    CHERRY CLAFOUTIS- somewhere between a fruity flan CHERRY CLAFOUTIS- somewhere between a fruity flan & a thick pancake, this classic French dessert is my favourite thing to make as soon as cherries are in season. These juicy little imperfect cherries are now available to add to your next @farmerspickau delivery; they didn’t meet the strict beauty standards of the big supermarkets, but they’re wonderfully sweet and their blemishes completely unnoticeable in a dessert like this! Add a 2kg box of cherries to your next delivery for only $25- you can click the link in my bio and get 15% off your first order with my code ‘THERESE15’. RECIPE: Serves 6 - 30g butter - 2-3 cups cherries- stemmed & pitted - 250ml whole milk - 50ml cream - 80g all-purpose flour - 80g caster sugar + 1 tbsp for sprinkling - 1/4 tsp salt - 3 eggs - 1 tsp almond extract (or sub for vanilla extract) - 1 tbsp flaked almonds To serve: - Icing sugar - Vanilla ice cream Preheat the oven to 190*C. Butter a 30cm skillet or baking dish; then add in the cherries. In a blender, add the milk, cream, flour, 80g sugar, salt, eggs & almond extract. Blend at high speed until frothy & smooth. Pour the batter over the cherries, then place the skillet on a middle-rack in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the surface with the flaked almonds and the remaining 1 tbsp caster sugar, and bake for a further 15-20 minutes; until the edges are puffed and golden, but the centre is still slightly jiggly. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly, then serve warm with a dusting of icing sugar & vanilla ice cream
    Chilli Crisp Gnocchi; spicy, crunchy & deliciously Chilli Crisp Gnocchi; spicy, crunchy & deliciously aromatic; homemade chilli crisp is actually super easy and tastes a hundred times better than the jarred stuff! Once you’ve tried your hand at it; you’ll never go back. Drizzle it over eggs, dumplings, or use it to pan-fry gnocchi to golden crispy perfection. You’ll need a neutral tasting oil as your base; for this I’ve used @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil- with a delicate, neutral flavour, it’s the perfect base for infusing with flavours to create home-made flavoured oils. And unlike Vegetable & Canola Oils, @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil is extracted without any chemical solvents. RECIPE: * 250ml @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil * 1 shallot (French onion), thinly sliced * 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced * 2 tsp Sichuan peppercorns * 2 star anise * 1 cinnamon stick * 2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean Chilli Flakes) * 1 tbsp red chilli flakes * 30g chopped roasted peanuts * 2 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds * 1 tsp caster sugar * 1 tbsp soy sauce Add the oil to a small pot with the sliced shallots & garlic cloves. Heat on low and cook for 15 minutes, or until the garlic & shallots are golden and crispy. In the meantime, in a large heat-proof bowl, mix the Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon sticks, gochugaru, chilli flakes, peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar & soy sauce. Strain the garlic & shallots, and set aside to let them crisp up. Pour the hot oil over the bowl containing the chilli mixture, let it bubble away and stir until everything is mixed. Let it infuse & come to room temperature before adding the crispy garlic & shallots back in (this helps them stay crispy!). Transfer everything to a sterilised jar, and refrigerate for up to 3 months. Recipe for gnocchi continued in comments…
    Crispy Seaweed Chips topped with Tuna Tartare; thi Crispy Seaweed Chips topped with Tuna Tartare; this easy & impressive starter is super simple to make and addictively tasty; it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! I’ve deep-fried these crispy nori chips in @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil for a lighter taste that doesn’t leave a greasy aftertaste. Grapeseed Oil has a high smoke point and neutral flavour; making it perfect for high-heat frying. And unlike Vegetable & Canola Oils, @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil is extracted without any chemical solvents. RECIPE- Makes 12 Chips For the Seaweed Chips: - 3 nori sheets - 3 rice paper sheets - 1 cup @uvoilaaustralia Grapeseed Oil For the Tuna Tartare: - 1 garlic clove- minced - 1 tsp freshly minced ginger - 2 tsp soy sauce - 1/4 tsp black / Chinkiang vinegar - 1 tsp sesame oil - 1 tsp lime juice - 2 tsp honey - 250g tuna sashimi- cut into a 1.5cm dice - 1 tsp black sesame seeds - 1 tsp white sesame seeds - 1/4 tsp shichimi togarashi (Japanese chilli powder) Lay a seaweed sheet on a clean surface- shiny side down. Dip the rice paper into a bowl of warm water until it’s soft but not soggy. Place the rice paper on the nori sheet and press down until it sticks. Transfer to a drying rack- you can use a blow dryer to dry the sheets faster, or put into the oven at 100*C for 10 minutes. In the meantime, combine all of the dressing ingredients for the tuna tartare together in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Dice the tuna sashimi into a 1.5cm dice, then pour over the dressing. Add the sesame seeds & chilli powder, and set aside. Once completely dried, cut the nori sheets into squares. Add the grape-seed oil to a pan over medium heat. Fry the crisps rice paper side down until they are crispy- about 15 seconds. Place them on a cooling rack to cool, then top each chip with about 2 spoonfuls of the tuna tartare. Transfer to a serving platter and serve while they’re crispy

In a second bowl, add the oats, flour, almonds, sugar, baking powder & salt. Whisk to evenly combine, then add the cubed butter.

Dice the chicken thighs into 3cm cubes. Heat the oil in your skillet over medium heat, add the onions and fry for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic & ginger, fry for a further minute, then add the chicken and stir until evenly browned. Add the remaining ingredients except for the curry roux, then add water if needed to ensure all the ingredients are submerged and simmer on low for 10 minutes.

Reserve 1/3 cup of starchy cooking water Slice any thick skin off the Guanciale, then slice into 1cm cubes. In the baby dutch oven over medium heat, add the Guanciale (no need to add any oil) and fry until crispy. Remove the Guanciale with a slotted spoon and set aside, and turn off the heat for now. Add the eggs to a clean bowl and beat until smooth. Stir in the pecorino and cracked black pepper, then add the reserved starchy cooking water and quickly whisk until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Return the pan with the reserved Guanciale fat to low heat, add in the drained rice cakes and give it a toss. Let it fry for 3 minutes, then take the pan off heat. Pour in the egg mixture and very quickly & continuously mix until the sauce starts to thicken and emulsify. If the sauce is too runny, return the pan to the lowest heat and cook, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and creamy. Top with the crispy Guanciale, create a little well in the centre for the last egg yolk, and serve immediately

Add the chicken thighs, and leave to marinade for at least 1 hour Wash the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water for at least an hour, then drain well. Heat the coconut oil in the shallow casserole on medium high heat. Shake any excess marinade off the chicken and cook the chicken on both sides- about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest. Add the garlic, ginger, onion & capsicum, season with salt & pepper and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Add in the rice and stir to coat, then add the coconut milk, chicken broth, curry powder and turmeric. Gently combine and bring to a simmer, then place the chicken on top and scatter over with the cashews. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Leave undisturbed for 20 minutes (don’t be tempted to peek!), then check that the liquid has absorbed. Top with chopped coriander and spring onions, squeeze over with lime juice and serve.
