8 golfers as per this recipe, just use 80g of rice per person (as a guide), measure the rice in a measuring cup and then double the volume of stock to rice.
    4.       Paella pans come in numerous sizes: I use a 50cm pan for a paella using 1kg of rice to feed 8 people.
    5.       If you are using a large pan you will need a paella or BBQ gas ring burner to achieve a good coverage on the base of the pan. They are available at Chef’s Hat in South Melbourne, specialist BBQ stores and Spanish grocers.
