Malva Pudding

2 large eggs

3/4 cup brown sugar

3 Tbs apricot jam

2 Tbs melted butter

2/3 cup full cream milk

1 tsp vinegar

1 cup cake flour

1 tsp bicarbonate

1 pinch salt

Sauce:

80 ml cream

40 ml water

1 Tbs butter

80 ml brown sugar

Topping:

250 ml fresh cream - to whip

60 ml icing sugar 

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

Beat the sugar and eggs together until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the apricot jam and melted butter and whisk/beat to combine.

Stir the vinegar into the milk and then pour that into the egg mixture and stir through.

Sift the dry ingredients and whisk together before adding to the wet ingredients. Whisk to form a smooth batter.

Line a muffin baking tray with large, high-sided cupcake casings.

Pour equal amounts of the batter into each of the 12 casings.

Bake in the oven for 15 – 18 minutes, check if they are done by inserting a knife into the middle of one of the centre cup cakes and if it comes out clean, they are done.

Whilst the cup cakes are in the oven, place all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently, stirring continuously, until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat.

Once the cup cakes are done, remove from the oven, poke several wholes over each surface and pour 1 tablespoon of sauce over each cup cake.

Allow to cool completely in the muffin tray before adding the topping.

Balsamic Beets & Rocket

8 medium-size beets

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup good olive oil

2 teaspoons mustard

salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 ounces rocket 

1/3 cup roasted, salted almonds, toasted

4 ounces feta crumbled

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.

Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.

Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the Rocket on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and feta on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.
