Dish içinde Issue 79 August/September 2018 için içindekiler tablosu

Having edited a number of magazines both here and overseas, I’m delighted to be at the helm of such a beloved title as Dish. With so many dedicated readers – many of whom have bought every issue since it started – and a digital and social audience that is already reaching phenomenal figures and growing daily, it’s a real honour. Winter is the perfect time to hunker down and dedicate extra energy to cooking and eating great food. With Winter Favourites (page 46), Easy Everyday (page 70) and Worth the Wait (page 90), Dish’s Food Editor Claire Aldous has created flavourful and nourishing dishes that are guaranteed to become regulars on your menu. Nothing says ‘winter’ like our cover recipe: a sweet, hot steamed pudding served with sticky sauce and…

TACO PAO OR TACO SIOPAO “Our sweet, savoury yet delicate beetroot bun, served with pulled pork ‘Humba’ and homemade condiments, is a great match with O:TU’s Marlborough Pinot Noir 2017 as the acidity, light tannins and earthy flavours complement the flavours well. This pairing gives harmony and full experience to the dish.” ROASTED FREE RANGE CHICKEN SINIGANG “This dish has a sweet and sour flavour and is served with a watercress purée so it’s a perfect marriage with the bold, full-bodied flavour of the O:TU Marlborough Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016. The combination will convert even a non-sauvignon blanc drinker.” nanamrepublic.co.nz / otuwine.com…

I’m a big fan of beef cheeks – the cheek is one of those cuts that has bags of flavour and is tailor-made for braising, with the fat and muscle in the meat cooking down to make the beef meltingly tender. Here, I’ve cooked them bourguignon-style, with lots of red wine, gorgeous spices, mushrooms and pancetta adding wintry richness. Yorkshire puddings are also very close to my British heart: making larger versions means they become the perfect vehicle for loading up with the beef. Beef Cheek Bourguignon with Yorkshire Puddings YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS 1 cup lightly beaten eggs (about 4 eggs)1 cup plain flour1 cup milkabout ¾ cup canola oil BEEF CHEEK BOURGUIGNON 2 kilograms beef cheeks1 cup rock saltcloves from 1 bulb garlic, peeled, smashed2 large sprigs thyme2 tablespoons black…

Undercook cauliflower keeping it firm. Drain well and dry off on paper towels to minimise the release of water during cooking. Err on the thick side for the sauce as it will thin out during cooking. Give it some oomph with mustard and freshly grated nutmeg. Use tasty cheddar in sauce and sprinkle more on top. Dust with smoked paprika for an extra golden top and layers of flavour.…

1. BAKED GNOCCHI Crafted by the obsessively sustainability-focussed team at Gladstone Vineyard deep in the heart of Wairarapa, the 12,000 Miles Gladstone Pinot Gris 2017 ($21) is a pure, peachy, mineral-driven pinot gris with a dry, succulent edge. Hints of walnut and a squeak of spice make this g-norgeous with this g-nocchi. gladstonevineyard.co.nz 2. PORK SCHNITZEL Viognier is my favourite thing to serve with anything ‘porky’, that’s why I’m recommending the Leveret Hawke’s Bay Viognier 2015 ($21). With a fresh, crunchy citrus punch and powerful jasmine and apricot-blossom perfume, it’s luxurious yet refreshing at the same time. thegoodwine.co.nz 3. BAKED FISH Try something that’ll win friends and influence people with this dish, such as the Linden Estate Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2016 ($38). Bursting with roast stonefruit, creamy almond and…

Located in the continent of Asia, Taiwan, dubbed “the Heart of Asia”, offers plenty of attractions from north to south, all in one island. An invigorating natural beauty can be found through its unique geographical structure, fascinating history, and immensely rich cultural and spiritual heritage, which all play their part in developing a culinary scene essential for the foodie’s bucket list. While wandering the many markets and street food stalls ubiquitous across the countryside will reward visitors to Taiwan with inexpensive taste sensations – including the famed “stinky tofu” – the more salubrious options of the capital of Taipei are where this island state really punches above its weight. The Michelin Guide, the world’s highest regarded restaurant handbook, awarded 20 restaurants with coveted stars in its inaugural 2018 Taipei edition.…

