The delicous McClure's Bloody Mary

Grilled Prawns & Leeks with Seaweed Butter is a delicious and unique recipe that pairs perfectly with our zero alcohol beverage NON3 Toasted Cinnamon & Yuzu. Ingredients: Serves 2 8 large prawns with head and shells on 2 tsp. Olive oil 1/2 onion, peeled and thinly sliced 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced 1 stalk celery, washed and thinly sliced Pinch of saffron 2 medium-sized leeks 80g butter 1 large clove of garlic, peeled and grated on a micro plane 1 tsp. Ginger, peeled and grated on a micro plane 1 tsp. finely chopped shio kombu or wakame 1 tsp. Soy sauce Juice and zest of 1/2 a lime Salt and pepper Method: Peel your prawns, leaving the tails on and reserving the heads and shells. In a large pot, heat 2 tsp. of olive oil over medium heat and add in the prawn shells. Sautee them until their shells turn bright pink and start to brown. Add the onion, carrot and celery and sautee for another minute. Add in the saffron and 800ml of cold water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes then strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer. Place the stock back in the pot and bring it to a vigorous simmer. Reduce it down to about 1⁄4 cup of liquid. This part can be done a day or two ahead and kept refrigerated. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Split the leeks in half down the entire length but keep the stem intact. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit which may be in between the layers. Blanch the leeks in the water for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain them from the water and allow them to steam and cool on a nearby plate. When ready to make your sauce, melt about 20g of butter in a small saucepan and add in the ginger and garlic and sizzle until fragrant, about a minute. Add in the reduced stock and the seaweed and bring to a gentle simmer. Dice the remaining butter and with the stock simmering slowly add in pieces of butter, whisking the whole time. When all the butter has been added, turn the heat off. Add in the soy sauce and lime juice and zest and taste for seasoning. Adjust with salt if needed. Keep warm and set aside. Place a medium size saucepan on your stove over medium-high heat. Toss the prawns with olive oil, salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, lay the prawns in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until completely opaque and pink. Remove them from the pan and set aside. Add in the leeks, cut side down and cook them until browned and heated through. To plate, place 4 prawns on each plate and layer them with the leek halves. Drizzle lots of butter sauce over everything and serve hot. Crack open your bottle of non-alcoholic NON3 Toasted Cinnamon & Yuzu and enjoy this delicate and sophisticated non alcoholic drink!

Tony’s Chocolonely Meringue Gingerbread Pie

GINGERBREAD PASTRY ⅓ Hakanoa Gingerbread recipe2 T soft butter for the pan and rubbing into the gingerbread70 g crystalized ginger, finely chopped THE FILLING 170 g Tony’s Chocolonely 70% dark chocolate, finely chopped120 g soft butter45 g caster sugar2 eggs2 egg yolks1 T vanilla essence or a splash of rum if that’s your thing!60 g sifted flour THE MERINGUE 3 egg whites200 g caster sugar1 t corn flour1 t ginger powder, sifted1 t vanilla essence½ t white vinegar1 T cacao powder, sifted TO SERVE A large handful of Fresh As freeze dried raspberriesSifted cacao powderCream if you wish! METHOD Press the ginger bread into your well greased Lil’ Legacy Pan. Push the gingerbread up a little higher than the pan’s rim. Rub the gingerbread liberally with soft butter then prick with a fork and chill for 20 minutes. Cut out a circle of baking paper larger than the pan, crumple it up and place on top of the gingerbread. Fill with rice or baking beans and bake at 180C for 12 minutes. Remove paper and rice/beans and return to oven for 5 minutes. The ginger bread should feel dry to the touch. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crust with crystallised ginger. Trim excess pastry by running a knife around the rim of the pan. And leave to cool as you make the filling. Melt the butter and chocolate together over a bain marie (bowl over boiling water) and set aside to cool a little. Beat whole eggs and egg yolks with sugar and vanilla or rum until frothy and pale. Fold in the flour then the melted chocolate and butter and mix well. Pour batter into your prepared cool gingerbread pastry case and bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. When you remove it from the oven, lower the temperature to 160°C. To make the meringue, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whisk the sugar in a tablespoon at a time and when it’s all incorporated, beat for a further minute. Fold in the corn flour, vanilla and vinegar. Finally sprinkle the cacao powder and ginger powder on top but don’t mix it in. If you mix it in, the meringue will go brown. If you don’t mix it in you’ll end up with cacao/ginger layers amidst the white meringue. Pile, peak and swirl the meringue on top of the hot pie, making sure it connects with the inner edge of the pastry. Bake in the lower level of your oven for 25 minutes at 160°C. Or until just crunchy to the touch. Run a knife around the edge of the pastry when the pie is still hot so it’s easier to cut later. Leave to cool, then chill. Dust in cacao powder, a big sprinkle of crumbled freeze dried raspberries and serve with lashings of love and gratitude.

