Cookbook Challenge The Grocery Shopper. The Audience on the Last Mile. When was the last time you stopped to think about how you grocery shop? Are you a list maker? Perhaps you look for inspiration when inside the supermarket? Are you loyal to the brands you buy or influenced by special offers? Despite most shoppers claiming they know what they want to buy, almost 20% impulsively buy in categories they had no intention to buy from before entering the store. And given how many different brands exist on shelves in each category, activating brands at the point of sale is essential otherwise shoppers will switch. Of course, media activity away from the supermarket is important and creates consumption, desire and plants the seed, but continuing media activity at the store will engage The Shopper! i.e. ‘The Chooser”. To celebrate ‘The Grocery Shopper. The Audience on the Last Mile’, Exterion Media set you a challenge, to show off your culinary skills by sharing your favourite recipe with us. The response was totally mouth-watering to say the least. We now have the shortlisted entries, presented to you in this a handy cookbook.

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C. • 1 packet of corn tortilla wraps • 1 large ripe avocado • 1 large tomato • 1 medium red onion • 1 medium garlic clove • 1 lime • 1 red chilli • Fresh coriander • Salt and pepper to season 1. Pre-heat oven to 140 degrees C. 2. If you’re using the traditional round Cumberland sausage, tuck the garlic and most of the sage leaves between the layers of sausage. If you’re using normal sausages, untwist the links and squeeze the meat through, rolling them into a tight circle and pushing in the garlic and sage as you go. (This will give the sausages a terrific flavour). 3.Secure the sausages with a couple of skewers or some sharp rosemary stalks. Place them on an oiled baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle them with rosemary leaves. Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden. 4.Five minutes before the sausages are ready, remove the baking tray from the oven, place the rest of the sage leaves next to the sausages, drizzle with olive oil, and return the tray to the oven. The leaves will go lovely and crispy. 5.While the sausages are cooking, chop your potatoes into rough chunks and boil them in salted water until cooked. 6.Drain well, using a colander, then return them to the pan. Mash until smooth, adding the milk and 70g of the butter. 2. Chop corn tortillas into eighths so shaped like nacho triangles. 3. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and stick into the oven to crisp. 4. These should take no longer than 10 mins; keep an eye on them so they don’t burn! 5. Finely chop the tomato, red onion, garlic clove and chilli. 6. Remove avocado from skin and using a fork roughly mash in a large bowl. 7. Cut lime and squeeze juice into the avocado. Mix and taste until happy with amount of lime juice. 8. Add in chopped ingredients and mix thoroughly. 9. Roughly chop coriander and mix through and season to taste with salt and pepper. 10.The tortillas should be crispy and warm now so remove from oven. 11. Enjoy homemade warm tortillas crisps with fresh and tasty homemade guac! 7.Season well to taste, then put the lid on the pan and keep warm at the back of the stove. 8.Making the onion gravy is simple. Fry the onions really slowly in a little oil, cover and cook for about 15 minutes until soft. 9.Remove the lid, turn up the heat and, as soon as the onions become golden brown, pour in the vinegar and boil until it almost disappears. 10.Turn down the heat, add the rest of the butter, crumble in your stock cubes and 2¼ cups (560ml) water and stir well. Let this simmer until you have a nice gravy consistency. 11.To serve, dollop some oozy potatoes on the plate, chop up the sausages (discarding the skewers), put them alongside the mash and spoon over the onion gravy. Scatter with the crispy sage leaves. 4 Cookbook Challenge Frequency 85% grocery shop at least once a week, with 1 in 3 shopping 2-3 times a week (Source: work.shop.play. Food, Glorious Food).

Sprinkle gelatine into the water in a jug/small bowl and in a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until the gelatine dissolves and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 5. Beat the cheese, cream, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl or processor.

Cut 185g unsalted butter into cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. Melt butter and chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan on low heat. Remove the bowl and leave the mixture to cool to room temperature. 2. Now make a basic risotto, sweat finely chopped onions in some butter over a low heat for a few minutes, add two cloves of minced garlic (not traditionally in risotto, but I like garlic and I’m making it), cook for another few minutes, turn up the heat and add the rice. Stir for a minute or two, until all the rice is coated, then throw in a large glass of wine and stir until it has all evaporated. 3. Now set a sieve over the pan and pour in the mushroom infused water, give your mushrooms a squeeze and then chop them roughly and throw them in too. Do this quickly as you should be stirring the rice at the same time. Add some salt (approx. 1 tsp). When the liquid has completely evaporated add a ladle of hot stock one at a time, stirring all the time. Continue like this until the rice is al dente (approx. 20mins). 4. Check the seasoning then add a handful of grated Parmesan and a knob of butter, fold it in, if it is at all dry now, add a little more stock to loosen it-it should be oozy. Now you will have to resist the temptation to eat the risotto at this point as you have to spread it out on a baking tray and leave it to go completely cold. In order to distract yourself at this point drink some wine! 5. Have some beaten egg in a bowl and a plate of fine breadcrumbs or Panko if you can get it. Chop your mozzarella into dice sized chunks. Wet your hands and take some cold risotto, place the mozzarella in the middle and shape the risotto around it to from a ball. Dip in the egg, roll in the breadcrumbs, and then do your next one. 6. Preheat a deep fat fryer (or a large pan of oil – be careful now, no messing about at this stage) to around 170, carefully lower in your arancini balls and cook until golden brown (approx. 5 mins). 7. Drain on kitchen paper, and then devour their oozy, mushroomy, cheesy goodness with the rest of the wine, if there is any left. 2. Preheat the oven on to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Line the base of a shallow 20cm square tin with baking parchment. Sieve 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a bowl. 3. Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks. 4. Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and add 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and creamy. This can take 3-8 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes pale and about double its original volume. 5. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, and then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Continue to fold until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. 6. Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and re-sieve the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout. Now your mixing is done and the oven can take over. 7. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and easing the mixture into the corners of the tin. Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 minutes. 8. Open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. 9. Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles. 30 Cookbook Challenge Cookbook Challenge 31 Yummy Lamb Curry Warming Pork Noodles Lamb Kofta Curry Prep time Cook time Serves 15-30 mins15-30 mins 4 Credit Catherine Kirkpatrick, LyleBailie International Shopping List Directions • 600g Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured lean lamb leg steak, thinly sliced • ½ large onion, chopped • A little olive oil for frying • 1 clove of garlic, crushed • 3 level teaspoons of Madras curry powder • 400ml coconut milk • ½ lamb stock cube • 2 heaped teaspoons of tomato puree • 1 teaspoon mango chutney • 1 small handful of coriander leaves, chopped • 1 small handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped • 4 spring onions, chopped 1.
