3 fresh new ways with frozen foods
This is a PSA (public service announcement) – there’s a world of riches waiting in the freezer section. From Southern-fried calamari to frozen blueberries and the greenest of peas, let us show you how the freezer section can make your life SO much easier (and more delicious).
Fried calamari wraps
Cook frozen Southern-fried calamari according to instructions. Serve in a grilled tortilla wrap with shaved fennel, red cabbage, sliced radish, sliced Granny Smith apples, coriander and coconut yoghurt.
Chef’s tip: Southern-fried calamari strips are a great addition to a platter.
Avo toast with peas and ricotta
Toast slices of ciabatta in a griddle pan until crispy and golden grown. Add a smear of ricotta or cream cheese, smashed, blanched frozen peas, fresh avocado, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
Easy homemade blueberry pie
Cut out a square of all-butter puff pastry and score the edges to form a border. Place on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and bake according to package instructions until puffed and golden. Top with tangy blueberries: melt 50 g honey over a low heat in a non-stick pan, add frozen blueberries and cook gently for 5–7 minutes until warm. Scoop onto the puff pastry, top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and serve. Ta da!
