Celebrating local produce and the flavours of Aotearoa with our curated Matariki menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In celebration of Matariki and marking the start of the M\u0101ori New Year, our chefs have developed a collection of special Matariki recipes to help Kiwis throughout Aotearoa cook and come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently caught up with Stacey Morrison<\/a>, TV\/radio host and Kiwi personality, who says Matariki is a time for celebration and rejuvenation of our practices, including things that we lost, or nearly lost, as well as providing the chance for us to really celebrate and embrace our seasons and enjoy seasonal kai.

Our curated Matariki menu<\/a> is uniquely \u2018kiwi\u2019 and celebrates local, seasonal produce and heroes some of the flavours of Aotearoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind The Menu: Highlights & Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Horopito Tartare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delicious sauce is specially made for us by TopShelf to celebrate Matariki and the flavours of Aotearoa. Horopito is a type of leaf that was traditionally used for its abundance of oils and is also known to aid digestion. It adds a special peppery taste to this tartare that is perfect for dunking your moemoe potatoes and k\u016bmara in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moemoe Potatoes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for their dark skin and unique purple pattern on the inside, moemoe potatoes are a traditional M\u0101ori potato and staple crop. These potatoes are coming from the only grower in Palmerston North, they\u2019ll add an extra Kiwi touch, and are delicious to bake, boil or chip! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey Morrison\u2019s Chicken H\u0101ng\u012b Parcels with Broccoli & Watercress B\u00e9arnaise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacey\u2019s H\u0101ng\u012b Parcels are such a treat and are achievable for everyone to create. They include Stacey\u2019s secret h\u0101ng\u012b spices for the extra earthy flavour kick, and being wrapped in cabbage guarantees the outcome is juicy and delicious!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gourmet Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Watercress B\u00e9arnaise & Chocolate Pastry Wreath<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a large portion of lamb and a delicious Chocolate Pastry Wreath for dessert, this one is great for sharing with the wh\u0101nau! We\u2019ve added Culley\u2019s m\u0101nuaka smoked salt for an earthy, smokey taste, and served it with a whole lot of classic Kiwi roast veg, and a rich, buttery watercress b\u00e9arnaise that has a slight peppery taste to offset the richness! This dessert is a fun one to get the kids helping with, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bargain Box: Gourmet Kiwi Beef Sirloin Steak & Chips with Horopito Aioli & K\u016bmara Doughnuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect dish to bring the fam together! We\u2019ve given the classic steak & chips an exciting Matariki twist, using our Kiwi spice blend, and served with a mint and horopito aioli for a tasty zing! Arguably the best part of the meal will be the K\u016bmara Doughnuts! This is cool way to use traditional produce, and sneaking some hidden veg into a doughnut? Clever! These have a gorgeous natural orange colour to them and are SO delicious you\u2019ll be fighting over them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you’re doing this Matariki, we hope it’s spent enjoying seasonal kai, with special friends and wh\u0101nau. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
