Fortnightly Favourites Newsletter!

Hi all and welcome back to another addition of the Fortnightly Favourites Newsletter. Now that the weather is starting to get cooler, we are all thinking more along the lines of the winter fruits and veges that are available to us in this lucky country.

This fortnight we are pleased to bring you a couple of tempting and interesting recipes based on the juicy mandarin which is available from Saratoga Fruit Market for only $2.50 for a 1kg bag (time to do some serious cooking).

This fortnight also brings the showcasing of a very successful and interesting business named Talk n Tours. (see below for more information).

Chilli chicken & mandarin stir-fry

Ingredients (serves 4)
450g fresh thick rice noodles
1 bunch Chinese broccoli, leaves and stems separated
2 tsp oil
3 single chicken breast fillets, cut into thick strips
1/4 cup (45g) blanched almonds
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 long red chilli, deseeded, sliced
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp honey
3 mandarins, peeled, segmented
Method
Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions. Cut any thick Chinese broccoli stems in half, quarters or lengthways depending on thickness.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok or large deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Stir-fry the chicken in two batches for 4 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside covered with foil.
Add the Chinese broccoli stems and almonds. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, chilli and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Combine the soy sauce and honey. Add the Chinese broccoli leaves, mandarin segments and soy sauce mixture to the wok or pan. Stir-fry until the leaves are tender. Toss the noodles through until well combined.

Strawberry, rhubarb & mandarin crumble

Ingredients (serves 6)
1 bunch rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
2 punnets strawberries, hulled and halved
300g mandarin segments
1 3/4 cups (395g) caster sugar
Ground cinnamon
2 eggs
2 cups (300g) plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
150g butter, melted
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 3 litre ovenproof dish. Combine rhubarb, strawberries and mandarins in the dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of caster sugar and cinnamon.
Combine the eggs, flour, salt and remaining sugar in a bowl - it should be lumpy. Scatter the mixture over the fruit. Drizzle melted butter over the top and add the extra cinnamon.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until light golden. It will be soft but will become crunchy on standing.
Notes & tips
This is delicious warm or cool with ice cream or yoghurt.
