Matariki fish cakes
recipe by Sarah Henderson
Happy Matariki (Maori New Year) friends! May this star cluster known worldwide and treasured in Aotearoa bring you bright new beginnings! We're celebrating with fish cakes and wild kawakawa kraut... inspired by the Matariki story: when Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku, the earth mother were separated by their offspring, the god of the winds, Tāwhirimātea, became angry, tearing out his eyes and hurling them into the heavens.
400g salmon fillets
1 stick lemon grass, roughly chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce / coconut aminos
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 lime zest and juice
1 garlic clove crushed
1 red chilli
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 sprig spring onion, finely sliced
1 handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 eggs
2-4 tbsp coconut oil for cooking
optional: fresh lime, cilantro and chilli for garnish.
Method:
Lightly drizzle salmon fillets with olive oil and season. Bake for 15-20min at 200 degree Celsius. Once cooled, use a fork to break up into smaller pieces.
Thai sauce: Blend lemongrass, soy sauce/coconut amino, sesame oil, salt, pepper, ginger, lime zest and juice, garlic and red chilli. Blitz until smooth. *Pro-tip, if your food processor isn't powerful enough to break down the lemongrass, strain it through a sift before adding into the fish cake mixture.
In a large mixing bowl add in the almond flour, coconut flour, spring onion, and cilantro and roughly mix with a spoon. Add in the cooked salmon, thai sauce and eggs. Mix it all together until completely combined.
Pre heat the oven to 180 deg. Split the mixture into 10 to 12 cakes. Heat a large frying pan with the coconut oil. Pan fry 3-4mins each side, transfer to the oven tray. Take extra care when flipping in case they are still a little soft (depends on how thick you make them). Bake the fried fish cakes for 5-7mins.
Serve with lettuce leaves and top with Wild Kawakawa Kraut .

stuffed butternut squash
recipe by Sarah Henderson
Serves 4-6 people.
Roasted butternut:
• 1 whole butternut
• 2 tsp paprika
• 2 garlic cloves crushed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
Stuffing:
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion
• 5 mushrooms
• 1 red capsicum
• 2 cups kale
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1 bunch of fresh thyme • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Forage & Ferment Wild Kraut
Pre-heat oven to 190 deg.
Cut butternut in half and use a spoon so scoop out the seeds. Place butternut on a lightly oiled tray and season with paprika and salt. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and crushed garlic and use a brush to coat the butternut halves evenly. Roast in the oven for 40-50 mins, until cooked and soft.
While the butternut is roasting, make the stuffing.
Prep the veggie: chop onion, capsicum, kale and mushroom into fine pieces. Take the fresh thyme leaves off the stalks and set aside (approx. 1-2 loose tbsp). Heat a pan on medium and add in the oil and onion. Pan fry until the onion is soft and fragrant. Add in the salt, pepper, thyme, capsicum and mushroom. Cook until veggies have become soft, approx. 10 mins. Add in the chopped kale and cook for a further 5 mins. Take off the heat and mix the chopped nuts through.
Once butternut is cooked/soft, take out of the oven. Carefully use a spoon to carve out a larger hole for the stuffing. Stuff the butternut with the mixture and roast for a further 5-8 mins at 180 deg.
Top with Marigold Wild Kraut and garish with fresh thyme.

chickpea mexi corn fritters
recipe by Sarah Henderson to edit.
Serves 4 - 6. Makes 8 fritters.
Fritters:
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup corn
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp tapioca flour
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 garlic powder
2 tsp psyllium husk
Whisk until smooth and leave to thicken for 10mins. Make the guacamole while waiting.
Guacamole:
1 large avocado
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
Salt and pepper to taste
Mash avocado with a fork. Add onion & lemon juice and mix. Add chopped tomatoes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Medium heat a non-stick pan, add olive or coconut oil. Spoon 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side.
Note: You should be able to see bubbles coming through before flipping. I used a wire rack instead of plate to store the cooked fritters. This keeps them fresh.
Once corn fritters are all cooked, spoon guacamole and top with Forage & Ferment Wild Mexi Kraut and fresh coriander.
