Prep Time – 15 mins
Cook Time – 15 mins

Ingredients

1 cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
1 head garlic
½ cup Coles roasted pistachio nuts
½ cup Coles roasted cashews
10 anchovy fillets
1 tbsp Coles capers
½ bunch parsley
½ bunch chives
Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Ingredients

100g rice flour
50g all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
20g fine caster sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Coles vanilla bean ice cream

Macadamia Dip with Pickled Radishes

Macadamia Dip with Pickled Radishes

Recipe by Nornie Beer

Serves – 6
Prep Time – 20 mins
Cook Time – 15 mins

Ingredients

500g macadamia nuts
Water, for boiling
1 tablespoon white miso paste
Sea salt, for seasoning
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
½ bunch parsley
1 garlic clove
½ cup fresh saltbush
½ bunch chives, thinly chopped
½ tablespoon white pepper
1 daikon
1 bunch radishes
1 bunch Dutch carrots
2 cups Coles apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Coles sea salt flakes

Method

Start with the pickling mix. In a pot, simmer water, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar. Prepare 2–3 sterilised jars by placing coriander seeds, pepperberry, saltbush, mustard seeds, garlic, and vegetables equally into each jar.

For the dip, place the macadamia nuts in a small pot and cover with water. Boil for 10 minutes. Strain and set aside, reserving the liquid.
In a blender, combine the boiled macadamias, reserved macadamia liquid, miso, sea salt, lemon juice, garlic, white pepper, and parsley. Blend until smooth. Your macadamia dip is now complete.

Tip: To turn this dip into a macadamia "cheese," place a sieve lined with muslin or a clean cloth over a bowl. Pour in the blended mixture, tie it up, and place in the fridge overnight to firm up.

For the pickles, pack the vegetables into the sterilised jars and pour the pickling juice over the top. Cover the jars tightly. The pickled vegetables can be stored for a few months.

To serve, spread the macadamia dip onto a serving platter and top with the pickled vegetables. Garnish with crispy saltbush for an extra crunch.
