Cook Up With Donna Hay No 14...Pork Belly with Garlic, Caramelized Onion and Quince Sauce...

Another delicious Cook Up with Vicki  has happened here from Donna Hay magazine Issue 60 Dec/Jan 2012...

Menu tonight is:

Spiced Carrot Dip
Pork Belly with Garlic, Caramelized Onion and Quince Sauce
Roasted Baby Vegetable Salad
Mini Strawberry Tarte Tatins




Cumin and coriander seeds roasting for dip...


Add carrots, cayenne pepper, honey and chicken stock...


and the most delicious dip is ready after a little while...yummy...


The recipe called for malt vinegar (not gluten free) so after some research for a substitute I bought Red Wine Vinegar...


Pork Belly ready for oven...with our thyme on it...


And out of the oven...




Roasted vegies...beetroot, parsnip, carrot and kipfler potatoes...


There was even a heart shaped potato!!!



This meal was full of flavour...we thoroughly enjoyed it!!!


Patchwork placemats and table runner bought at my local Needlework Group...
These were made by a lady who cannot sew anymore...




Butter, sugar, water and vanilla bean for dessert...


Strawberry Tarte Tatin out of the oven...
recipe for these over here...


looks a bit of a jumble but this sure packed a punch...so very very tasty!!!

Now I'm looking forward to the next Cook Up...
