For those of you who ordered the Sunset at Home hamper to get you through the coronavirus isolation, we hope you are enjoying it! We've pulled together a few ideas of different ways to serve it so you get to enjoy it to it's full potential!! It is far more versatile than just a dollop on a cheese platter, although of course that is our favourite! #1. The Classic - Served on your Cheese Platter It would be remiss not to include this one. We recommend the pumpkin chutney with a classic aged cheddar or a creamy brie on a jatz or a wafer cracker. #2. The Lunch - Delicious Ploughman's Lunch A British classic:
I love to make my own bread when doing a ploughman's lunch and see below for a recipe for a super-easy, no-knead wholemeal bread. (It doesn't keep for long so either freeze any you don't eat on the day and use it for toast) #3. The Beer Snack Are you looking for some nibbles to serve with your beer? Try some mini poppadoms with condiments such as lime pickle, a cucumber raita (see recipe below) and of course some pumpkin chutney The poppadoms are super easy to make in the microwave. I do three at a time on the highest setting for 40 seconds. Perfecto! The next couple of ideas have come from one of our favourite restaurants on Magnetic Island: Saltwater Magnetic Island. [Put it on your list of places to eat when you visit the island!] ![]() #4. Scrummy Curry Along a similar theme as the beer snack...but by jazzing up the pumpkin chutney it is the perfect condiment to a spicy curry. Fold the pumpkin chutney through some natural yogurt, add sliced dates or nuts like almonds, a pinch of cinnamon and season. To intensify the flavour add some hot chilli or dried chilli. #5. Morning Tea - Treat yourself to a Savoury Scone Serve a savoury scone with some butter, pumpkin chutney and a dollop of sour cream (or creme fraiche, my favourite!). See below for a delicious savoury scone recipe. A big thank you to Jen & Dan from Saltwater for their suggestions. We hope you've enjoyed these suggestions and please share any ideas you have in a comment below!! Recipe suggestions to complement the ideas: Doris Grant Wholemeal "No-Need-to-Knead-Loaf"
Cucumber Raita Chop lebanese cucumber into small cubes, mix with a plain yoghurt, a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon, some chopped mint and you can add a drop or too of honey if you like!).
