Ready to elevate your home cooking game? These smoky boiled ham rolls with sweet potato mash, pear compote, beetroot raspberry coulis, and orange oil are the perfect way to impress your taste buds and your guests. This dish is all about balancing rich flavors with sweet and tangy notes. It’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner but fancy enough to wow at a dinner party or just for a special lunch just for yourself.

Serve this dish like a pro: start with a generous scoop of sweet potato mash in the center of each plate. Place the smoky pork rolls lean on the mash, then add a dollop of pear compote on the side. Place small dollops of the beetroot raspberry coulis around the plate for a beautiful splash of color, and finish with a drizzle of orange oil for a citrusy, fresh zing. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat the mash in the microwave or oven, and enjoy the compote and coulis cold or at room temperature for a quick, delicious meal.

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Here is the recipe for the Orange Oil. You’ll need about 3 tablespoons for this recipe.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • For the pear compote, mix water and sugar in a small pot and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the pear. Cut zest strips from half a lemon. Add the pear pieces and lemon zest to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes until the pear is soft but still holds its shape and has a bit of bite.
  • While the compote is cooking, prepare the coulis. In a tall container, finely puree the cooked beetroot and fresh raspberries. Strain the puree through a sieve to catch the raspberry seeds. Season the smooth mixture with honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and pour it into a squeeze bottle. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Remove the pot with the pear compote from the heat, take out the lemon zest, and add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir and set aside to cool.
  • For the sweet potato puree, fill a small pot halfway with water and set aside. Peel and cut the sweet potato into medium pieces and add them to the pot. Cook until soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the salad dressing in a small bowl. Mix together orange oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, fresh chili, and dried coriander. Set aside. Wash and dry the salad thoroughly and set aside separately.
  • Roughly chop the hazelnuts and cut the chives into small rings. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, warm the milk and butter in the microwave or a small pot until the butter melts. Set aside.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with a potato masher until coarse. Add the warm milk and butter mixture and stir well. Season with salt, pepper & cayenne pepper.
  • To plate, place a dollop of the puree on a plate and spread it slightly. Next, add a few drops of coulis beside it. Thickly slice the smoked boiled ham and roll it up, placing it on the puree. Arrange the pear compote lengthwise next to the coulis. Add some salad between the puree and coulis. Top the plate with the remaining dressing, hazelnut pieces, chive rings, and a drizzle of orange oil.

Lemongrass oil is your new secret weapon in the kitchen! With its vibrant, citrusy notes, it adds a refreshing twist to any dish. Perfect for those who love experimenting with flavors, lemongrass oil is versatile and easy to use, making it a fantastic addition to both sweet and savory recipes.

Drizzle lemongrass oil over salads for a zesty kick, or mix it into marinades for a burst of flavor. It’s also amazing in soups, curries, and even desserts. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste. I love to eat it in this Five Spice Roasted Chicken & King Oyster Mushroom Soup.

Store lemongrass oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness and potency. Make sure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. Properly stored, it can last for 1-2 weeks.

Lemongrass Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 50 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 25 grams lemon grass
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. Chop the lemongrass into coarse pieces, and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until only tiny pieces of the lemongrass are visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  6. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  7. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Lime Coconut Oil

Lime Coconut Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 105 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl into which the medium saucepan fits
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • fine sieve
  • sealable container
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 limes
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the limes thoroughly. Put them into the blender. Since coconut oil solidifies below 23°C (73°F), you need to warm it up briefly so it can be poured over the limes in liquid form. Pour the oil into the blender and blend everything on the highest setting until it becomes pastel green and only small pieces of the limes are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the mixture cook for the next 20 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. Once the oil mixture is no longer bubbling, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool a bit. Pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  4. Then, rinse the strainer and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.
  5. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in there. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to use it, fill a glass with hot water and place the oil bottle in it for a few minutes so it can liquefy again.

Lime Curd Cheesecake

Lime Curd Cheesecake


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 3 hrs 40 min + overnight
  • Yield: 16

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • oven
  • spring form pan 28 cm / 11″
  • deep baking tray that fits the spring form pan
  • food processor
  • microwave (or small saucepan)
  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • aluminum foil
  • small saucepan
  • zest grater

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
CRUST
  • 200 grams golden Oreo cookies (without cream filling)
  • 100 grams butter
FILLING
  • 600 grams cream cheese
  • 130 grams white sugar
  • 160 grams creme fraiche
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
LIME CURD
  • 2 limes
  • 85 grams white sugar
  • 40 grams butter
  • 50 grams heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • cold water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F fan-assisted. Fill a deep baking tray or baking dish, large enough to fit your springform, with water. The water should come about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Set aside.
  2. Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies and remove the cream filling. Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan and add it to the cookie crumbs. Mix for about 20 seconds until combined and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the crème fraîche and vanilla extract. Beat in one egg until just combined, then add the second egg and mix until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent adding too much air to the batter.
  4. Pour the cream cheese filling over the cookie crust in the springform and spread evenly. Place two sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface and put the springform pan in the center. Fold the foil up around the edges of the pan to prevent water from getting in during the water bath. Place the pan in the water bath and bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 40 minutes. The cheesecake should be set at the edges and slightly wobbly in the center, with no cracks on top.
  5. While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the lime curd. Zest the limes and place the zest in a small saucepan. Juice the limes and add the juice, along with the sugar, to the pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then gradually add the butter, stirring until melted. Finally, stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and 1.5 tablespoons of water until smooth, then add to the lime mixture. Bring to a boil while stirring, set aside and then let it cool for a bit.
  6. After 40 minutes, turn off the oven and open the door completely. Leave the cheesecake in the cooling oven for 20 minutes to prevent cracking from temperature shock.
  7. The lime curd should be quite firm by now. Stir in about 4-5 tablespoons of cold water until creamy but not too runny. Add more water if needed. Set aside to cool completely.
  8. After 20 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the water bath, discard the foil, and run a sharp knife around the edge to loosen it from the springform. Leave the springform ring on and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature.
  9. Once the cheesecake has cooled, gently spread the lime curd on top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. I know it’s a long wait, but it’ll be worth it 😉 Enjoy your cheesecake!
