RIDICULOUSLY EASY OVEN POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Dice, cube or chop the peeled potatoes into whatever shape you feel like making them.
• Rinse then thoroughly in cold water, drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add oil and toss the potatoes around so they are evenly coated.
• Add all of the spices and the cheese and toss so they are evenly coated.
• Place on a baking pan in one layer (preferably lined) and bake for around 30-40 minutes, depending on person preference of potato texture.
• Suggestions! It's really really handy to line the pan before you bake them, or else you will have a sticky baked on mess on your pans that takes an awful lot of elbow grease to get rid of. You could add lemon juice to the potatoes to give them an extra fresh taste.

NO YEAST CHEESE, GARLIC AND HERB BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
• Grease a bread tin (21 x 11 cm / 8" x 4") or small cake tin with butter.
• Mix the herbs and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Sift the Dry Ingredients into a bowl.
• Combine the Wet Ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine.
• Make a well in the centre of the Dry Ingredients. Pour the Wet Ingredients in and mix until just combined.
• Pour 1/3 of the batter into the bread tin. Dollop half the herbs across the top then use a knife to "swirl" it into the batter up and down, and also turning the batter over (refer photo below).
• Use half the cheese slices and push them randomly into the batter. Push some all the way in and leave some poking out of the batter.
• Pour the remaining batter over the top. Dollop and swirl the remaining herbs, then randomly wedge in the remaining cheese, pushing most of it below the surface of the batter. Even out the surface.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden. Remove from oven and cover with foil, then bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes (total baking time of 45 to 50 minutes). Check to make sure the centre is cooked by inserting a skewer - it should come out clean.
• Turn the bread out onto a cooking rack. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

EASY HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Soften the butter. You can just leave it out at room temperature and let it soften naturally for a couple of hours. Microwave: Remove the wrapping off the butter and place it in the microwave in 5 second increments. In 10 seconds, we had perfectly softened butter. Be careful. You do not want melted butter. The effect you are going for is that you can easily dent your butter when you press your finger into the butter.
• If using unsalted butter, add ½ teaspoon of salt. If using salted butter, you may choose to add ¼ teaspoon of salt or less to your desired taste.
• Add pepper, finely chopped fresh herbs or dried herbs, garlic powder and lemon zest (if desired) and mix well with a fork.
• You can serve it whipped right away. However, you may choose to roll it in a log and refrigerate or freeze for later. Cut a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper Place your compound butter on the 1/3 of the plastic wrap or parchment paper closest to you. Spread the compound butter with your spatula slightly.Gently, but firmly, grab the edge of the plastic wrap and roll the butter into a round log shape. Tightly twist the edges and wrap around. You can either place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or in the freezer to store. Slice into wedges to serve and enjoy.

ITALIAN FLATBREADS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Pat each piece flat. Let rest 5 minutes. Roll out each portion into an 11-in. circle; place on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 40 minutes., Preheat oven to 425°. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make several 1/4-in. indentations. Brush with remaining oil. In a small bowl, combine cheese, garlic salt and rosemary; sprinkle over dough. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Cut into wedges.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER WEDGES WITH HERB TARATOR

Steps:

• Tarator
• Toast almonds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool. Set aside for serving.
• Blend garlic, dill, mint, tahini, and ⅓ cup water in a blender or food processor until a thick paste forms. Add lemon juice and blend again, adding an additional 1-2 Tbsp. water if sauce is too thick. It should be easily spreadable but not runny. Season with salt and lots of pepper.
• Cauliflower and assembly
• Remove outer leaves and trim stem from cauliflower so it sits flat. Cut cauliflower into 4 wedges.
• Whisk oil, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and a big pinch of salt in a large bowl to combine. Add cauliflower and coat in oil. The cauliflower can fall apart easily, so handle with care and use your fingers to work oil into the uneven surface.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (if using a charcoal grill, bank most of the coals on one side of the grill). Place cauliflower, cut side down, on grate over hottest part of grill and grill, undisturbed, until char marks form, about 3 minutes (you can carefully lift to check, but try not to move too much). Turn over onto other cut side and grill, undisturbed, until grill marks form, about 3 minutes. Turn onto uneven floret side and slide over to cooler part of grill or reduce heat to low and cover with lid. Grill until tender (if a bamboo skewer easily slides through the thickest part, it's done), 10-15 minutes. (And if you don't have a grill, you can do this in a grill pan over high. Once pan is very hot, add cauliflower, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook both cut sides as above. When you turn cauliflower over onto uneven floret side, reduce heat to low and cover pan with foil to finish cooking.)
• To serve, spread some tarator onto individual plates or a platter. Arrange cauliflower wedges on top and dollop remaining tarator over. Scatter mixed tender herbs and almonds on top.
