1 cup of fresh podded broad beans (or frozen if out of season) 1 cup basil leaves (removed from stems and washed) 1 clove of garlic 1/4 cup pine nuts 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 3/4 cup Great Southern Groves Extra Virgin Olive Oil Extra EVOO for storage Method Place broad beans in pot of boiling water. Cook for only 3 minutes of until beans are floating. Remove and quickly place in icy water to stop them cooking. Drain and remove outer skins. Place basil, broad beans, pine nuts, garlic and Parmesan into a food processor and blend until relatively smooth. Pour in Extra Virgin Olive Oil until it looks creamy and smooth. This pesto can be enjoyed in so many dishes: Pasta with oven roasted tomatoes Spread on toast with scrambled or poached eggs As a dip with crackers and vegetable sticks Spring Pasta Salad... see our recipe. IMPORTANT STORAGE INFORMATION Fresh pesto must always be kept in the fridge or the freezer. Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be kept on the shelf in its natural state but as soon as you introduce fresh herbs or vegetables it must be kept in the fridge or freezer. Fridge - 5-7 days. Freezer - 3 months Pour a little olive oil over the top of our Pesto to stop it oxidizing and going brown. It tastes so good, It won't last that long...  INGREDIENTS 2 cups plain flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 TBS caster sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup Great Southern Groves Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/3 cup milk 1/4 warm water METHOD Preheat oven to 200oC fan forced Sift all dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Measure all wet ingredients into separate jug or bowl including egg. Whisk until combined. Add wet ingredients into dry and mix together with butter knife until just combined. Add a little more flour or milk depending on your mix to get the consistency just right. Don't over mix. Tip mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Gently flatten the dough to roughly 3cm thickness. The less you handle your dough, the lighter and fluffier your scones will be. Cut out scones with a 5cm biscuit or scone cutter. Place on greased baking tray with only a 1cm gap between. Brush with a little milk and bake for 10-12 minutes. Scones should be browned on top and sound hollow when you tap them. Serve with butter, jam and cream. For those a little more health conscious, try serving your scones with Greek Yogurt instead of the cream (only 1/3 of the fat). Baking tips: 1. Always mix your scones with a butter knife not a spoon - Nannas tip for perfect light scones 2. Handle the dough as little and lightly as possible to keep all the air in. 3. Don't twist your cutter. Twisting the cutter tends to make the scones rise lop-sided.   INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cup SR Flour 1 cup plain flour 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 TBS powdered ginger pinch nutmeg 1 tsp bi carb soda 2 eggs lightly beaten 3/4 cup milk 1 cup golden syrup 1/2 Cooladerra Farm Extra Virgin Olive Oil METHOD: Preheat oven to 170oC Place all dry ingredients into bowl using sifter. Combine Extra Virgin Olive Oil, eggs and golden syrup. Mix together well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture into greased and lined 22cm spring form pan. Bake in oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Test with skewer after 1 hour. Rest for 10 minutes before turning onto rack to cool. Can be eaten warmed with ice cream or cream for desserts.  INGREDIENTS
BASE: 3/4 cup Great Southern Groves Olive Oil 3/4 cup icing sugar 1 tsp lemon rind 2 cups plain flour TOPPING: 1/4 cup unsalted, shelled pistachios chopped roughly 3 TBS lemon juice (about 1 lemon) 1 1/12 cup icing sugar METHOD Preheat oven to 150 (fan forced) Put olive oil and lemon rind in food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes. Add icing sugar and blend for a further 2 minutes. It will looks smooth and creamy. Place flour into a bowl. Pour in the olive oil mixture, making sure to scrape out all of the contents of the food processor bowl. Mix well until the dough forms a soft ball. Press dough into a 18cm spring form cake pan, smoothing the top flat with a spoon. Place in fridge to firm up for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove pan from the fridge. With a sharp knife, score the base with a sharp knife into wedges... we did 16. Prick each wedge with a fork. Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Once baked, allow to cool in the pan. Carefully remove from pan, place on a chopping board and cut along lines previously made with a sharp knife. The base is quite crumbly so be careful. To make the topping, combine icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Take cooled biscuit wedges and dip the top into the icing mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Place on cooling rack (with baking paper underneath to catch drips). sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Repeat until all wedges are iced and topped with nuts. Allow to set. NOTE: If you are allergic to nuts, replace pistachios with shredded coconut or leave plain.  Ingredients

Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato cubed (1cm) Extra Virgin Olive Oil ½ lime juiced 450g porterhouse or scotch fillet steak 1/2 packet taco seasoning mix 400g can red kidney beans drained and rinsed 310g can corn kernels drained 4 spring onions finely sliced 1 avocado diced (1cm) – leave out if you want salad to keep a few days ½ punnet of cherry tomatoes halved or 2 tomatoes diced ½ large continental cucumber - seeds removed and diced 1 small bag of baby spinach or 2 handfuls ½ cup chopped fresh coriander Method Preheat oven to 200oC.

Sprinkle steak with taco seasoning mix and place on well oiled plate or grill. Cook to liking and set aside to rest once cooked. I would recommend medium rare as the juices from resting the meat becomes part of your salad dressing Place cooked sweet potato, kidney beans, corn, onions, avocado, tomato, cucumber, spinach and coriander into bowl. Squeeze over the lime juice and drizzle over a generous amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Slice the beef thinly and add to salad mix warm, with resting juices. Mix in gently to salad mix toss.
