Put a warming, autumnal twist on your Easter feast with perfect roast pork – complete with the ultimate crispy crackling. ROAST PORK BELLY WITH PANCETTAWRAPPED APPLES

40 mins prep 1 hour 40 + drying time cook time

Serves 4-6

Pork, apples, and cabbage is a classic combination, and this one tray version is a favourite of ours. If you don’t have an apple corer, leave the apples whole and add the sultanas and pine nuts to the vegetables in the roasting dish for the last 10 minutes of cooking. 1-1.2 kg Freedom Farms pork belly, skin on 2 tsp flaky sea salt 1 tsp ground fennel 2 red onions, sliced 2 fennel bulbs, cut into very thin wedges, fronds reserved ¼ red cabbage, shredded A few sprigs of thyme 3 bay leaves 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 tsp fennel seeds ½ cup chicken stock or water 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 6 apples (we used Braeburn) ⅓ cup golden raisins or sultanas, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes, then drained 2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts 6 slices pancetta To achieve perfect crackling, start preparing your pork the night before. Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife and carefully pour ladles of boiling water over the skin (this helps to open up the pores). Dry the pork very well, then rub the sea salt into the skin of the pork, ensuring that you get some

salt into the cuts. Place the belly, skin side up, on a rack over a tray and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight to dry the skin even more. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Remove the pork from the fridge, pat dry again, and rub the ground fennel onto the flesh. Sprinkle the skin with more salt. Place the pork on a rack over a roasting dish and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower the heat to 180°C. In the same roasting dish, toss the onion, fennel, and cabbage with the olive oil and fennel seeds. Add the thyme and bay leaves. Season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle over the chicken stock and cider vinegar. Place the pork on top of the vegetables and cook for 40 minutes. Core the apples using an apple corer. Combine the sultanas and pine nuts and stuff the mix into the cored apples. Wrap a piece of pancetta around each apple and secure it with a toothpick. Set aside. Nestle the apples around the pork and roast for a further 30-40 minutes, adding extra liquid to the roasting dish if the vegetables start to catch. If the pork skin hasn’t completely crackled, put the belly on another tray and pop it under the grill (be careful though as it can burn very quickly). Leave the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Finely chop the fennel fronds and toss them through the vegetables. Remove the toothpicks from the apples before serving.

ROASTED SQUASH AND PLUMS WITH WALNUT SALSA

20 mins prep

Serves 4-6

This brilliantly bright side dish makes the most of seasonal pumpkin and the last of the plums. When fresh plums are out of season, add halves of tinned black Doris plums to the pan in the last 10 minutes.

with the spring onions, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, and the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If necessary, loosen the salsa with 1-2 tablespoons water. To serve, put the vegetables on a platter and scatter with the walnut salsa.

WATERCRESS AND WITLOOF SALAD WITH MUSTARD CAPER DRESSING

Approx. 1kg pumpkin or squash, cut into thin wedges (we used a mix of butternut and buttercup) 5 Tbsp olive oil ½ tsp chilli flakes 1 head garlic, broken into cloves, unpeeled 6 plums, halved and stones removed A handful of sage leaves ½ cup walnuts 2 spring onions, sliced 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Make a large batch of this dressing to keep in the fridge, as it’s a creamy, tangy dream that is perfect for dressing bitter greens, slaws, and hot potatoes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a lipped baking pan, toss the pumpkin with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with the chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the garlic cloves to the pan and roast for 30 minutes. Add the halved plums to the pan. Toss the sage leaves with 1 tablespoon olive oil and scatter over the top of the pumpkin. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the plums are just cooked through. On a separate tray, toast the walnuts for 5 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool, then chop coarsely in a food processor. Combine the walnuts

In a small bowl, combine the mustard, capers, vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If a little thick, loosen with 1-2 tablespoons water.

5 mins prep

Serves 4-6

2 tsp Dijon mustard 2 Tbsp finely chopped capers 1 Tbsp caper liquor (the liquid from the caper jar), or 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 witloof and/or radicchio 1 bag bitter greens, such as watercress, rocket, or baby kale.

Separate the witloof leaves and place them into a large serving bowl, along with the watercress. Add enough dressing to coat and serve immediately.

SMOKED FISH RILLETTES WITH QUICKPICKLED VEGETABLES

30 mins prep

15 mins cook time

Serves 4-6

Pleasingly light and fresh, this flavourful rillette pairs perfectly with boiled eggs for a Scandinavian-inspired brunch plate. The subtle pickle is a delight with the smoked fish, and brilliant to have on hand in the fridge to jazz up sandwiches and cheeseboards.

