Tasty Bites<br />
American dessert to top off Kiwi main<br />
This well-known Florida<br />
dessert can be made even<br />
better with a box of fresh<br />
New Zealand limes<br />
Lime Pie<br />
Serves 8-10<br />
Ingredients<br />
<strong>25</strong>0g digestive biscuits, well<br />
crushed<br />
100g butter, melted<br />
Filling<br />
390g sweetened condensed milk<br />
4 egg yolks<br />
1 tsp lime zest<br />
½ cup fresh lime juice<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
300ml cream, whipped<br />
Equipment<br />
20cm pie dish<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Begin by crushing the biscuits<br />
to a fine crumb.<br />
Add the melted butter and mix<br />
well so all the crumbs are coated<br />
in the butter. Press firmly into<br />
the pie dish covering the sides.<br />
Bake for 15min. Remove and<br />
cool.<br />
To make the filling, mix the<br />
condensed milk with the egg<br />
yolks, lime juice and zest. Mix<br />
thoroughly and pour into the<br />
prepared pie crust.<br />
Bake the pie for 15min or until<br />
set. Remove from the oven and<br />
cool completely.<br />
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours,<br />
but preferably overnight.<br />
When ready to serve,<br />
traditionally it is covered with<br />
cream or you can serve it<br />
alongside if desired.<br />
The pie is a great way to top<br />
off a classic South Island main<br />
with meat and three veg<br />
Venison fillet<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
850g venison fillet<br />
500ml extra virgin olive oil<br />
2 sprigs rosemary<br />
1/2 head cauliflower<br />
1 litre cream<br />
8 heads bok choi<br />
100ml tamari or soy sauce<br />
<strong>25</strong>0g carrots<br />
500g agria potatoes<br />
2 litres beef stock<br />
1 litre chicken stock<br />
500ml red wine (pinot<br />
noir)<br />
Salt, butter and cooking oil<br />
Directions<br />
First cut the venison fillet into<br />
four 200g portions and marinate<br />
in olive oil and rosemary.<br />
Overnight is best, but for at least<br />
a couple of hours.<br />
Put stock and red wine in a<br />
pot and reduce until medium<br />
thickness and sticky, should<br />
have a deep meaty flavour. This<br />
may take an hour or so of rapid<br />
boiling/reduction.<br />
Slice potatoes as thin as<br />
possible and layer into a baking<br />
dish with a light sprinkle of salt<br />
every few layers.<br />
Bring cream to a boil and pour<br />
over potatoes, place in oven at<br />
165 deg C for about one hour<br />
or until golden and cooked<br />
through.<br />
This can be set aside and<br />
reheated or served fresh.<br />
Peel carrots, toss in olive oil<br />
and season. These can cook in<br />
the oven with the potatoes, and<br />
should be golden and soft to the<br />
bite when finished.<br />
Boil cauliflower florets in salty<br />
water with a dash of cream or<br />
milk in the water to make it<br />
cloudy.<br />
Boil for 5-8min until soft, then<br />
blitz in food processor with a<br />
few spoons of butter and salt to<br />
taste until smooth. This can be<br />
easily reheated in a saucepan.<br />
Sear venison in cooking oil in a<br />
hot skillet then transfer to oven<br />
for 5min Saute bok choi in a hot<br />
pan and deglaze with tamari –<br />
that should steam the bok choi<br />
through and add a nice sticky<br />
glaze. Serve cauliflower puree,<br />
venison and jus (gravy) on one<br />
plate and the sides to share are<br />
served in separate bowls.<br />
Serve with red wine vinegar on<br />
the side to help cut through the<br />
gaminess of the venison.<br />
