CELEBRATING NZ ROAST DAY

To celebrate NZ roast day, we invited guests and cooked a trio of roast meats (all loosely based on recipes from Dish No. 43), roast vegetables and then to finish some roast fruits for dessert. Lots of food and fun was had by all.

Pears sprinkled with vanilla pods & seeds, roasted in maple syrup.

Roasted pineapple

Leg of lamb with crust of almonds, pistachios & smoked paprika.

Moroccan Roast Chicken

Rolled Roast Pork

LOVING LITTLE AND FRIDAY RECIPES

SAVOURY BRIOCHE

Filled with bacon, feta, sundried tomatoes & pesto.

CHICKEN AND LEEK PIE

Pastry lattice takes time but looks good.

Serve with sauted portabello mushrooms & kumara patties.

DELICIOUS DONUTS

Dough sitting to get dry crust on outside

Don't leave them too long sitting because they keep rising.  Getting the oil to the right temperature took a little practice.

Dunk in sugar and cinnamon straight away

Filled with pureed black doris plums and custard with a little whipped cream folded into it

Instead of cinnamon and sugar, coat generously in icing sugar.
