Seasonal Tip: Avocados have finished for the Season. The new season will start in June.
Give your wife a Cauliflower this week
Cauliflower is a crop that always looks it's best when it's cheap. To go along with all your Chicken Breast lunches get into some Cauliflower Couscous or Cauliflower Rice. Spoiler alert they are almost identical.
Bags of Mandarins
Mandarins are hitting their straps this week with a lot more fruit coming out of Northland. All the Mandarins we have right now are from the Famous Bell Brothers in the Far North. Like all crops this year, Mandarin volumes will be affected by the dry Summer, so overall there will be less volume around. Make the most of them this week.
Rib Sticking
Baby Back Ribs have become a favourite at our house over the past year or so. Here is all you need to know about the history of Spare Ribs and if that doesn't float your boat then have a look at this recipe for Braised Mexican Ribs with Salsa Verde. After all Ribs don't have to be all smoke and BBQ's.
Grape Expectations
Red and Green Australian Grapes are on the Blackboard this week. Imported fruit is a great way to mix the variety of flavours over the Winter. Make sure you get some this week.
Friday Drinks
Trout Valley is a great value brand out of Nelson and is the drink of the week. We have 5 varietals so no doubt you can find something you like for the weekend.
