Methods and Directions

Yata Watte and Sweet Corn Custard
  • Coat the sweet corn ears in the olive oil and tea and grill for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Strip the kernels off the corn and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and brush the inside of 4 rectangular moulds or ramekins.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent (about 8 minutes). Set aside.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl, stir in the cream, milk, nutmeg and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in the corn.
  • Blend and pass.
  • Divide the mixture amongst the moulds or ramekins and top each with a little onion.
  • Bake the custards until set, for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool before removing.
Frikkadels
  • Heat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Pour water over the bread and set aside to soak.
  • Fry the onions in the butter stirring regularly for 10 minutes until they are soft and starting to colour.
  • Add the garlic and lamb mince, stir well.
  • Crush the mince into fine grains until it changes colour.
  • Stir in the curry paste, herbs, spices, chutney, sultanas and bay leaves.
  • Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Squeeze the water out of the bread and beat into the mince mixture.
  • Divide the mince mixture into frikkadel balls.
  • Heat olive oil with a little butter in a large non-stick frying pan and gently cook the frikkadels until cooked all the way through (about 12 minutes).
  • Be sure to move them around so they don’t stick or burn.
Croutons
  • Pre-heat the oven to 165 °C.
  • Place the bread in a mixing bowl, drizzle with butter.
  • Sprinkle with the herbs and seasonings.
  • Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, occasionally turning until golden brown.
Tea and sherry soaked sultanas
  • Combine all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cover and allow the sultanas to sit in the liquid overnight.
Chutney
  • In a small saucepan, sauté the red onion for about 5 minutes until soft.
  • Add the mixed spice and chilli flakes.
  • Add the sultanas, cider vinegar, sugar and soaking liquid. Stir everything together well.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to cook for about 1 hour, or until the chutney has thickened to the correct consistency.
