Join Leigh for a special food journey to discover delicious dishes from Spain’s Basque region. Using speciality produce and seasonal, local ingredients, Leigh will show you how to create: two different pintxos (the Basque version of tapas) – smoked sardine on toast with almond cream and pimento, and coca de tomate, tomato tart with Shaw River buffalo curd; charcoal grilled seasonal brassicas – broccoli, kale and Brussels sprouts – with cauliflower cream and manchego, a hard sheep’s milk cheese from the La Mancha region; thinly sliced ruby snapper and scallop ceviche garnished with radish and tomato; Flinders Island lamb neck, slow cooked in mojo, a spicy, hot and sweet red pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, wine vinegar and olive oil sauce, with local native saltbush, white beans, jamon and pimento piquillo, a variety of chilli pepper; and for an irresistible, the famous Basque style baked cheesecake.
