Jazz Apple & Beetroot Fritters

Jazz Apple & Beetroot Fritters

Recipe By Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation with Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

• 2 jazz apples, washed

• 1 large beetroot, washed

• 2 medium sized brown onions, sliced

• 2 tsp whole cumin seeds

• 1 tbsp curry powder

• 2 tsp black sesame seeds

• 1 tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)

• sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

• 100 g chickpea flour

• 2 cups oil for frying

• 1 lemon to serve

Method

• Grate the apples on the large side of a box grater into a clean bowl lined with a muslin cloth. Wrap up the sides of the muslin cloth and squeeze to remove any excess juice from the apples and set the juice aside. Place the apple pulp into a large mixing bowl then grate in the beetroot and add in the sliced onions.

• Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and toast the cumin seeds for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Grind the seeds in a mortar and pestle and add them into the apple mixture along with the curry powder, sesame seeds, chilli, salt, black pepper and chickpea flour.

• Use a spoon to mix well, adding a few spoons of the apple juice into the mixture to form a sticky batter.

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Place tablespoon sized amounts of the batter in the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side, or until the fritters are crispy and cooked through. Cook them in batches of 3 or 4 so the pan is not overcrowded and make sure the oil does not get too hot, otherwise the fritters and spices will burn. Drain the fritters on paper-towel then serve warm with a light seasoning of sea salt and lemon wedges on the side.

Peach Vanilla Olive Oil Slice

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

• 4 free range eggs, at room temperature

• ¾ cup caster sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla bean paste

• ¾ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to grease tray

• ¾ cup peach nectar

• 2 ½ cups self raising flour

Icing

• 80 ml Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

Method

• Preheat an oven to 180 degrees (C). Grease and line the base and sides of a 30 cm x 20 cm rectangle baking tray with high sides (around 4 cm high), making sure the baking paper overhangs a little to make it easy to lift out the slice later.

• Place the eggs, sugar and half the vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixing bowl and whisk until pale and fluffy.

• Gently mix through the olive oil and peach nectar until combined. Sift in the flour and fold through the almond meal, making sure not to knock out too much air from the eggs. Pour the batter into the prepared tin so it is in an even layer. 

• Arrange the sliced peaches on top, gently pressing down into the batter. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool.
