First of all, I will like to thank Casey of Eating, Garden & Living in Bulgaria for organising an African Day event to learn and experience the African culture through food. I love Moroccan cuisine. The colours of the food is very bold to match their aromatic spices. As usual, I like to take myself out of the comfort zone and also wanted to make sure of this opportunity to explore other African foods. We missed out on Gaswork this Saturday and so headed to Melbourne Showground farmers’ market on Sunday. It isn’t my first choice for farmers market. The selection and variety is quite poor and I really hope that with the pick up in crowd, there will be some improvement soon. Maybe I am just spoilt from the offerings of St. Kilda, Gaswork, Collingwood and Slow food. Variety and quality is definitely welcomed. Having said that, I did manage to pick up some free range beef and organic vegetables. So a simple meal from simple ingredients. There was no doubt in my mind that red equates red meat. And it was a great excuse to use my new cookbook, Rotis by Stepahnie Reynaud. It is a cookbook all about roasts. So many types of meats and not forgetting the accompaniments and of course, not forgetting the vegetarians! It is a good to keep book. And the photos, like the recipes are really rustic looking. Winter is the best time for having stews. I got ourselves some ox cheek at the market over the weekend. This cut is really tough and therefore needs to be slow cooked. I decided to use one of my ragu recipes. This recipe is really simple and it turned out pretty ok.  |
