Summer of Food
2020 has certainly been a wild ride. But amongst all the twists and turns, one thing has remained the same – the sheer joy and love that really good food can bring. Over the last few months, people all around Australia have bonded together over food, spending hours upon hours teaching themselves how to make sourdough, perfecting the ultimate margarita recipe, and watching tutorials on how to cook the best roast chicken. It’s safe to say that food has been the one constant that we’ve all come to rely on.

the lucky country
So, when it came to putting together this edition of Stockland’s Summer of Food magazine, we wanted to keep the positive vibes rolling! We’ve filled the following pages with plenty of exciting and enticing recipes – from cold smoothie bowls to strawberry barbecue chicken and everything in between, there’s something for every summer soirée and backyard get-together. Plus, we’re reminiscing on all the nostalgic elements of a good ol’ Aussie barbecue on page 4 (psst – you can also learn how to make your own Golden Gaytime) and taking you on a trip to the Mediterranean (if only) on page 18. Find all of that and more in the following pages. Welcome to summer in Australia, it’s going to be a season like no other.

Not just because of our sandy beaches and amazing summer, but because we have the best and most delicious seafood in the world. There are many perks to living on a really big island – no matter where you look, we are gifted with all the climates of the world. Plus, when it comes to cooking, our meals are often inspired by the amazing flavours of the ocean! As an Australian, I am proud to live in a country where almost every home has a BBQ. If you consider one of Australia’s best-known sayings, well it’s right there – throw another shrimp on the barbie, mate! Seafood has a beautiful place in my heart as I trained as a seafood chef, and it’s something that defines my way of cooking. I have been blessed to travel all around Australia with The Living Room, enjoying some of Australia’s best seafood straight from the source – often from the ocean, direct to the plate. In Australia, we are gifted with the tastiest oysters, prawns, scallops, pipis, scampi, octopus, calamari, and a variety of fish. The list is endless.

Something to look forward to this summer is the amount of beautiful seafood that’s available for you to buy from your local fishmonger or supermarket. We’re seeing seafood of the highest quality and freshness, and at great prices too. As parents, it’s important for us to teach our children where their seafood has come from, and how to prepare, cook and enjoy it. And at the same time, teach them to respect the oceans so that they can last for generations and generations to come. So Australia, get excited to cook some delicious seafood BBQ’s like the one I’m sharing with you on page 6. And why not do it the Spanish way, with a lot of flavour and happiness!

DIY Golden Gaytime INGREDIENTS Vanilla ice cream 3/4 can top n fill caramel 2 tbsp malted milk powder 300ml thickened cream 300g milk chocolate, finely chopped
150ml full cream milk 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour 2 tbsp granulated sugar 2 tbsp brown sugar 120g unsalted butter, melted 1 egg yolk
METHOD Allow your store-bought vanilla ice cream to soften slightly, then divide among 12 silicone ice cream moulds, inserting a wooden paddlepop stick in each at the end. Freeze for four hours minimum. For the caramel, place the caramel, cream, and malt powder in a large mixing bowl and use an electric whisk to combine. Take your set vanilla ice cream out of the moulds and dip into the caramel mixture. Place on a tray and freeze for another four hours. For the ganache, add the milk chocolate to a heatproof bowl. Place the milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer, then pour over the chocolate, allowing the warm milk to melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth, then leave to thicken for two hours. For the crumb, preheat oven to 180ºC. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with your hands until a fine crumb forms. Bake on a tray for 10 minutes until golden. Finally, remove your frozen ice creams from their moulds. Dip in ganache, then cover with biscuit crumbs. Set in the freezer for a further hour before serving.

