Thursday December 1 2022 7 Salads with a difference Salad season is approaching, try these cold and warm vegetablebased meals Potato gnocchi with roasted tomato sauce Serves 4 Ingredients Roasted tomato sauce: 1.5kg tomatoes, halved 4 each: garlic cloves, thyme sprigs 1 sprig rosemary 2 tbsp olive oil Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Gnocchi: 500g floury potatoes 1 cup plain flour 1 egg, lightly beaten 1-2 tbsp olive oil Directions To make roasted tomato sauce, preheat oven to 180 deg C. Place all ingredients in a large roasting pan. Roast for about 45min or until tomatoes are soft and pulpy and starting to caramelise. Cool a little, then puree in a blender and pass through a sieve. Reheat when required. Makes about three cups. Shredded beetroot, onion, apples and capsicum make a delicious combination. Meanwhile, prepare the gnocchi. Peel and chop potatoes. Boil in salted water, until soft. Drain well and mash. Beat flour and egg into potato in the saucepan. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add a little more flour if too soft. Knead until smooth and sticking together. This could take up to five minutes. Divide dough into four. Roll out on a lightly floured bench to form long skinny sausages, about 2cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-long pieces. The tops can be indented with a fork. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Gently poach gnocchi in batches until they rise to the surface. Drain and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Serve topped with roasted tomato sauce. Great finished with freshly ground black pepper, basil and parmesan. Beetroot salad Serves 4-6 Ingredients 300gm young beetroot, peeled and shredded ½ small red onion, thinly sliced 1 red capsicum, seeded, diced 1 apple, peeled, cored, shredded ½ cup chopped parsley 1 tsp toasted cumin seeds Grated orange rind and juice ½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped Directions Place vegetables, apple, parsley, cumin seeds and orange rind in a large bowl. Drizzle with orange juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 60min. Garnish with walnuts. Great served with plain yoghurt. Capsicum, kumara and pesto salad Serves 2 Ingredients 250gm orange kumara, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes 4 stalks asparagus 2 yellow or red capsicums 1 tbsp olive oil 1 cup wild rocket, chopped 3 tbsp basil pesto Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 medium tomato sliced 1 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese Directions Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Boil or steam kumara until just tender. Meanwhile, trim asparagus and cut into 2cm lengths. Add to kumara during the last two minutes of cooking. Halve peppers lengthwise. Remove ribs and seeds. Brush with olive oil. Place on a baking paper-lined tray and bake for two to three minutes until slightly softened. Combine kumara, asparagus and rocket with pesto and seasonings. Spoon into peppers. Top each with a slice of tomato. Bake for about 15min.

At the end of October local police and I facilitated a Woolston Community Safety Meeting, which sought input from residents regarding community safety concerns. We heard a range of voices and received really useful insights. Local community board members and I will be looking closely at the concerns raised and working together to implement solutions. The feedback we received from locals will be instrumental in this process, so I’d like to send a heartfelt thank you to all those who attended and contributed. If you want to embrace community spirit over the festive season (or any other time) in a rewarding and productive environment, Hōhepa Canterbury always welcomes volunteers! Similarly, the Woolston Development Project has a wonderful selection of community services, initiatives and activities to get involved in. In Wellington, Parliament reached an important milestone with the swearing in of Labour’s newest MP, Soraya Peke- Mason. Women now account for 50% of the MPs serving New Zealanders. Banks Peninsula led the way in 1933, electing Elizabeth McCombs to represent Lyttelton (as the electorate was then known). McCombs was New Zealand’s first female MP. It’s wonderful that in 2022 we have taken such a significant step towards true equality and representation in New Zealand. I’ve also been reflecting, as we approach the end of the year, on the challenges we’ve faced as a nation and the opportunities ahead. The Labour government continues to navigate the country through a period of significant global uncertainty and we’ve made progress on important issues like child poverty, social housing and climate change. Two more recent examples of Labour initiatives include the $190 million childcare assistance subsidy package and the $540 million in infrastructure funding to facilitate the construction of more than 16,000 new homes across the country, including here in Christchurch. My colleagues and I are determined to continue to find solutions to current challenges and implement more measures that will improve the lives of all New Zealanders. This will be our focus for 2023 and beyond. Enjoy your end of year celebrations and the holiday season. It’s a wonderful time of year and there’s no better place to spend it than Banks Peninsula.
