    Chicken and Vegetable Tagine

    Chicken-and-vegetable-tagine-s-800x520

    This Moroccan dish is bursting with flavour. Traditionally cooked in a Tagine (a clay vessel with a cone shaped lid), we have made it a little easier and adapted the recipe to be cooked in a Dutch oven, (you can use a large frying pan also). A nourishing meal that is definitely worthy of cooking to impress a crowd, yet simple enough to throw together for an easy and delicious family meal. Serve on top of your choice of steamed rice, couscous or cooked quinoa.


    Time : 1.5 hours

    Serves : 6

    Ingredients :
    • 1 Kg Chicken thigh fillets, skinless and boneless
    • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
    • 800 grams Eggplant
    • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
    • 1 Cup Onions, peeled and diced
    • 3 Garlic cloves, crushed
    • 3 Cup Chicken stock, low sodium
    • 1 ½ Cinnamon sticks
    • 1 tsp Curry powder
    • 1 tsp Cumin, ground

    • 1 med Zucchini
    • 1 Carrot
    • ½ Red capsicum
    • 3 med Tomatoes
    • 1/2 Cup Raisins
    • 1 Tbsp Parsley
    Method :
    1. Cut unpeeled eggplant into 1″ cubes, sprinkle generously with salt and lay out on wire rack for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse.
    2. Meanwhile cut chicken into large cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in 6 – 8 litre Dutch oven and sauté the chicken until opaque on both sides (a few minutes). Set aside.
    3. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat again in the Dutch oven, (no need to clean it, keep any chicken juices in there).
    4. Add onion, garlic, and eggplant. Sauté over low heat until onion is just tender, 5-10 minutes.
    5. Add stock, cinnamon, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
    6. Peel turnip and dice the turnip, along with dicing the zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper.
    7. Add the chicken and diced vegetables to Dutch oven.
    8. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
    9. Dice the tomatoes and add them to the pan along with the raisins, and parsley, pushing down lightly to be sure ingredients are covered by liquid, (adding a more liquid if necessary). Simmer covered for 15 minutes more.

    Simple ways to combat food waste at home

    Food waste is a major contributing factor to rising carbon emissions. 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted in Australia every year, and Australian households account for a majority of this.

    Here’s a few staggering stats:

    • Food waste costs the economy around $36.6 billion or $2,000 to $2,500 per household per year.
    • 70% of the 7.6 million tonnes of food wasted in Australia every year is edible.
    • Australian households throw away around one in five bags of groceries, equal to around 312kg per person.
    • Global food waste is responsible for approximately 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions
    • Almost half of all fruit and vegetables produced are wasted.
    • Reducing food waste is the 3rd most effective way to address climate change.
    • There is enough food produced in the world to feed everyone.
    • 1 in 6 adults go hungry regularly in Australia

    Is food waste something you’re trying to be more conscious of at home? There are a few quick and easy things you can do to do your bit to combat food waste.

    1. Meal Plan

    By planning your meals ahead of time, you can be sure to only buy what you need so nothing goes to waste. Make a list of recipes you plan on making for the week, and plan your grocery shop ahead of time so you know exactly what you need to buy and how much. Not only will this save unessecary waste, but it will also help your wallet!

    2. Store Food Properly

    The most commonly wasted household food is fresh fruit and vegetables. Fresh fruit and vegetables can perish quickly if not stored correctly, so it’s important to learn how to properly store your food to help it last longer and save it from the bin! Here is a guide from Sustainability Victoria for the best ways to store fruit and vegetables. Simple things like wrapping herbs in a wet towel before refrigerating, knowing what to store on a counter or in the fridge can be helpful to save your fresh fruit and vegetables.

    Food Waste

    3. Use it up

    So you’ve stored your fruit and vegetables correctly, but they’re inevitably reaching the end of their life in the fridge or counter. Be proactive with the stock of fruit and vegetable on hand, and plan a meal to use up these items, or find a way to use them in your meal plans. This could mean extending the life of your fruit or veg by pickling or preserving into jams or sauces, or add them to tonight’s pasta, roast or casserole.

    4. Start Home Compost

    Options for home composting are more accessible than ever, whether you live in an apartment or have more space. You could also look into composting options in your local community, these could include rubbish collection services or community gardens. Not only does composting help reduce the amount of food waste in landfill, but it will also be beneficial for your own home garden, or you could gift your compost to friends with more of a green thumb.

    Food Waste

    5. Get creative with leftovers

    Bored of your leftovers? Re-create them into something more delicious! Have a spaghetti sauce leftover? Turn it into tacos! Have some leftover roast veggies? Turn them into a delicious frittata! There are so many ways to make a creative spin on your leftovers to prolong the life of your meals and food to prevent it from going in the bin.

    Make the most of your fruit and vegetables from your local fruit and veg shop this week and every week and make a mindful effort to reduce the amount of food waste in your home to help you, your wallet, your community and the planet.

