Four delicious recipes perfect for taking on a picnic this spring....

Healthy Recipes Topics

Green Tomato and Mussel Pasta

Heirloom tomatoes range in variety from apple to deep green, stripped and speckled. These varieties are green even when they are ripe. They have a fresh flavour with a subtle floral sweetness. Look for ones that have smooth and firm skin. With green heirloom tomatoes paired with green-lipped mussels, basil, rocket and spinach pasta, this meal is a real green feast.

Indo-Chinese Chicken

Chilli chicken works well on its own as a snack, but we also serve it with hakka noodles and chillies in vinegar for a main.

Mulled Pears & Blue Cheese Salad

If you’re searching for a unique and delightful salad recipe that combines contrasting flavours and textures, look no further than this Mulled Pears & Blue Cheese Salad.

Charred Cabbage Steaks with Tamarind, Chilli & Ginger

These chargrilled red cabbage steaks taste as vibrant as they look, served with slices of a tamarind, chilli & ginger infused butter.

Smoky Black Garlic Chicken & Black Rice Tray Bake

Bulbs of fresh garlic that have been cooked (and cured) at very low temperature for up to a month are called ‘black garlic’. These soft, deep black cloves have no resemblance in flavour to raw garlic, but taste like a mixture of balsamic vinegar, miso and molasses. It’s a flavour that pairs beautifully with chicken and porcini mushroom in this super easy to make tray bake dish.

Prawn-Stuffed Zucchini Flowers with Saffron Mayonnaise

Bright yellow zucchini flowers or blossoms add a vibrant pop of colour to a table. Stuffed with prawns coated in garlic, lemon and curry powder, then battered and fried, these stuffed zucchini flowers couldn’t be more delicious.

Cheese & Broken Pasta Bake with Salami & Caper Crumb

We all have that section in our pantry where the almost empty packets of dried pasta live. This recipe embraces different-shaped dried pasta and all the leftovers from a cheese and charcuterie board to make a scrumptious meal.

Cheesy Beef Brisket & Pickled Pepper Pies

Who doesn’t love a cheesy beef brisket pie? A great option to make ahead of time and freeze for an easy dinner in future, you can use any slow braising beef for this versatile recipe – it’s a great way to use cheaper cuts of meat.

Turkish Style Yoghurt Soup with Lamb Manti

This traditional Turkish soup is made primarily with yogurt and paired with manti, or dumplings, filled with lamb spiced with sumac, garlic and mint. This is a lovely simple dish that’s perfect for a cold evening.

Louisiana Super Green Gumbo with Chicken

The official state cuisine of Louisiana, Gumbo traditionally consists of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, and the Creole “holy trinity” ― celery, capsicum, and onion.

Pasta with Lemon, Garlic & Parmesan

Embrace the simple and divine flavours of Italy with this lemon, garlic and parmesan pasta. With garlic simmered in white wine and lemon juice, this dish has all the best flavours.

Zucchini & Anchovy Salad

This salad is perfect to serve as a starter with buffalo mozzarella, olives and bread. Serve with a sprinkling of parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.

Ginger & Passionfruit Cheesecake with Buttermilk Panna Cotta

The sharp tanginess of passionfruit perfectly cuts through the decadent creaminess of this dessert, while the ginger biscuit base adds a nice layer of warming spice.

Gluten Free Chocolate Biscuits with Passionfruit Curd

One of the most versatile and delicious of fruits, passionfruit can be made into coulis and jam, or added to sauces, salads and yoghurt – and is heavenly inside a sweet treat like these gluten free chocolate biscuits.

Persian Chicken & Chickpea Soup with Crispy Onions

Enjoy the classic Persian flavours of ‘Fesenjan’ pomegranate braised chicken together with chickpeas and crispy onions in this flavour-packed soup – the perfect warming dish on a cold winter evening.

Gluten Free Coconut Macarons With Orange & Lemon Zest

Chewy on the inside with the perfect golden toasted crunch on the outside, these coconut macrons make a lovely little treat with a coffee or tea.

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes with Peaches, Banana and Honey

Made with buckwheat flour and sunflower oil, these gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are a healthier take on traditional pancakes, but just as delicious. Serve with peaches, banana and honey.

Indian Spiced Lamb Rump Burger with Naan

These succulent Indian Spiced Lamb Rump Burgers with Naan are a great week-night dinner option. Using Silver Fern Farms PURE 99% Lamb Burgers with Rump and naan instead of a burger bun, these put a spin on a traditional burger and are fun to eat.

Piri Piri Chicken with Barbecue Sweet Potatoes & Green Olive Jalapeño Salsa

Grilled Oysters with Chorizo & Sherry Vinegar Butter

Exceptionally nutritious, completely sustainable and the ultimate delicacy for shellfish lovers, oysters are one of the ocean’s true treasures. This delicious garnish of chorizo and garlic, sherry vinegar butter, chilli flakes and a drizzle of lemon is a rich, bright complement to the oysters as they sing of the sea.

Gin & Pepper Berry Glazed Side of Trout

Brushed with a smokey gin and pepper berry glaze, this sticky and golden trout is perfect for entertaining guests. Serve with a pangrattato and radicchio salad and baby lemon balm.

Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Rosé Wine & Quince Paste

Marinaded in quince, sumac, mustard and vinegar before being slow-roasted in a pan with rosé and bay leaves, this succulent and flavourful lamb shoulder is sure to be a family favourite.

Ottolenghi’s Pappardelle with Rose Harissa, Black Olives and Capers

Pappare means ‘to gobble up’, in Italian, which is the destiny of this dish. It’s a lovely spicy dish, but the quantity of harissa can easily be reduced. Make the sauce 3 days ahead if you like and keep in the fridge until needed.

Ottolenghi’s Braised Eggs with Leek and Za’atar

This is a quick way to get a very comforting meal on the table in a wonderfully short amount of time. It’s a dish as happily eaten for brunch, with coffee, as it is for a light supper with some crusty white bread and a glass of wine. The leeks and spinach can be made up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge, ready for the eggs to be cracked in and braised.
