What's For Dinner: Scotch Fillet & Frites, BBQ Tips, NZ's Top Restaurants & More!
This week on What’s For Dinner? we're giving you tips and recipes to make the most of the BBQ season, sharing the story of Cucina, highlighting some of New Zealand’s best restaurants, showcasing a great meat & vege combo, and cooking up scotch filet & frites.
Ring in the season with a BBQ recipe everyone will love
This Scotch Fillet & Frites recipe is one of our absolute BBQ favourites. It's a simple but wonderful combination of perfectly cooked scotch fillet with golden twice-cooked fries and creamy garlic aioli. If you're looking to add a little heat to the dish, we've included the instructions to a second hot and smokey dip that you can check out on our website.
The Story of Cucina
Beef + Lamb Ambassador Chef Pablo and his wife Yanina of Cucina not only create amazing food in a stunning and welcoming venue - they also have an amazing story to tell! "I try to make food that makes people happy", says Pablo, who is also passionate about sharing the flavours, textures and colours of the food of his home country Argentina.
Steak is great with everything!
The price of avocados is the lowest it's been in almost three years, so why not take advantage of this by serving up this delicious meat and veg combo? Combine these recipes for an awesome dinner: Lamb steaks with chilli pesto and roasted vegetables will go great with our Avocado Caprese salad. Avocado is full of healthy fats and helps to lower blood cholesterol. By serving it with a lean beef steak you'll also get a big boost in essential iron.
