ZUCCHINI BOATS

Another one pan wonder that tastes amazing and you can really have some fun with what you stuff into them. I just used the staples I have in my fridge this time - nothing too fancy.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:

4-6 zucchinis

bacon

capsicum

tomatoes

grated cheeses (your faves)

fresh herbs (I used basil)

seasoning

mushrooms

baking dish

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:

Wash & cut the zucchinis lengthways, then hollow them out using a soup spoon.

Chop all ingredients for the stuffing into small pieces and combine in a bowl.

Lay the zucchinis into the baking dish so they fit nice and snug. You may need to shave a flat surface on the underside so they don't roll over when stuffing.

Spoon in the stuffing, pack in as much as possible. Spoon any leftovers over the top.

Cover with cheese and sprinkle with various herbs & spices. I used S&P as well as dried tarragon leaves and ground sage.

Bake in the oven uncovered for approx. 30 mins or until cooked.

And this is what comes out... yum!

SLOW COOKED PORK WITH ORANGE (6 hours cooking time)

I have no words for how incredibly amazing this was. With only 3 ingredients plus your meat..it is packed with flavour..super tasty and the whole family will love it.

YOU WILL NEED...

2kg pork shoulder (I used boneless Free range from Otway) purchased at @KarveitUpGreensborough - love them!

Juice of 1 orange

Zest of 1 orange

1 leek sliced chopped

1/3 cup coconut amino sauce

Salt & Pepper

Coconut Oil

Slow cooker

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO...

1. Plug your slow cooker in and flick it onto high.

2. Heat some coconut oil in a fry pan on medium and throw the leek in, stir for a minute and then toss the orange zest in. Stir for another min.

3. If you have a large piece of pork as I did, chop it up into 4 large chunks so it is easier to position in the slow cooker.

4. Seal off the pork on each side in the pan by simply placing on top of the leek/orange zest mix in the fry pan. Just 30 seconds on each side if sufficient.

5. Place pork into the slow cooker evenly.

6. In the fry pan, add the coconut amino sauce and the orange juice. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Pour over meat in slow cooker.

7. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours.

To serve, simply shred the pork with a fork - it will literally fall apart. Pour juices over meat.

For a good ole Aussie style twist, take 1 cup of the slow cooker juice and place in a pan on the stove.  Add 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour to make the most magnificent gravy.

I served ours with roasted mixed root vegetables (sweet potato & pumpkin dusted with cinnamon & salt as well as white potato and carrot dusted with rosemary and salt) and greens of course.

Shut the front door. Ridic.
