Ingredients

4 slices All time Milk Bread

250g peeled and deveined prawn

½ tsp lime juice

1 tsp soy sauce

½ tsp fish sauce

½ tsp oyster sauce

½ tsp oil

½ tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp garlic and ginger paste

1 tbsp cornflour

2 tbsp finely chopped onions

2 chopped green chillies

1 tbsp chopped coriander

Oil for frying

Method

Pat dry the prawns to get rid of any moisture and finely chop them such that they make a paste. Next, add lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, oil and mix them well. Add chopped onions, coriander, green chillies and combine.

Next, season the mixture with garlic-ginger paste and black pepper powder. Lastly, add cornflour and bind them together to get a mushy mixture. Next, cut the brown edges from All Time Milk Bread slices. Cut the remaining white part into little dices.

Take some of the prawn mixture onto your greased palm and roll them to form little balls. Roll the prawn balls onto the diced bread so that all sides are coated. Let this refrigerate for 30 minutes before deep frying them in hot oil.    

Flip them occasionally ensuring all sides are fried evenly and golden brown in colour. Once fully cooked, dredge them on a fine mesh sieve or kitchen towel to get rid of excess oil. Serve them with sweet chilli sauce or tomato ketchup.    
 

PANZANELLA SALAD

Ingredients

3 medium sized ripe tomatoes

2 tsp salt

5 slices All Time Milk Bread

6 tbsp olive oil

1 large red onion

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

½ tsp mustard

A handful of coriander leaves 

Method

Chop the tomatoes into bite size pieces and place them on a colander with a bowl beneath to collect the tomato juice. Sprinkle salt over them and toss to coat. Let this rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, take the slices of All Time Milk Bread and remove the edges; cut them into bite size cubes and sprinkle 3 tablespoons olive oil over them — toss to coat.

In a preheated oven at 180°C, bake the bread pieces for 10 minutes to form croutons. In the bowl with tomato juice, add balsamic vinegar, mustard, crushed garlic cloves and whisk to combine. Drizzle the remaining three tablespoons of olive oil in a thin streak while constantly whisking until it becomes a smooth dressing.

Once the bread croutons are toasted, throw them into a salad bowl with the diced tomatoes, chopped onions, chopped coriander leaves, and drizzle over the freshly made dressing. Toss everything well to combine and serve.

4 tbsp cheese spread

6 tbsp pizza sauce

3 sausages

6-8 pieces black olives
