Cuisine - Jill Dupleix http://cuisine.com.au/recipe-finder/jill-dupleix en-au Pesto http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/basilpesto Serve on pasta, with meats, in salads, or even just with crackers as a dip. Smoked salmon taramasalata http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/smoked_salmon_taramasalata A non-traditional way of making taramasalata that tastes light, smoky and delicious. Serve simply as an appetiser, or dollop over Greek salad, grilled lamb or oven-baked ocean trout. Sugar-cured tuna with warm potato pancakes http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/sugar-cured_tuna_with_warm_potato_pancakes Tuna responds differently to a salt-sugar cure than does salmon, becoming firmer, a little waxy, and quite delicious. Pork chop with lettuce, bacon and peas http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/pork_chop_with_lettuce_bacon_and_peas I've had it with cooking pork chops with their rind on: who needs boot leather for dinner? Trim it off, and they are easy to cook gently and keep tender. Asparagus with prosciutto, egg and parmesan http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/asparagus_with_prosciutto_egg_and_parmesan Simplicity itself, but the combination of tastes and textures complement the flavour of new season asparagus, without overwhelming it. Soupe au pistou http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Soupe_au_pistou The desired result is more like a soft vegetable stew than a soup. Mash a few of the beans into the liquid to thicken. Chicken in a light broth http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/chicken_in_a_light_broth I nicked this recipe from my own cookbook Lighten Up, because it's the meal I always turn to when I need something light, gentle, and low in fat that my husband will also eat. Spring vegetables with lemon ricotta http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/spring_vegetables_with_lemon_ricotta If you can't find creamy, fresh ricotta, use a fresh goat-cheese curd or feta cheese. If you don't have a steamer, cook the veg in a big pot of simmering, salted water instead. Fresh tuna and red pepper stew http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/fresh_tuna_and_red_pepper_stew This fresh tuna stew teams fresh fish with red capsicum, chilli and paprika. The Marine Conservation Society suggests albacore tuna is a more sustainable choice than southern bluefin. Nasi goreng http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/nasi_goreng This Indonesian way with fried rice - jazzing it up with prawns, tomatoes, bean sprouts and herbs - is very handy when you have cooked too much rice, or indeed, have leftovers such as chicken, ham or salmon.
