Place chopped veggies and rosemary into baking tray and cover generously with Moro Frutal Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Moro Fig Vincotto.

8 Baby beetroot , ½ Cup uncooked quinoa, Moro Classic Vincotto , 1/3 Cup Moro Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 150g Pepita seeds, 1/2 Cup goats cheese, 150g Spinach leaves, 150g Rocket leaves
Preheat the oven to 220C. Cook quinoa as per packet instructions. Drain off any excess water and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Set it aside to cool.
Place the beetroots into cold water with a pinch of salt. Bring the water to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain off the beetroots, letting them cool and remove the skins. Combine the Moro Classic Vincotto, Moro Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the beetroots in the dressing and place on a roasting tray. Roast for half an hour or until cooked through. Once cooked remove the skins of the beetroots.
Place rocket into a serving bowl, add the roasted beetroots and any liquid left over from the roasting. Top with goats cheese and pepita seeds. Drizzle with Moro Vincotto and Moro Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then serve.
300g Carnaroli or Arborio rice, 500ml Vegetable stock, Mushroom ragu, 50g unsalted butter, 100g Moro Primero extra virgin olive oil , 150g white wine , 50g Parmigiano Reggiano, ½ brown onion, 2 garlic cloves , 1 celery stick , 1 carrot, Mushroom Ragu:, 250g dried porcini soaked overnight , 250g sliced button mushrooms, 250g sliced portobello mushroom, 250g shitake mushroom, 2tbl tomato paste, 1 bottle dry white wine, reduced to half its original volume., 1 Onion, 1 Clove of garlic, 125g Moro Primero extra virgin olive oil , A pinch of sugar
Mushroom Ragu:
Warm the oil in and then add the onion and garlic. Cut mushrooms into thin slices, then pan fry and add to risotto, once browned. Add tomato paste, white wine reduction and a pinch of sugar. Cook for additional 30 mins, season to taste.
Heat the stock. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, trim and finely chop the celery. Finely grate the Parmesan.
In a separate pan, heat the oil and 1 small knob of butter over a low heat, add the onions, garlic and celery, and fry gently for about 15 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.
Add the rice and turn up the heat – the rice will now begin to lightly fry, so keep stirring it. After 1 minute it will look slightly translucent. Add the wine and keep stirring
Once wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of sea salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesn’t cook too quickly on the outside.
Add the mushroom ragu.
Keep adding ladlefuls of stock, stirring and almost massaging the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. This will take around 15 minutes. Taste the rice — is it cooked? Carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite. Don’t forget to check the seasoning carefully. If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water.
Remove the pan from the heat, add 1 knob of butter and the Parmesan, then stir well.
Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 minutes – this is the most important part of making the perfect risotto, as this is when it becomes outrageously creamy and oozy like it should be. Eat it as soon as possible, while the risotto retains its beautiful texture
3 Tomatoes, diced, 1 Red capsicum, diced, Handful of capers, 1 Garlic clover, chopped, Parsley, Moro Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sfilatino or other Italian crusty bread, 1/2 cup Buffalo mozzarella, Moro Balsamic Vinegar, to taste (optional)
Slice and toast Sfilatino. In a small pot, slightly fry off garlic, capers and red capsicum. Set aside and let infuse for 15 minutes. Combine ingredients together in a bowl with parsley and season to taste. Top the toasted bread and add mozzarella.
600g Brushed potatoes pealed and sliced roughly into 5-7 mm thick, 200ml Moro Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil , 1 Medium onion halved and thinly sliced, 12 Free range eggs
Heat the oil in a 25-30 cm non-stick fry pan and add the potatoes, they should all fit in one batch. Cook on a gentle heat until soft not brown. Remove from pan and then add the onions to the hot oil and cook until they are soft and sweet then remove from oil. Drain the hot oil leaving behind around 30ml. In a large bowl beat the 12 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, then add the warm potato and onion mix well. Return the mixture to the pan. The pan must be hot when the mixture is returned otherwise is may stick to the sides making it difficult to flip. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5-8 min. Place a plate on the top of the pan and gently flip the tortilla onto the plate. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve hot as is or with garlic aioli.

In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, allow to sit for 10 minutes to sour to make buttermilk. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the vanilla, buttermilk and egg in a separate bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until batter is just combined (some lumps are fine). Fold in the melted butter and let the batter stand at room temperature. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour a small amount of batter in the pan and let cook until bubbles form on the centre on the pancake. Flip the pancake and cook until cooked through and it’s golden brown. Continue this process for all the pancakes until all the batter is used up. To make the caramelised apple: melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add apple and cook until golden. Add sugar and cream and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until sauce thickens and apple is tender. Place apples on top of pancakes and serve immediately.
