Superbowl and US inspired food

Wow where did Febuary go - wizzed by in a blur of festival and sporting events and as I look back I realise how long it has been since my last post so I better get on to updating my blog.


What better excuse to theme up your weeks eating than a sporting event. The other week it was the NFL superbowl so this inspired a week of eating US style. Monday night during the superbowl it was Ribs and Samuel Adams beers - the perfect way to watch the game - though alas I was going for the Steelers who in the end went down.

Baring this theme in mind on the weekend I got to cracking on making some pickles for our mid week open steak sandwiches. I opted for the Zuni style pickles from the January Gourmet traveller. Made from zucchini and onions they were pickled in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard powder, mustard seed and turmeric. They looked great and still managed to have some crunch and definitely jazzed up the open steak sandwiches which were also served with semi-caramelised onions.
