What's On The Table

[Airgead]

Mate could you please share the Peppered Kanga Recipe?

cheers

No problem

Peppered Kanga-

1 pkt skippy fillets from coles
2 teaspoons peppercorns
1 tablespoon dried basil
pinch or 2 of rock salt

Grind peppercorns basil and sald in a mortar and pestle till they are a coarse grind.
Put spice mix on a plate and roll the skippy fillets in it until well covered
Get a frying pan really hot
A dribble of high temp oil (I like maccadamia oil for this)
Fry the fillets quickly till rare (meduim rare if you must but well done will be leather)
Remove from pan and lat rest for 5 mins then slice into 5mm (or thereabouts) slices.
Serve on top of the gnocci (see below)

Tomato and Kale Gnocci

1 tin tomato puree (or home made if you are that way inclined)
1 large onion
garlic
salt
pepper
1 bunch kale or spinach

Wash and chop the kale.
Fry the onion & garlic in a little oil until translucent.
Add the tomato and cook until you have a thick pan of tomatoey goodness.
Salt & pepper to taste.
Add the kale and allow to wilt into the sauce.
While that is going on cook the gnocci as per the directions.
Drain gnocci and toss it with the sauce to coat.

Cheers
Dave

Anyone who watches Masterchef will be familiar with these two recipes... It's the wife and I's 12th anniversary today, and we really couldn't afford to go anywhere swish, so she asked me to knock up something and do the candlelit thing at home..









First up was a scallop tartlet thingy with caramelised onions cooked in an orange sauce with star anise, cinnamon and garlic.. Then we had this layered cake for dessert which was a real PITA to make. Ten ultra thin crepes with lemon curd and cream layered in between, topped off with a jelly made of orange juice and passionfruit... As you can see, my jelly on the top isn't very flash... I added the gelatine and put it in the freezer and then forgot about it while I was.. err.. getting my anniversary present .. Only just caught to be able to spread it at all.. Doesn't look the best, but tasted awesome..

Apologies for crap phonecam pics

Oooooh, some bloody loverly meals and pics shared here.

'Fraid I have nothing but a meal-story with no photos.

Tonight was my first try of pigeon (which I've been meaning to gulp down for quite a while now).

One flew into my chicken run (buggered if I know how though) - it's mistake.
So I caught, killed and prepared the breasts, liver and heart.
Just a bit of ollo and some onions and shallots.
Nice and rare.

I was surprised, I was expecting extreme game-iness.
But it was without a doubt the tastiest meat I've tried.
Far outstripped (supposedly quality) french duck.

Can't recommend this enough (for people in the country, wouldn't eat a city pigeon if you paid me).

Topped it off with a handful of chocolate coated coffee beans and mini-samosas.
And mate, I'm sweeeeeet. ^_^

I'll report back. cant remember off the top of my head.
the other thing we made this weekend was ling fillets (fish), asparagus and miso stir fry. damn that was nice. no pics though

 

[Henno]

Some of the fish we freeze end up a bit too strong when defrosted and are too fishy for my liking. Missus has this great miso stir fry that makes em come up a treat.

the capcicum sauce is also really nice.

yeah i'll post it up. to be honest they were ok. they needed some seasoning or dipping sauce. but still nice. it was a toss up between the spring rolls and the cheese balls as which one was the best. the spring rolls are very mourish., ill post the recipe for those too.