If food waste was a country it would be the third largest producer of carbon emissions behind China and the US. It’s hardly an appetising way to start a food column but I read this sentence on the Love Food Hate Waste website (lovefoodhatewaste.co.nz) recently and it got me thinking. Food waste is big and it is serious but it’s also something we’re starting to realise we can change on a day-to-day level ourselves – on our own chopping boards, in our lunchboxes and on our dinner tables. We know that it’s big, but we’re ready to tackle it one broccoli stalk at a time. TO EAT: Broccoli stalks and leaves Antioxidant-rich broccoli has some serious health benefits and is a menu staple in Aotearoa. But why do we whip…

Salted Caramel Sauce This sauce can be used to add an indulgent caramel kick to so many luscious winter desserts, and even transforms vanilla bean ice cream in an instant. Once cooled it stores in the fridge for up to one month. Use this recipe for whenever salted caramel is mentioned in the following recipes. 2½ cups caster sugar½ cup water1½ cups cream50 grams butter, chopped2 teaspoons sea salt Put the caster sugar and water in a clean pot over a medium heat and whisk to start dissolving the sugar. Use a small pastry brush to brush down any sugar that gets stuck to the side of the pot to stop it burning. Bring to a simmer, giving the pot a gentle swirl now and again to help it heat…

Spiced Lentil and Rice Soup with Crispy Curry Leaves (gf, v) This one blurs the lines a bit between what is and isn’t a soup – it more likely sits somewhere between a dhal and a loose risotto. But whatever you want to call it, it’s delicious, extremely comforting and has fast become a favourite dinner on chilly nights at my house. SOUP 1 tablespoon butter2 tablespoons olive oil2 onions, finely diced3 cloves garlic, finely chopped1 teaspoon each ground turmeric and cayenne pepper2 teaspoons each ground cumin and ground coriander2 cups short grain white rice2 cups split red lentils or cooked brown lentils4 litres vegetable stockzest and juice 1 limecurrants, to serve CRISPY CURRY LEAVES 1 tablespoon olive oil1 cup fresh curry leaves½ teaspoon sea salt SOUP: Melt the butter…

The ‘Sulphur City’ began drawing international visitors in the latter half of the 19th century, with visitors keen to sneak a peek at the ‘eighth’ wonder of the world, the Pink and White Terraces, in all their marbled, pink and white glory. The Terraces may have disappeared, but now the township is lauded for both its plentiful natural attractions and general Kiwi-ness, and tourism continues to reign supreme. There’s also a craft beer and culinary scene to rival the best of Wellington and expansive cultural offerings located in Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve. Consequently, Rotorua draws a diverse market now: the thrill-seekers, the geyser-goers, and young families seeking a crash course in New Zealand’s rich, indigenous past. Admittedly this hub of adventure and activity hasn’t been on my radar since the…

“Fried cauliflower may just be my current peccadillo.” Back in the day, cauliflower never saw the inside of an oven unless it was smothered in sauce. Fancy missing out on roasted cauliflower! Massage florets with extra virgin olive oil, season well with sea salt, sprinkle with lemon zest and your favourite spices, and roast on high until golden, turning the florets once or twice. Florets can also be added to a vegetable tray bake but use a shallow roasting tin and place near the edges of the tin; if they are tumbled on top of one another they will steam. Not that there’s anything wrong with steamed cauliflower. A quick steam and served with a spicy peanut sauce and sprinkle of crisp golden shallots and you have a scrumptious accompaniment…

“Merlot’s a bit of a bore on its own – it really needs friends,” moaned a winemaking friend of ours a few years back when we first decided to highlight merlot in this magazine. We felt that was a tad unfair. But what he really meant was we should open the tasting up to include all those wines where merlot was the hero, but also had tasty sidekicks in the blend. So we dusted off the good glassware, corralled a cracking team of judges and got down to the task of deciding whether merlot needed to be bolstered by its Bordeaux brothers, or was still capable of creating magic on its own. Of the 26 wines awarded silver medals or higher, 61.5 per cent contained at least 80 per cent…

URBAN SPRAWL Brendan Seal first heard of urban wineries while working as a winemaker in the US and immediately thought Dunedin would be a cracker of a location to do it himself. Making wine from Central Otago fruit, cellaring it and selling it all in the central city might seem like a logistical nightmare, but for Brendan it’s a dream come true. “Dunedin is a fantastic city, very close to my heart and full of energy and new ideas,” he says. He also loved the idea of showing people what goes on behind the scenes. “I’m in the cellar door, I’m dropping off my wines to restaurants and I’m showing people through the winery. That face-to-face relationship is of real value to both the wine drinker and the winemaker.” After…
