Brads Enormous
neenish tart

Stress reliever
I have been subscribing to Super
Food Ideas for a couple of years and
use the digital version on my iPad.
Cooking is my hobby and when I was
retrenched in December, I turned to
cooking to help me through the stress.
In between the monotony of applying
for jobs and making changes to my
CV, I have been cooking different
dishes from SFI. It has been a huge
help and I just love the Cook Mode
you have incorporated into the app.
Keep up the great work SFI. Ill be
singing your praises. Thank you.

Mike Harris, via email

Top TarT
As a kid, my number one
treat was a neenish tart.
Every now and then, Mum would
surprise me with one from our local
bakery. I had forgotten about them
until the April issue, when I made
your enormous version. It was so easy.
The base turned out perfectly so soft
and crumbly. I switched raspberry
jam for strawberry (personal
preference). It was enjoyed by all and
is a new favourite to make!

Brad Edmunds, via Instagram

New subscriber
Just a quick note to say THANK
YOU to all who put in an epic effort to
produce SFI. I recently subscribed (first
subscription ever!) and I love getting
my delivery I find dozens of recipes to
make for my family of five each month!

chocolate clair

Huge success
I loved the April issue! Im planning
on making the Gigantic lamington (p13),
as well as the Golden syrup apple pie
(p34). My family will be having a very
sweet couple of weeks! I whipped up
the Jumbo chocolate clair (p15) pretty
quickly to celebrate my ninth wedding
anniversary with my husband and my
boys. They really loved it. Next time
I will add tons more fruit loading it
up with kiwi and banana slices!

Rebecca Fauske, via Facebook

I love the different recipes in


your magazine and await the arrival
of it every month to see what I can
produce for the weekly meals. My
20-year-old son has also begun to
get the feel for cooking and as soon
he saw the Golden syrup Anzac
cheesecake (p38), he was extremely
eager to bake it. I let him go free in
the kitchen and the end result was
something to be very proud of. Our
family enjoyed the cheesecake for
two days and the praise for my son
was huge. I want to thank you for
providing these wonderful recipes
to encourage the next generation
to keep cooking.

Angie Holmes, via email


Eds note: How lovely to hear that Brad,
Mike, and Angies son are all getting
into cooking. Thanks to all of you for

The latest on what the teams eating,


buying and loving this month

...Found it
Our senior designer,
Brydie, tasked her
mum, Kathy, to find
a retro-look slow
cooker to shoot for
our This Month story
(p19). Kathy hit the
Salvos and hit the
jackpot with this
gorgeous crockpot,
for just $12. It set the
scene perfectly for one
of our fave features.

. .Baked for it
Weve been cooking recipes
like this Apple and vanilla
custard tea cake (p74) for
Australias Biggest Morning
Tea events through May and
June to support the Cancer
Council. To find out how to
host your own, visit biggest
morningtea.com.au,
and look out for our
posts on Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter.

...Read it
The Australian Blue Ribbon
Cookbook, by Liz Harfull
($40, Allen & Unwin), is a
compilation of blue ribbonwinning recipes and the
stories of the cooks who made
them. With lots of historical
tidbits, its a great read as well
as a fab book to cook from!

...Tried it
It was hard to stop at one bite of Fresh
Fodders Smokey Roe Taramosalata. Pale pink
and deliciously creamy, this Greek-style
dip goes down a treat generously dolloped
on crackers or pita bread. Available from
independent grocers for $5.99.

...Sprinkled it

Do you love using


fresh herbs but
hate it when they
wilt in the crisper
drawer? Gourmet
Garden has
released a new
range of lightly
dried, roughly chopped herbs that last in
the fridge for four weeks. Just in time for
our slow-cooker special, theyre a great
way to add a fresh flavour hit to soups
and stews. Along with Aussie organically
grown basil, coriander and parsley, the
range includes ginger and chilli. $2.98
per pouch, or $6.98 for a value pack
of three varieties and a storage caddy,
available from Woolworths.

If youve always wanted a vegie or


herb garden (or even a few pots on
your windowsill) but need help, the
ABC Vegie Guide app is for you.
Lock in your location and it will give
you all the planting and growing tips
you need for your regions climate. Download it on your
iPhone or iPad for info about seasonal planting, harvest
times, best growing conditions and lots more.

