Coriander Chilli Dipping Sauce

This dipping sauce is great with Kumera corn and smoked trout fritters.

2 small garlic cloves crushed

1 small fresh red chilli pepper, seeded and minced

2T light palm sugar

2T fresh lime juice

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup fish sauce finely cut carrot and slivers of coriander

Combine the garlic, chilli and sugar in a mortar.

Pound with a pestle to a fine paste. Add the lime juice, vinegar, fish sauce and splash of water. Stir to blend or place all ingredients in a blender and process until the sugar is dissolved. Serve with washed and dried lettuce which acts as an edible serviette

    Serves 8-10 Little Chinese tea cups are perfect for this and they hold just over 100mls. I like the subtlety of this, especially the silky just set texture of baked custard rather than rich creme brulee style.

  • Mixed Mushrooms and Noodles

    I enjoy having those little packets of  Australian made Japanese style organic (udon and soba- The Hakubaku Co.)  which can be readily sourced from supermarkets.. They are handy and take very little time to cook. The buckwheat is from Victoria but can also be found in Orange!

  • Pork Belly with Prunes

    Dad was the first person I know who added fruit to the meat of our main meal. How weird it seemed for him to add sultanas to our curry, or so I thought all those years ago. And he loved making his precious cumquat brandy each year. We're going a bit retro with this dish.

  • Beaufort Cheese

    Shavings of this delicious French cheese - a stronger version of gruyere, just has an affinity with our Cabernets. (French cheese and our Cabernet Alex ~ bliss!)

    And it's good to drink an aged Cabernet in winter, all those wonderful savoury cedary and cigar box smells, (Dad used to smoke his beloved cigars so our family is very acquainted with such smells.) 

  • Upside Down Pear and Coconut Cake

    This was Alex's Birthday cake many years ago and we had fun substituting and  testing this recipe with some Asian ingredients and our then current dessert wine.
