<div style="text-align: center;">
First up I started the Dessert Cake preparation </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even made my own <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche">Dulce De Leche </a>instead of purchasing it but come to think of it I have never seen it available in our small coastal town<br />
<br />
Recipe for Homemade Dulce De Leche by Donna Hay available <a href="https://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/snacks-and-sides/homemade-dulce-de-leche">here</a> and also above blog in Pages</div>
<br />

<br />
Condensed Milk ready to go into oven covered by foil and in a Water Bath<br />
I don't think I left mine in long enough due to the paler colour and thickness of it compared to Donna's but in any case it was still delicious<br />
Also a bit hard to check as it was covered by baking paper, foil and string<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see Donna's version is really dark and quite thick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dulce De Leche is sitting atop Chocolate Ganache</div>

But first, and very important...which Apron to use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just this week I received this apron from <a href="https://toomanyeggs-trish.blogspot.com.au/">Trish</a> who recently went over to Provence, France</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I already had bought one from there but of course I needed another lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used a Tea Towel with Provence embroidered on it that I purchased whilst over there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks so much Trish......much appreciated!!!</div>

Adding Sauerkraut to the Meatballs gave a real depth of flavour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time I'd like to double the Glaze......it was delicious</div>

The Meatballs here with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colcannon">Colcannon</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colcannon (Irish: cál ceannann, meaning "white-headed cabbage") is a traditional Irish dish mainly consisting of mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage. It is also the name of a song about the dish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(from Wikipedia)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this dish I used Savoy Cabbage, Leek and Pure Jersey Cream from <a href="http://tilbarealdairy.com/">Tilba</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is part of the verse.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Wikipedia)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was very delicious.......together a lovely tasty combination</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Pound cake refers to a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. However, any cake made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio, by weight, of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar may also be called a pound cake, as it yields the same results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pound cakes are generally baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold, and served either dusted with powdered sugar, lightly glazed, or sometimes with a coat of icing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At my local Farmer's Markets I found a new-to-me fish mince......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thefoodcoach.com.au/food/?Action=View&FoodID=208">Albacore Tuna</a> is often called 'chicken of the sea' due to its meaty-flavoured flesh, which turns white on cooking.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The mince was white and the texture was very similar to chicken.......delicious!</div>

ALBACORE TUNA BURGERS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
500g minced albacore/200g tuna steaks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 garlic clove, finely chopped......I used 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
small knob fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tbsp soy sauce</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
handful coriander leaves, chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tbsp sunflower oil......I used coconut oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
burger buns, lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and avocado, to serve</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
METHOD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chop the tuna into small chunks until the tuna is roughly minced </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip the tuna into a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and coriander </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shape into two patties (for the steaks)......you should get 4 out of the mince, place on a plate, then freeze for 10 mins to firm up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the burgers for 1-2 mins on each side or until done to your liking </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serve the burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and avocado or whatever salad you prefer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This would even make a lovely meal with mashed potato and vegies!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bon Appetit......Dzintra </div>

Rapadura Sugar<br />
<br />
Rapadura sugar – is an unrefined sugar, made from minimally processed organic sugar cane. After the cane is harvested it is pressed to squeeze out the cane juice, which is then clarified, filtered and evaporated to remove excess water. The resulting syrup is then crystallized, and is rich with molasses flavour and the vitamins, minerals and trace elements that are naturally found in the molasses of the sugar cane plant, as it is not separated from the nutrient dense molasses part of the sugar cane. It is a high quality whole sweetener. It has a low /medium sweetening power with a marked molasses flavour. Simply substitute 1 cup of rapadura for 1 cup of other sugars.<br />

It is very high in protein, full of vitamins, gluten- and wheat-free, cholesterol-free and usually organic. And it is simply delicious. This title shows you many different ways to use quinoa.</div>
