Sandwiches/Wraps/Tacos
Mexican-Style Pork Mince Wraps
In 1993 I went on a foodies’ trip to Oaxaca in southern Mexico. The food was a total revelation, and not a single meal resembled anything I had thought Mexican food might be. It was the spices, chillies and herbs that really surprised me, and whenever I visit the United States now, I try to get to a good Mexican restaurant to taste those flavours again.
This recipe is a take on Mexican burritos, for true Mexican spices are...
Pepes Ayam
There's something special about food that has been wrapped and cooked in little parcels - the aroma released when the parcels are opened gets me salivating very time. You can cut the wrappers from banana leaves, corn husks or baking paper and assemble the parcels up to 24 hours before required. Store in the fridge. Pepes ayam makes a great addition to a buffet.
Shallots and Steak Sandwich
A wonderful steak sandwich is probably the thinking foodie’s hamburger. These sandwiches are a real treat for friends and family as the beef is roasted ahead, kept warm, sliced thinly and served with candied braised shallots, a light red wine sauce and watercress on crusty sourdough. Yum!
Vincotto is a rich, sweet fruit vinegar made with grapes from Lecce in Italy.
Soft Chilli Chicken Tacos
The theme is "Mexican Fiesta", with lots of small dishes of condiments to complement our soft, spicy chicken taco's.
