Strawberry And Rhubarb Crumble

Ep60 S1 Strawberry and Rhubarb Crumble.jpg

Strawberry And Rhubarb Crumble

Ingredient

Crumble Base
1 bunch rhubarb, cut into 3cm pieces
500g strawberries, hulled
2/3 cup caster sugar
¼ cup currants
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds removed
Zest of 1 orange
Mascarpone cream, to serve
Finely grated orange zest, to serve

Crumble Topping
100g plain flour
50g rolled oats
75 brown sugar
30g almond meal
75g unsalted butter, diced
2 tsp cinnamon powder
¼ cup pistachios
2 tsp salt flakes

Method

Preheat your oven to 190°C fan-forced.

In a large saucepan that can be transferred to the oven, throw in the rhubarb, strawberries, caster sugar, currants, vanilla bean and orange zest.

Place over a medium heat for around 7 minutes. You want the sugar to dissolve, come to the boil and cook the strawberries and rhubarb. The mix is ready when the can push the rhubarb and it collapses.

While the base is doing its thing on the stove, you want to get onto the crumble. It’s as simple as throwing everything into a large mixing bowl and then with your fingertips, massaging the butter through the flour and oats until it looks like wet sand.

Spoon the crumble mixture over the base and place into the oven for 10 minutes or until the topping starts to brown. If the topping isn’t browning, put it under the grill.

Sprinkle the top with a little more orange zest and serve with mascarpone cream.

Remove them from the flame, place in a small bowl and cover with plastic cling film for 10mins. This will steam the capsicum and make it easier to peel the skins off. After 10mins, uncover, peel the skin off and discard the core and seeds. Roughly chop the flesh.

Season with salt and pepper.

Now take the eggplant slices and drizzle with olive oil, then generously smear with harissa paste on both sides. Chargrill on the BBQ on medium heat for about 10mins on each side, they will start to become soft and tender.

Spiced Pork Shoulder With Kohlrabi and Apple Remoulade

Ep58 S3 Spiced Pork Shoulder with Kohlrabi & Apple Remoulade.jpg

Spiced Pork Shoulder With Kohlrabi and Apple Remoulade

Ingredient

1 pork shoulder - bone in

Spice Rub
15g fresh ginger
15g coriander roots and stems
15g fresh garlic
180g oyster sauce
60g soy sauce
40g fish sauce
100g honey
20g sesame oil
15g ground cumin
15g ground coriander
5g smoked paprika

Remoulade
1 kohlrabi - julienned
1 green apple - julienned
1/2 bunch parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 large celery stick - finely sliced
1 bunch chives
1/2 cup of whole egg mayo
1tbs seeded mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preheat your oven to 150 degrees.

Spice Rub:
Place the ginger, garlic and coriander stems into a bar mix and blitz up until smooth. Then, fold all of the rest of the ingredients together.

Place the pork shoulder in a deep roasting tray and rub with a decent amount of the spice rub. Pour in water so that the level comes up 2cm from the bottom of the roasting tray.

Cover the pork shoulder with a layer of baking paper, followed by two layers of foil, tightly wrapped around the top of the edge of the roasting tray.

Place in the oven at 150 degrees for 3.5 hours. When you check on the pork, you should be able to push straight through the shoulder with no resistance. The meat should fall apart. Remove the shoulder from the liquid and taste it. If it’s not really punchy and tasty, place the roasting tray over a high heat and reduce the liquid. Continue to taste the sauce as you do not want to over reduce it as it will become too salty.

Remoulade:
Start by making the dressing by mixing all of the ingredients together and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Just before you’re about to serve, mix all of the ingredients for the remoulade into a bowl and dress with the mayo dressing. Season with salt and pepper and serve next to the pork shoulder.