As a time-saving, convenient way
to have food on the table at the end
of the day, slow cookers are hard
to beat. All you need are the right
ingredients and some handy tips.
What meat should I use?
The great thing about slow cooking
is that the tougher (and generally
cheaper!) secondary cuts of meat
work the best. This is because theyre
generally from the harder working
parts of the animal, so the meat tends
to be tougher. They benefit from
being cooked for longer and at lower
temperatures than leaner meat, as
the connective tissue breaks down
to give that deep flavour and rich
texture. The following cuts are ideal.
Lamb: shanks, neck, forequarter
chops, shoulder.
Pork: leg steaks, ribs, shoulder, loin chops.
Beef: chuck, skirt and round steak,
gravy beef, osso buco, silverside.
Chicken: bone-in cuts, or whole chicken.

How about vegetables?


A guiding rule is to make sure you cut
vegetables roughly the same size, so
they cook evenly. Remember that if you
finely chop vegies, particularly onions,
garlic and capsicum, theyll cook down
to form a sauce-like base. However,
if you want your vegies to keep their
shape and bulk, its best to cut them
into larger pieces. The denser, more
fibrous vegetables, such as celery and
root vegetables, including carrots
and potatoes, are ideal for slow cooking.

What else do I need to know?


When adding dried spices or spice
mixes, its best to cook them at the same
time as youre browning and caramelising
your ingredients. If you dont, the spices
will taste raw and not release their
wonderful full flavour and aroma.
Leave seasoning with salt and pepper
until the end of the cooking process,
to ensure the right balance of flavour.
Generally, you need less liquid when
using a slow cooker, as it doesnt reduce
through simmering. Ingredients such
as vegetables also release a lot of liquid.

WorldMags.net
Tools of the trade
These days, there are a number of
different types of slow cooker to choose
from. The SFI food team members are
all big fans of browning ingredients
before the slow cooking begins, as it
caramelises the meat and vegetables,
and releases the aroma and flavour
of spices and aromatics such as garlic
and onion, which means the resulting
flavour and colour are more intense.
The original crockpot is designed
simply to maintain a consistently low
heat, which means youll need to sear
your ingredients in a separate pan
before transferring to the slow cooker.

Other models come with a removable


sear bowl, so you can brown on the
stovetop before transferring the bowl
back to the slow cooker and adding the
remaining ingredients. Some even have
the searing mechanism built in to the
slow cooker, which means you can do
everything in one pan. Whichever style
you have, always make sure you read
the manual carefully before starting,
as different models will vary in their
recommended cooking times, setting
options and litre capacity. Remember
that you should not heat your slow
cooker before youve added your
ingredients, as the bowl might crack.

Slow cooking in the oven No
slow cooker? All you need is a
large, heavy-based flameproof
pan or casserole with tight-fitting
lid. Brown the ingredients on the
stovetop, add the remaining
ingredients, bring to the boil, then
transfer to a low (150C/130C
fan-forced) oven. You want to
simmer, not boil, so the meat
doesnt toughen. Meat will take
112 to 3 hours to cook, depending
on the size and cut of the pieces.

Tips for a perfect mash Potatoes


such as sebago or desiree are ideal,
as they will result in a light and fluffy
mash. Dont chop the potatoes too
small or overcook them, as they
will become too watery, creating a
flavourless mash. Once the potatoes
are cooked, drain them well, return
them to the pan over a low heat and
toss them for about 1 minute before
mashing. This allows any excess
moisture to evaporate from the
potatoes. Heating the milk before its
added will help to keep the mash hot
and retain its fluffy texture.

1 Heat half the oil in a large frying pan

over medium-high heat. Add beef.


Cook, turning occasionally, for
5 minutes or until browned. Transfer
to the bowl of a 5.5-litre slow cooker.
2 Heat remaining oil in pan over
medium heat. Add onion, carrot,
celery and garlic. Cook, stirring
occasionally, for 5 minutes or
until softened. Transfer to
the slow cooker.
3 Add wine, tomato, thyme,
orange rind and bay leaves
to slow cooker. Stir to
combine. Cover with lid.
Cook on low for 6 to
8 hours (or on high for
4 hours), removing the lid
halfway through cooking.
4 Remove and discard

bay leaves. Season with
salt and pepper. Serve

cauliflower

WorldMags.net

in season:

Forget the overcooked, soggy cauli of your childhood this versatile vegie
deserves its place centre stage, and we have some great recipe ideas to prove it!

