Here are some more recipes from the Sydney Morning Herald, courtesy
of Mark Herron. What to do with leftovers is the subject of the next
three posts.
Turkey meat, which tends to be dry, benefits particularly from this
macadamia dressing, but any roast poultry meat you have left over can
be used instead. Another soft lettuce can stand in for the rocket
(arugula) if you simply can't obtain the latter, but it won't provide
the delicate, savoury flavour. Macadamia oil can now be obtained in
some supermarkets.
Wash and dry thoroughly: 1 bunch of rocket, discarding the coarse
stem ends 1 small, soft lettuce
Arrange the leaves on four plates.
Heat 250 g macadamia nuts in an ungreased container in the oven until
they smell appetizing, then set half aside and tip the other half
into the bowl of a food processor. Add: 2 garlic cloves, roughly
chopped. With salt and pepper process to a paste. With the food
processor.running, slowly add 100 ml macadamia oil, then 50 ml white
wine vinegar.
Slice or shred enough turkey for four people and gently loss it in the
macadamia salad.
Arrange the dressed turkey on the prepared plates, drizzle left-over
dressing over the salad leaves, Sprinkle with reserved macadamia nuts,
roughly chopped, and finely chopped chives. Serve.
Makes 4 servings.
