Cooking chicken skin side up over a medium high BBQ for 15 mins, flip and cook skin side down for 5 mins until lightly charred, flip again so chicken is again skin side up and finish the cooking process for a further 15mins or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when checked.

Step 3. Serve whole chicken to the table with corn tortillas, charred jalapenos, lime, coriander and crumbled feta to DIY your own chicken tacos. 

Notes

* To butterfly a chicken, place the chicken breast-side down on a stable board and using poultry scissors cut along either side of the backbone and remove. Turn the chicken over again so that it is breast-side up.

Rotate the legs sideways and using the palm of your hand press down on the breast and flatten against the board.

SERVES 6

Capable Cooks

INGREDIENTS

Avo Ale Braised Pulled Pork 

1.5 kg boneless pork shoulder, trimmed

1 tablespoon brown sugar 

2 teaspoons cumin 

2 teaspoons smoked paprika 

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 

1 large brown onion, roughly chopped

4 garlic cloves, crushed 

375ml Grassy Knoll Aussie Avo Cream Ale 

500ml beef stock

Avocado Hot Sauce 

1 jalapeño pepper, stems removed, deseeded

1 habanero pepper, stems removed, deseeded

2 medium Australia Avocados

1 lime, juiced

1 clove garlic, crushed 

¼ cup of olive oil

To serve

12-18 corn tortillas, warmed  

¼ wedge purple cabbage, finely sliced 

1 small red onion, finely sliced 

1 large mango, flesh chopped into cubes 

1 cup coriander, roughly chopped

METHOD

Step 1.  Preheat oven to 180C. Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowel. Rub the pork with this spice mixture, getting into crevices. 

Step 2. Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or ovenproof heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, for 5-7 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the Avo Ale and stock and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot with a spoon to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Add pork back to the pot. Cover with a lid and place into the oven for 3-4 hours until very tender. 

Step 3. Remove pork from the oven and roughly shred the meat. Place over medium heat on the stove top and cook, simmering for 20 minutes until sauce thickens. 

Step 4. Make the Avocado Hot Sauce by bringing a medium pot of water to the boil, Add in the jalapeno and habanero. Boil for ten minutes. Use tongs to take them out and set aside to cool. Reserve the cooking water. To a blender, add the cooled chilli, avocado flesh, lime juice, garlic, olive oil and a dash of the chilli water. Blend on high until completely creamy, add more of the boiled chilli water until you reach the consistency you like. 

Step 5. Serve warmed corn tortillas with the shredded Avo Ale Pulled Pork, Avocado Hot Sauce, purple cabbage, mango, coriander and red onion. Serve with cold Avocado Beers. 

Note: 

If you can’t find habanero or jalapeño peppers. Use 2-3 long green chillies, deseeded (or not) depending how hot you’d like your sauce. 

For an alcohol-free version. Replace the beer in the Avo Ale Pulled Pork with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 350ml extra beef stock

5 garlic cloves, crushed

Packet of seasoning mix from Tortilla Pocket Kit

1 tbs dried oregano 

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Packet of salsa from Tortilla Pocket Kit

90g fetta, finely crumbled, to serve

1 packet, store bought Mexican Rice

1 can Old El Paso black beans, rinsed and drained 

METHOD

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 180C. To braise the pork, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or ovenproof heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add remaining olive oil, garlic, tortilla pocket seasoning mix and extra spices over low heat. Cook, stirring for 1-2  minutes or until the spices are aromatic. Deglaze the pan by adding in the vinegar and stirring through. Add the the salsa, orange peel, orange juice and stock. Season well with salt and pepper. 

Step 2. Return the pork to the dish. If the pork isn’t completely submerged, add enough water to cover the pork and bring to the boil. Cover with a cartouche (a piece of baking paper folded to make a lid) and place with lid on in the oven to braise, turning occasionally, for 3 hours or until very tender. Remove the pork from the braising liquid, transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover the bowl loosely with foil. Reserve the cooking liquid in the dish. Stand the pork until it’s cool enough to handle.

Step 3. Return the dish of cooking liquid to the stovetop over medium heat and simmer gently, skimming off any impurities that come to the surface, until the liquid has reduced by three-quarters. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl. Finely shred the braised pork into the strained liquid. 

Step 4. To serve, fill your Old El Paso Tortilla Pockets in layers of rice, beans, herbs, pork and cheese until full. 

Notes

* This pulled pork recipe is a great staple to add to tacos, nachos, tortilla, burritos etc.

