Smashed
Tacos:

  • 500g lean ground lamb
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 10 mini flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp macadamia oil

Greek
Salad Topping:

  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta, crumbled or in blocks
  • 1 tbsp macadamia oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano or dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the crushed garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, chilli flakes and parsley. Mix well.
  2. Place a heaped tablespoon of the lamb mixture onto each tortilla. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into an even, thin layer, going right to the edges.
  3. Heat macadamia oil in a large pan over high heat. Place the tortillas, meat side down, into the pan.
  4. Press firmly to “smash” them, using a spatula. Cook for 4 minutes, flip and cook for 30 seconds more.
  5. Repeat with remaining tacos.
  6. In a bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and feta. Drizzle with macadamia oil, sprinkle with oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Top each taco with a generous spoonful of the Greek salad, Tzatziki and serve right away.

quick numbers

  • Serves: approx 20 dumplings
  • Prep time: 20 mins
  • Cook time: 120 mins

ingredients

  • 500g chicken mince
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp macadamia oil (for the filling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wonton wrappers (about 20)
  • 3 tbs Macadamia oil (for pan-frying)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for crispy laced effect)

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, coriander, red chilli, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, macadamia oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. You can also use a food processor for this step.
  3. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
  4. Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture into the centre of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.
  5. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming a half-moon shape or pleating the edges for a traditional dumpling shape. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
  6. Heat some macadamia oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, arrange the dumplings in the pan, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
  7. Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry.
  9. Once the dumplings are crispy on the bottom, carefully pour the cornstarch mixture around the dumplings in the pan, then cover the pan with a lid. This will create the crispy, laced effect. Let it steam for another 3-4 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully cooked and the lacing has formed.
  10. Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another minute to crisp up the bottom if needed.