Buying and storing

Uses

The head of the cauliower should be


rm and tightly packed; any soft spots
indicate that the cauliower is not at peak
freshness. If you buy a head with the green
leaves still attached, they should be bright
green without any signs of wilting. Store
cauliower in a plastic bag, stem-side
down, in the crisper section of the fridge
for up to 7 days. Once cut into orets,
cauliower deteriorates quite quickly,
so its best to use within 2 days.

Raw or cooked cauliower makes a great


addition to salads. It crisps up nicely when
roasted, which transforms its slightly harsh
raw avour into something warm, nutty
and sweet. In Lebanese cuisine, cauliower
is often fried and served with a tangy
garlic dip. Its also a popular ingredient in
Indian cooking, as it soaks up spices and
sauces so well. Today, youll nd it on
plenty of contemporary menus, sometimes
roasted whole and served as a modern
take on cauliower cheese, or used to
make pizza bases or mash in place of
potatoes perfect for those following
paleo or low-carb diets.

Recipes kim coverdale

photogRaphy andrew Young styling Fiona Sinclair Food pRepaRation heidi Flett

auliower is a member of the


brassica family, along with vegies
such as cabbage, brussels sprouts
and broccoli. While cauliower cheese is
an indulgent, old-school favourite, new
ways with cauliower have been a little
thin on the ground. Not any longer this
versatile ingredient has a fantastic texture,
which means its great for turning into
rice, a pasta sauce or a taco lling.

Apples

English spinach

Whether you eat it raw,


boiled, steamed or sauted, spinach is quick to cook
and delicious combined with a wide range of flavours.
Toss it through pasta and salads, or stir it through a curry,
stir-fry or risotto. Select bright, crisp, tender leaves that
show no sign of wilting. Keep in mind that, when cooked,
a bunch of spinach wilts to about a quarter of its bulk, so factor
that in when buying. If you buy a whole bunch, trim off the roots
and store in the crisper section of the fridge for up to 3 days.
Flavour matches: fetta, ricotta, garlic, eggs, chicken, walnuts.
Quick idea: Wash, drain and chop a bunch of English spinach leaves
and stir through penne pasta with pesto and a squeeze of lemon.

Apples come in a number of


varieties, all varying in skin colour, texture
and avour. The more common varieties are
available all year round, but apples are at their
best and most affordable from autumn through
winter. Choose apples with brightly coloured,
rm, unblemished skin. Cut and/or peeled apples
should be placed in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze
of lemon to stop them from browning. Store whole apples
in the crisper section of the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Flavour matches: pork, walnuts, fetta, cinnamon, rhubarb.
Quick idea: Pan-fry thickly sliced peeled apple in butter,
sugar and cinnamon until golden. Serve with ice-cream.

I really liked the addition of the


parsnip to this soup. It was so
easy to make and, because it made
a large amount, I was able freeze
some of it to keep on hand.

Its packed with avour rich but


light at the same time. The recipe is
going to replace my old go-to. I love
it without the cream.

Freeze the soup in single


portions for a great

WorldMags.net

Preserved lemons
Makes 1 x 1.75-litre jar
Prep 20 minutes (plus standing time)
Youll need a 1.75-litre-capacity glass
jar (see note). Start this recipe at least
5 weeks ahead
1kg (about 10) small lemons
cup sea salt
teaspoon black peppercorns
3 dried bay leaves
2 cups lemon juice (about
14 lemons, depending on size)
1 Wash lemons, scrubbing well to remove

any waxy seal. Pat dry with paper towel.


Using a small sharp knife, carefully quarter
each lemon lengthways without cutting
all the way through, leaving them
attached at the bottom (see picture,
opposite). Divide cup of the sea salt
among the lemons (about 2 teaspoons
per lemon), packing the salt inside so that
all the cut surfaces are covered.
2 Wash and dry a 1.75-litre-capacity glass
jar (see note). Arrange lemons, peppercorns
and bay leaves in jar, pressing each lemon
with a wooden spoon to pack them tightly
and to soften the lemons slightly.
3 Combine lemon juice and remaining salt
in a large jug. Pour over the lemons in the
jar, adding extra lemon juice, if needed.
Ensure lemons are covered completely.
Seal jar. Set aside in a cool, dark place
for at least 5 weeks, gently tipping the
jar from side to side every few days to
distribute the liquid evenly.
4 Once jar has been opened, store in the
fridge, then add lemon portions in quantities
specied in recipes (see box, below).
