There has been a couple slow cook dishes from me lately. Can’t blame me since the weather has turned and winter is just round the corner. I always love autumn and in Sydney, it is even better. The weather has been beautiful for the last couple of weeks and this week itself has been sitting at around the early 20s with clear blue skies. I just wished that there was more time outdoors than late nights at work.
In my recent post, I mentioned that there was a competition to win a table for four at Marque in Sydney. For the entree, I made smoked cod and chickpea patties with a simple but refreshing cucumber and mint salad.

Remember my previous post about the challenge to unplug for 24 hours? Well, I DID IT!
To be honest, I was dreading the moment that I had to get offline. My iPhone was on airplane mode before bedtime and I waited till the very last minute before I shut my laptop and went to bed. It was an early start the next day to Royal National Park instead of the lovely Kangaroo Island which I will love to visit one day soon. I had many suggestions from everyone but can’t think of a better way to spend a day unplugged than to spend it with nature. It has been awhile since I’ve done any bushwalking and was glad that Mister arranged the whole activity. It was also the first time that I hung out with his colleagues and being the plus one and the “wife”! LOL
It was a relatively short drive (about an hour) to Royal National Park. We started the coastal walk from the old Garawarra farm to Garie beach. It was not a huge walk but there was elevation on the way back which I may chat more about that in another post. We had to walk through mud and I was thankful for my old hiking boots.

I love making fish patties with potatoes. As part of a competition to win a table for four at Marque, I was sent a mystery box and one of the few items were chickpeas and fresh mint. I shall share the rest of the items in another post. I chose to do Middle Eastern inspired dishes and this is my entree entry. My initial plan was to make a fully spiced up and aromatic chickpeas patty but after a trip to the Sydney fish market, I changed my mind. I love working with anything smoked. It gives a dish a rather down to earth type feel.
