Sardines on Toast
Sure, it’s more fancy than sardines on toast. The dish is based on a recipe from The Sydney Broadsheet cookbook published by the Broadsheet City Guide. I have both the Sydney and Melbourne cookbooks which are. full of excellent cafe and restaurant meals – tasty, complex, and capable for home cooks.
I love sardines. Healthy and sustainable seafood. And on this occasion, available at the old price of $7 per kilo. And by now I know how to prep sardines. Really.
The original recipe had the butterflied sardines stuffed with a coriander and almond meal pesto. I made a basil and pine nut pesto (garlic, no cheese).
The base is puff pastry topped with a beetroot relish, and I’ve made a similar recipe before. Here’s the cookbook version.
Beetroot Relish
60ml olive oil (recipe says 80ml but it was too oily at the end)
1/2 brown onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves< finely diced
1 long green chilli, chopped (not sure how this is different from “finely diced”)
2 beetroots, peeled and grated (I used baked beetroot, and realised later that it probably meant raw beetroot)
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp coriander seeds, lightly toasted.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper…

Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Here’s a remake of an old favourite. This is adapted from Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favourites – a must-have in every kitchen. I admit I tend to up the fat content at every opportunity though… Before you start, make parmesan crisps. Grate some parmesan finely. Using a ring, make parmesan rounds on baking paper, or better…
Fermenting Gear
I though I’d post about my two fermenting tools. You can spend a lot of money buying ceramic crocks for hundreds of dollars. And yes, I’d love to! However you can get started more easily with some cheaper gear. The Masontops Fermentation Kit is an excellent way to get started. You get 4 plastic breathing…