    If you’re looking for inspiration for your meals this week, take a look through some of our recipes for more ideas to meal plan or use up your fruit and veg!

    Julie Goodwin’s Roast Pumpkin, Spinach & Ricotta Pie

    Julie Goodwin’s Roast Pumpkin, Spinach & Ricotta Pie

    This delicious dish is at home on the dinner table or served at room temperature for a picnic.  There is no fiddly pastry – it creates its own delicate golden crust as it bakes. Vary it with parmesan grated over the top or fresh herbs stirred through the egg mixture before baking.


    Preparation time : 15 minutes

    Cook time: 1hr 10 mins

    Serves : 6

    Ingredients :
    • Half a large butternut pumpkin (750g) cut into a 2cm dice
    • 2/3 cup light olive oil (or vegetable oil)
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 2 brown onions, sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 100g baby spinach
    • 6 eggs
    • 1 cup self-raising flour
    • 1 cup grated tasty cheese
    • 250g tub ricotta
    Method :
    1. Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced.)  Grease and flour a 24cm spring-form cake tin.
    2. Toss the pumpkin cubes with oil, nutmeg, salt and pepper and roast in a baking tray for 30 minutes or until soft and golden brown.
    3. In a frypan over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil
    4. Take the pan off the heat and using tongs, toss the spinach through.  The spinach will wilt a little.
    5. In a bowl, beat the 6 eggs.  Add the remaining olive oil and mix well.  Add flour and whisk until there are no lumps.  Stir through the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
    6. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and lower the temperature to 180C (160C fan forced).  Toss the pumpkin through the onion-spinach mixture.  The spinach will wilt further.
    7. Place half the mixture in the base of the cake tin and pour half the egg mixture over.  Shake the tin to make sure the egg sinks all around the vegetables.  Put the other half of the pumpkin on top and top with the remaining egg mixture.
    8. Dollop the ricotta over the top, using a spoon burrow down a little so that there is some ricotta nestled inside the pie as well.
    9. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and firm in the middle.

    ulie Goodwin’s Crunchy Wombok, Beef and Noodle Salad

    If you’ve ever walked past the wombok and not known what to do with it, here’s a riff on the beloved cabbage and noodle salad that turns it into a main meal!


    Preparation time : 25 minutes

    Serves : 4

    Ingredients :

    DRESSING

    • ½ cup white sugar
    • ½ cup white vinegar
    • 1/3 cup fish sauce
    • 1 clove garlic, chopped
    • 1 small red chilli, sliced

    SALAD

    • ¼ Wombok (Chinese cabbage)
    • 4 spring onions
    • 1 carrot
    • 1 Lebanese cucumber
    • 1/3 bunch mint
    • 1/3 bunch coriander
    • 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
    • 500g rump steak
    • 100g packet of Chang’s crunchy fried noodles
    Method :
    1. Heat the chef pan over high heat.
    2. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and vinegar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and boil for five minutes or until slightly thickened.  While cooking, place the garlic and chilli in the mini food processor and blitz until finely chopped.  Remove the dressing from the heat and add the fish sauce.  Allow to cool for a few minutes then add the garlic and chilli.  Set aside.
    3. Place the oil in the pan.  Season the steak with salt and cook for 2 minutes on each side (or longer, if the steak is thick or you like it more done.)  Remove from the pan and set aside under foil to rest.
    4. While the meat cooks, get on with the vegetables. Slice the Wombok thinly with a knife.  Peel and chop the spring onions. Use the mandolin to slice the cucumber and carrot.  Place all of these in the large bowl. Pick the leaves from the mint and coriander and add to the bowl.
    5. Slice the rump steak and add it to the salad bowl along with the noodles. Pour over the dressing, toss through, and serve straight away.

      Note: Make it ahead. This salad is lovely cold as well.

    Christmas Mini Pavlovas

    Christmas mini pavs

    It isn’t Christmas in Australia without a pavlova (don’t argue with us on that, Kiwis!). This airy dessert is made of a meringue shell that is topped with cream and fresh fruit, and these mini individual pavlovas are the perfect centrepiece for the table! You can store them in a sealed container as they can keep for a day or two, which means you can make the bases ahead of time and do the final assembly before serving them to your guests.


    Preparation time : 20 minutes

    Serves : 10

    Ingredients :
    • 2 egg whites
    • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
    • 300ml thickened cream, whipped
    • Berries of your choice
    • Figs
    • Mint for decoration
    Method :
    1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place egg whites into a clean bowl. Beat with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Gradually add caster sugar, beating well between each addition. Beat until mixture is thick and glossy – this will take at least 5 minutes.
    2. Spoon heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays. Flatten meringue into a disc. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crisp. Cool completely in the oven with the door ajar.
    3. Add your choice of toppings before serving immediately. We used whipped cream, season-fresh berries and figs!

    Makes 20 individual pavlovas.
