Charred Cauliflower Kebabs
Who said kebabs can only be made with meat? This charred cauliflower is bursting with smoky Middle Eastern flavours. Simply marinate a whole head of cauliflower in yoghurt, harissa paste, parsley and mint stalks, cover in baking paper and allow to cook on the BBQ for 20-30 minutes. Chop the cauliflower into wedges and serve with warm flatbreads, charred onions, green chillis, harissa yoghurt and fresh lemon.
Caprese Salad
Transport yourself to the Amalfi Coast with this Italian staple dish. It’s super fresh, quick and easily put together – perfect for a hot summer’s day. When aiming to perfect a caprese salad, it is vital to use fresh ingredients: our market-fresh tomatoes and basil offer the juiciness and fresh aromas you’re after!
Simply place alternate layers of sliced fresh mozzarella (buffalo mozzarella works best) and fresh, ripe tomatoes. Top with a few freshly plucked basil leaves, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic reduction and a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