PREP & COOK TIME
1 hr 30 mins
For the tacos: pulse together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the eggs and 2 tbsp warm water until the dough comes away from the sides of the processor – it should be dense and moist. Turn out the dough and roll into a ball. Flatten into a disc and cut into six even portions. One by one, roll the wedges back into golf ball-sized balls and then roll out into 3mm thick rounds between two sheets of baking paper. Grease a frying pan with some sunflower oil and heat over a medium heat. Working in batches, fry the tortillas for about one minute on both sides, until golden brown. Stack completed tortillas on a plate and loosely cover with aluminium foil. Meanwhile, take the chickpea batter from the tin, cut into fingers and arrange on a baking tray, brushing with olive oil. Bake until golden, turning once, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Whisk together the yoghurt, tahini, and smoked paprika with 2 tbsp warm water and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Top the tortillas with chickpea fries, vegetables, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the tahini yoghurt and garnish with some coriander and sesame seeds.

n a e n a rr e t i d e M escape We’re dreaming of azure blue seas, cobbled pathways, and lemon trees lining the streets. Welcome to the Mediterranean, Aussie style.
MAKE IT PERSONAL
CREATE A FEAST WITH FLAVOUR! TOMATOES, OLIVES, LEMONS, FIGS, BURRATA, AND HERBS ARE STAPLES OF EUROPEAN CUISINE.
Start the night with some mezze - small plates designed to accompany drinks and facilitate conversation
Put a personal touch on your table by creating bespoke name cards from scratch. Simply grab a couple of wide green leaves (we prefer magnolia leaves), and a metallic marker pen and channel your inner-calligrapher! You could also achieve something similar by writing on white clam shells – both would be perfect for a Mediterranean table! Otherwise, simply grab some plain white pillar candles in varying heights and group them together in the middle of your table. The ambience of the flickering candlelight will only add to the magic of the night. Play some Mediterranean-inspired tunes in the background and the stage is set for an incredible evening.
SET THE SCENE When it comes to transforming your space from suburbia to Sicily, think fresh whites, sunshine yellows, and citrus accents. When dressing your table, remember – it’s all about layers. Start with a bright tablecloth, then add white dinnerware, linen napkins, tons of greenery, and have some fun with your table settings! There’s nothing more quintessentially Mediterranean than some fresh lemons – grab some from your local Stockland grocer. 18

FREEZE TIME

INGREDIENTS
METHOD
For the ice cream
For the ice cream: pulse the sweetener in a food processor until fine and powdery.
1/4 cup granulated sweetener (see tip) 2 tbsp coconut oil 600ml coconut milk, divided in half 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp MCT oil 1 cup raspberries For the waffles 60ml aquafaba (liquid from a tin of chickpeas) 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast 1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened 3 tbsp granulated sweetener 2 3/4 cups almond flour 1 tsp xanthan gum 1/4 tsp salt 2/3 cup vegan caramel sauce or syrup, sugar-free if possible
Melt the coconut oil in a heavy-based saucepan set over a medium heat. Whisk in 300ml cups of the coconut milk and the powdered sweetener. Bring to a simmer and let it cook down until thick and reduced by about half, about 25-30 minutes usually. Pour into a bowl, stir in the vanilla extract, and let cool to room temperature. Whisk in the MCT oil and remaining coconut milk. Cover and chill until cold, about four hours. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, adding the raspberries after 7-8 minutes, until softly frozen and set, about 15-25 minutes. Cover and freeze until firm, about three hours. For the waffles: in a mixing bowl, stir together the aquafaba, almond milk, and yeast. Let stand for five minutes in a warm place. Add the margarine, sweetener, almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until you have a rough dough, turn out, and knead a few times until smooth and firm. Place back in the bowl, cover with a damp tea towel, and let rise at room temperature for one hour. Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Shape into small balls and cover with a damp tea towel. Preheat a waffle iron. When ready, place a dough ball in the iron and press to close, cooking until golden brown and crisp, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove when ready and repeat for the remaining waffles; every two waffles, spread some caramel sauce or syrup onto one waffle, sandwiching against a second one to complete. When finished, you should have eight sandwich waffles in total. To assemble, take big scoops of the ice cream and place on top of one sandwich waffle. Sandwich against a second waffle, using an offset spatula dipped in hot water to smooth the edge to a flat finish. Arrange the completed ice cream sandwiches on a large tray and freeze for one hour before serving.
Tip: For your granulated sweetener, try Stevia, xylitol or monkfruit sweetener 20 STOCKLAND | SUMMER OF FOOD