For the quick pickle: 1 fennel bulb, trimmed, fronds reserved 1 medium carrot, peeled 125ml apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp sea salt 1 tsp caraway seeds Put the vinegar into a saucepan with the sugar, salt, caraway seeds, and 125mls water.

then pour over the hot pickle syrup and allow to cool. You can eat this after a couple of hours, but it’s best made a day ahead. It can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. To serve, drain the vegetables from the liquid and mix in a few of the chopped fennel fronds. For the smoked fish rillettes: 250g smoked fish (e.g., kahawai, or mackerel) 4 Tbsp crème fraîche or sour cream 2-3 Tbsp pickling liquid from the fennel and carrot pickle 2 Tbsp capers, roughly chopped

6 green olives, stoned and roughly chopped 1 Tbsp chopped chives 3 slices of Daily Bread kūmara sourdough, to serve Shred the fish into pieces, then combine with the crème fraîche and 2 tablespoons of the pickle liquid, along with the capers, olives and chives. Season with salt and pepper and add a little more pickle liquid if required. Grill or toast the bread and cut each slice into halves, then top with a good dollop of rillettes and little of the pickle.

POTATO ROSTI NESTS WITH AVOCADO, TOMATILLO + FETA SALSA

Serves 6

Wanting to up your brunch game? These little rosti nests are a family favourite both for breakfast and dinner. Made with Tio Pablo’s excellent tomatillo salsa, the creamy and tangy avocado feta topping elevates the whole delicious experience. 2 Tbsp softened butter, or melted clarified butter 600g (approx. 3-4) medium agria potatoes, peeled 1 onion 7 eggs, 1 lightly beaten ½ cup flour 1 tsp sea salt ¼ tsp baking powder A pinch of chilli flakes 1 tin white beans, drained and rinsed ½ cup Tio Pablo Salsa Verde Tomatillo Salsa 2 spring onions, sliced 1 chilli, green or red, thinly sliced 1 avocado, diced 100g feta, crumbled

Transfer to the oven and cook for 30 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and press down the mix again with a spoon or a jar. The rosti should be golden at the edges. Lower the oven temp to 180°C. Crack an egg into each rosti nest, then season with chilli flakes, salt, and pepper, and return to the oven for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through. While the rosti bakes, combine the white beans in a bowl with the tomatillo salsa, spring onions, chilli, avocado, and most of the feta. Season to taste and add a little more salsa if required.

Put a scrumptious spin on those leftover hot cross buns!

Place the pie dish into a deep roasting tin and pour boiling water into the tin until it reaches halfway up the pie dish. Carefully transfer the tin and dish into the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until golden on top and puffed up. The pudding will shrink a little as it cools. Sit for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with icing sugar and serve with the remaining custard.

ROASTED GRAPE, WALNUT AND RICOTTA CROSTATA

Simple, yet impressive, the components of this Italian-style tart can be prepared earlier and simply assembled and baked when required. It’s delicious with other seasonal fruit – try slices of fresh fig, feijoa or frozen berries. For the pastry: 140g flour 50g semolina 50g sugar 100g cold butter, diced 4 Tbsp iced water Put the flour, semolina, and sugar into a food processor

and blitz to combine. Add the diced butter and process to a coarse crumb. Add the iced water and pulse until the dough is lumpy but coming together. Transfer the pastry to a clean benchtop and bring it together with your hands. Shape into a ball, wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Once chilled, roll the pastry onto a piece of baking paper into a thin round. Place on a baking tray and put in the fridge until ready to use. For the filling: 250g grapes 1 Tbsp lemon juice 3 Tbsp runny honey, plus extra for drizzling 250g ricotta cheese 3 Tbsp walnut pieces 2 Tbsp Demerara sugar Mint leaves for garnishing Icing sugar for dusting Preheat the oven to 220°C.

In a bowl, combine the grapes with the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of honey. Set aside. Mix the remaining honey with the ricotta and spread the mix over the pastry, leaving a 4cm gap from the edges. Place the grapes evenly over the ricotta and scatter over the walnuts. Fold the pastry edges slightly over the edge of the filling to create a crust, then sprinkle over the Demerara sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 200°C and bake for a further 25 minutes until the pastry and filling are golden. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra honey, top with a few mint leaves, and serve with yoghurt, vanilla ice cream, or dollops of whipped cream.

NE HERO

Alpha Domus, a beloved Hawke’s Bay winery in the renowned Bridge Pa Triangle and a long-standing proponent of sustainability, is now a long way through its journey and conversion to becoming fully organic with BioGro NZ. ‘Organic agriculture is more than just spray or residue-free,’ says co-founder Paul Ham, ‘It’s a holistic style of farming where the health of the soil and environment is prioritised, including the surrounding flora and fauna, and Alpha Domus has been orientated towards this future.’

Health is at the heart of the change, and the organic label acts as a reassuring symbol of a better choice for one’s body and for the environment. Organic growing is an important contribution without the use of synthetic fungicides, pesticides, or herbicides. ‘It’s exciting to have two new organic releases as part of our range available at Farro,’ says winemaker Barry Riwai. ‘With all our wines, we strive for the highest quality, with minimal intervention from what the season and harvest

provides us and without a premeditated formula that can forsake the wine’s soul and unique seasonal profile. ‘It’s about the enjoyment, discovery and authenticity of each vintage and the interest and emotion that it provides. I spend a lot of time in the vineyard at this time of year; harvest has begun, always beginning with the hand pick of Chardonnay for our joyful and celebratory Cumulus Méthode. A great way to begin a new vintage cycle.’ Find their range in our wine section.
