Thursday August 11 2022 11 Add some zing to your roast beef A spicy marinade is a good way to add something different to a traditional meal Whisky marinade for beef Serves 3-4 Ingredients 1 cup chopped pitted dates ¼ cup orange juice 1 cup peeled and diced orange 3 cups self-raising flour ¼ tsp salt 50gm chilled butter, chopped 1½ cups milk, warmed 2 tbsp cane sugar Ingredients Directions ¼ cup whisky 2 tbsp prepared mustard 3-4 tbsp olive oil 400g beef fillet freshly ground black pepper 1 cup beef stock 1 tbsp thyme leaves Directions Whisk whisky, mustard and 3 tbsp of olive oil until well combined. Place beef in a plastic bag. Add marinade. Refrigerate for 60min. Return to room temperature before cooking. Preheat grill on high. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Brush with remaining oil. Season with black pepper. Grill for about 8min each side. To test if done, press thickest part of meat with your fingertip. The softer it is the rarer it is; the firmer it is, the more cooked. Tent with foil and cover with a thick towel. Rest for 10min before slicing. Bring marinade, stock and thyme to the boil. Simmer for 10min. Serve with the meat. Roasted tomato, butter bean, and watercress Serves 4 Ingredients 2 tsp salt 8 tomatoes 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp brown sugar 2 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 freshly ground black pepper, to season 1½ cups butter beans 4 handfuls watercress, 100gm almonds, roasted and salted 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tbsp fresh herbs, such as parsley, oregano, marjoram, finely chopped 1 cup creme fraiche Directions Preheat the oven to 220 deg C. Arrange the tomatoes in a dish. Drizzle over the oil, sprinkle the salt, pepper and brown sugar. Finely slice the garlic and add with the rosemary. Bake for 20min then let cool. Combine the butter beans with the watercress. Arrange on a platter or individual dishes then add the tomatoes and the almonds. Mix together the creme fraiche, lemon juice and herbs. Spoon over the salad before serving. Date and orange scones Serves 6 to 8 Heat oven to 210 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. In a bowl, combine the chopped dates with the orange juice and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, until the dates absorb the orange juice. Add the diced orange. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the warm milk to the date and orange mixture, stir to combine then mix quickly into the flour with a spatula. Do not knead. Turn out on to a floured bench. Dust the top with flour and pat out to an even rectangle about 2.5cm thick with your hands. Cut the mixture into squares or rounds. Place the scones on the prepared tray. Sprinkle with the sugar. Bake for about 20min. • More recipes, p12 ADVERTORIAL Water and environment key issues for new candidate Avonhead resident Dr Laly Samuel will be standing as an independent in the upcoming local body elections, vying for a seat on the Christchurch City Council for the Waimairi ward and one of two seats on the Community Board for the Waimairi/Fendalton/Harewood Ward . An academic and scientist, Dr Samuel has gained extensive international experience and recognition, with awards including the Garshom International Award she received in Norway in 2019. She was also named as one of the finalists in the Women of Influence Award – International category New Zealand in 2015. Originally from India, Dr Samuel moved to New Zealand with her husband and two children in 2002. Prior to that they lived in Japan for 11 years, where Dr Samuel worked as a scientist and undertook post-doctoral study. After three years in Wellington, during which Dr Samuel was a team leader at the Measurements Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL) under the Crown Research Institute, Industrial Research Ltd , she moved to Christchurch where she continued her job with MSL under Callaghan Innovation, a role she held until 2016, before deciding to take a break from her professional life. Always part of her busy schedule, community work now has an even stronger focus for Dr Samuel. This involves assisting Indian immigrants to settle into New Zealand life. She is active in her local church, St Christopher’s, and along with her husband helps the Kerala community group with personal and cultural matters. She is also a member of the Christchurch Multicultural Council and the Christchurch International Group. With her scientific and management background, her experience with ethnic communities, as well as her commitment to helping the community, Dr Samuel believes that she will be a competent candidate. If successful, her main focus will be on removing chlorination from the city’s water, with reducing the city’s carbon footprint also an important issue for her. She supports the new stadium but was disappointed that solar panels were not included in the design. “I am also against the 1.4 per cent annual rate increase that Christchurch people will have to pay to fund the stadium’s construction. I believe the government should contribute more.” The situation Bromley residents are dealing with also concerns Dr Samuel. “The odour and pollution being created is affecting not just Bromley, but many parts of the city, and the toxic particles can cause health issues. “With my international scientific and management experience, I believe I could contribute a lot to council committees dealing with issues like these, and many others.” Her campaign strategy will include meeting with people as she believes it is important to interact with people and discuss their issues. “I already know a significant number of people in the Waimairi Ward, and I look forward to meeting many more, and going on to represent them after the election.”
