Butternut Squash with Sage and Black Olive

from In Praise of Veg by Alice Zaslavsky

Serves 4

2 butternut pumpkin (squash)

1 teaspoon brown sugar (muscovado is my fav here)

1 teaspoon salt flakes

1/3 cup (80 ml) olive oil plus an extra teaspoon

100g macadamia nuts

80g butter

50g kalamata olives, pitted

1 handful of fresh sage leaves, plus extra to garnish

Preheat the oven to 190degrees C with a baking tray inside.

To slice the pumpkin in half, insert a sharp knife through the middle along one side, spin the pumpkin over without removing the knife and slice through the other side. Scoop the seeds out. Use the pumpkin hollow as a bowl to make a paste with the sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then rub into the pumpkin halves.

Pull the hot baking tray out and carefully line the base with a sheet of baking pater. Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of olive oil across the middle of the baking

Caramel Pear Cake

1 cup of sugar

1/3 cup water

3 firm pears

100g butter

2 large eggs

1/3 cup icing sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla essence

1 cup self raising flour

Butter a 23 cm cake tin. Preheat oven to 180degrees C. Put sugar and water in a saucepan and warm gently so that sugar dissolves. Turn up heat and cook until caramel colour – light brown rather than gold. Pour into tin, swirl around so that the base is coated. Peel & quarter pears, arrange pears on top of caramel. Melt butter, leave to cool until tepid.

Beat egg with sugar and vanilla until frothy. Add melted butter.

Sift flour over top and stir in well to become a soft batter. Carefully dab little bits of this over the top of the pears so as not to disturb them. It will spreads as cake cooks.

Bake for 30 minutes or til set in centre. As soon as it comes out of the over turn onto a plate as caramel will start to stick.

Famous 100 Cookie Recipe Ingredients

· 500 grams (2 cups) Butter

· 1 Can of Condensed Milk

· 1 cup Sugar

· 5 cups Self Raising Flour

Cream the Sugar and Butter, add condensed milk and flour. Place on greased trays and bake in moderate oven approx 180 degrees C (360F) until golden brown approximately 10-15 minutes.

For a less ‘floury’ biscuit – sub half a cup of flour for 1/2 cup of custard powder and put lemon or passionfruit icing between the two biscuits. Doesn’t that sound completely heavenly!
