This week our Mini Chefs (5~7yrs) will be making – Festive turkey wraps with cranberry sauce, bacon and spinach with sausage and orange segments.

Oranges are the stars of the produce aisle come winter, and they are so versatile. Orange juice, zest and flesh can all be used to add a sweet, juicy tang to both sweet and savoury dishes.

There are two main types of oranges: sweet oranges and bitter (Seville).
In Season: Oranges are at their peak between December and April.
Oranges are readily associated with the festive season along with Turkey. Did you know it is believed that that Henry VIII was the first person in Britain to eat turkey for his Christmas meal!

This week our Mini Chefs (5-7 yrs) will be making – Italian meatballs in a tomato & basil sauce.

Our meatballs are going to be super juicy full of goodness including meat, onions, bread, milk, herbs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, served in a tomato and basil sauce which you can serve at home with spaghetti or pasta of your choice.

Meatballs are known in Italy as polpette they are not served with pasta but in fact bread and nearly always include two meats normally beef, or veal & pork.

A tip to making soft meatballs is to use a panade – which is a mixture of starch like bread mixed with a liquid like milk which is then added to minced meat.

This week we will be using lots of skills to make our dish: Soaking mixing/combining and mashing, shaping into balls, pan frying, chopping and mincing simmering, sprinkling.

See you Saturday Mini Chefs.