CHICKEN & LEEK PIE W/ SOUR CREAM PARMESAN PASTRY

RECIPE BROUGHT TO YOU BY LILYDALE FREE RANGE CHICKEN

PREP 00:20

COOK 00:35

Makes 1 family size pie

Capable Cooks

INGREDIENTS

1kg Lilydale Free Range Chicken Thigh Fillets, cut into small 2cm pieces 

1/2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs butter

1 leek

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 sprig thyme

1/4 cup tarragon, leaves, finely chopped 

1/2 tbs dijon mustard

Sea salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

1/4 cup plain flour

1/4 cup cream

1/4 cup good quality chicken stock 

Sourcream & Parmesan Pastry

225g plain flour

200g butter

25g grated parmesan cheese

125ml sour cream

Sea salt, to taste 

1 egg, beaten

METHOD

Step 1. Start by making your pastry. In a food processor blitz together the flour, butter and parmesan until it resembles breadcrumbs, add sour cream and sea salt and pulse until a rough dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured bench and gently bring together until smooth. Shape into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and allow to rest in the fridge for 20mins. 

Step 2.  Preheat oven to 220C. While the pastry is resting, make a start on the filling by heating a large non stick frypan over high heat, add oil and cook chicken in batches, until lightly coloured, remove and set aside. 

Step 3. To the same fry pan add leek and butter, reduce heat and gently sweat down the leek for 3-4 mins. Add garlic, thyme, tarragon and mustard. Stir well to combine. Add chicken pieces and cook for a further 3 mins seasoning well with sea salt and pepper. 

Step 4. Sprinkle over flour and stir to coat all the chicken, cook over low heat for 3-5mins then pour over cream and chicken stock. Bring to a gentle simmer stirring well to incorporate flour and create a silky sauce*. Add filling to a 25cm (1.5L) pie dish. 

Step 5. Remove pastry from fridge and roll out to 5mm thickness in the shape of your pie dish. Cover filling with pastry, crimping the edges. Cut a small hole in the centre of the pastry top and brush with egg wash. Bake for 10mins at 220C and then reduce temperature to 180C and cook for a further 20-25mins. Allow to cool slightly before serving. 

Notes

* If the sauce is looking thick, do not worry, this will loosen slightly when pie is baked in the oven.

Making this soup is a bit of an art, its not an exact recipe, basically all you need is water and chicken and then whatever else you throw in there will add / develop the flavour. 

Prep 00:15

Cook 03:00

2 stalks celery, roughly chopped

1 whole head garlic, cut in half 

 5 cm knob ginger, roughly chopped

2 star anise 

8 pepper corns 

Soft herbs - whatever you may have leftover in the fridge 

Anything else that is looking a bit rough in your fridge

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: 

Step 1. In a large pot* over medium high add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and ginger. Cook until vegetables are aromatic. Season with salt.

Step 2. Add chicken and cover fully with water. Bring water to the boil (this may take up to half an hour), add any of your soft herbs at this stage and reduce heat to a slow simmer cooking for 3 hour or until chicken is cooked.

SIMPLE FLATBREADS

RECIPE CREATED FOR YAHOO! LIFESTYLE

These breads are so versatile and easy to make you will be whipping them up for every meal. Perfect for that Indian feed you have been craving, or using them as a wrap for grilled chicken, even as little pizza bases. These flat breads are perfect.

Prep 00:10 (plus 30mins resting time*)

Cook 00:10 

Makes 6

Easy

WHAT’S IN IT?

250g self raising flour

250g natural yoghurt

1 tbs Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil

1 tbs sea salt

Ghee / Butter / Oil, to cook

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: 

In a large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing well to come together to form a rough dough. Remove from bowl and knead for 5mins on a floured surface. Shape dough into a ball and cover loosely with a damp towel. Rest for 30mins. 

Divide dough into thirds, and cut each third in half. You should now have 6 pieces. Working one dough ball at a time, using a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine) roll out to 2-3mm thickness - these don't need to be pretty and they don't need to be a perfect shape, think of a little mini naan bread. 

Place pan (you could use fry pan, skillet, griddle pan or even your bbq) over high heat. Working in batches, brush on a little of your ghee / butter / oil onto pan and cook 1-2mins each side or until golden and beginning to puff up. 

As you cook your breads wrap them in a tea towel to keep warm while you cook remaining dough. 

Recipe notes and tips: 

* The resting time is not necessary, but it will give you the best results.
