WHAT'S FOR DINNER: Irresistible pizza, steak salads, Ambassador Series dinner, BBQ video, Behind the Scenes
This week on What’s For Dinner? we invite you to try our lovely Lamb mince pizza and steak salad recipes, watch our latest Barbecue Basics video and get a ticket to the first Ambassador Series dinner of the year. Also, take a look behind the scenes of the Ambassador Chef 2020 launch event.
Pizza night!
We love how food brings people together and not many dishes do it as well as a fresh, homemade pizza. The bold flavour of lamb works perfectly for this recipe and you will find that the base is really easy to prepare. To save time, you can also use pita bread. Serve with a delicious Nectarine salad to make use of seasonal fruit and get more of your 5+ A Day vegetables. Click here for our Lamb pizza recipe.
Cooking tips: Pizzas are a great cook-in advance meal. Assemble the pizzas, wrap tightly in cling film and freeze. Defrost before your guests arrive, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes.
Ambassador Series kicks off in Christchurch
Tickets are now on sale for the first Ambassador Series of 2020. This dinner will be a celebration of Canterbury with Tejas Nikam of Vices and Virtues and Darren Wright of Chillingworth Road, two Christchurch-based chefs collaborating to bring you an evening of mouth-watering beef and lamb dishes. Click here for the details. Book your tickets with Vices and Virtues.
Try our beef and lamb salads
Fresh, healthy and easy to prepare, each of these salads makes a full meal that's perfect for summer. Have you tried our Rosemary seared steak and warm potato salad? It has a slightly sweet dressing which contrasts well with the herby beef. Alternatively, you could indulge in our Vietnamese beef & noodle salad for an Asian food experience. If lamb is your favourite, you will love this nutritious Warm lamb, carrot & beetroot salad or our amazingly flavourful Balsamic glazed lamb salad.