Tony's Chocolate fritters

Ingredients:3 eggs1 tsp vanilla extract1/4 cup ricotta3/4 cup yogurt, whole milk1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup semolina flour3/4 cup all-purpose flour1/4 cup granulated sugar1 tbsp baking powder3/4 tsp saltjust a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon1 bar of Tony’s Chocoloney 70% dark chocolate, cut into small chunks Materials:WiskSmall bowlLarge bowlSpatulaSomethin' to cover your batter withSmall potIce cream scoop or spoonPaper towels Directions: Whisk together the eggs, vanilla, ricotta, yogurt, and honey in a small bowl. Set aside. Whisk together the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Using a spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until the dry ingredients are about halfway incorporated into the wet ingredients. Add some Tony’s and stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Let the batter sit for about an hour covered and at room temperature without stirring. Why? While the batter sits, the baking powder is activating, and making the mixture light and airy. So make sure not to stir, unless you like flat desserts, of course. In a small pot, heat a few inches of vegetable oil to 350 F. Carefully scoop golf ball size fritters a few at a time into the fry pot. Fry ‘em for about 2 minutes flipping the fritters halfway through. Drain on paper towels and, when cooled slightly, dust with powdered sugar. These are yummy on their own or served with orange curd, caramel, or (our favorite) chocolate sauce!

Tony's Chocolonely Whoopie! Pies

Whoopie! cookie Ingredients: ½ cup canola 1 ¾ cup sugar 4 oz Tony Chocolonely's dark or milk chocolate (2/3 of a big bar) 4 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup all purpose flour ¾ cup rye flour 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 2 Tbsp black cocoa powder (or regular cocoa) 1 ½ tsp baking powder 2 tsp kosher salt powdered sugar for rollin’ Buttercream ingredients: 2 egg whites ½ cup sugar Just a pinch of salt 2 oz Tony's Chocolonely milk chocolate (that's about 1/3 of a big bar) 2 Tbsp white sesame tahini Let's start with cookies In a double boiler melt the dark or milk chocolate so it’s ready for the coming steps. If ya don’t have a double broiler, a pot full of water with a glass or metal mixing bowl will do just fine! In a mixer with paddle attachment, mix the sugar and oil until nice ‘n combined. Now get your camera ready for some chocolate action, ‘cause it’s time to pour that melted chocolate in. You know, if ya hadn’t decided to use it as hot chocolate instead yet. Next, add eggs and vanilla one at a time. Mix ‘em up until they’re combined. Time to add in the dry ingredients! Mix them in until they’re just combined. Now that that’s done, your mixture should look like brownie batter, which is to say, very tempting. Put your batter in refrigerator at least 30 minutes - 1 hour, until it’s firm. Time to kick back and relax! If you’re looking for an activity to get you through the resting period, it’s just about the perfect amount of time to watch the Bitter Chocolate episode of Rotten on Netflix and learn a thing or two. Oh, and preheat your over to 350. To finish off your whoopie pie cookies, roll your cool dough into whatever ball size you’re lookin’ for. Then, roll your cookie ball in bowl of powdered sugar and bake ‘em at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Now for the buttercream Add egg whites, sugar, and salt in a heat proof bowl. Heat the mixture over a double boiler until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warmed through. Mix in a stance mixer (the mixer is real important here) with whisk attachment on high speed until meringue forms and the bowl is cool to the touch. Add butter slowly, scraping the bowl to make sure to get all that creaminess in there. Once the butter is fully incorporated, add melted chocolate and tahini. Salt to taste and seal with a chef’s kiss before enjoying.

tiny tony s’mores

What you’ll need: mini Stroopwaffels or Belgian waffles 10 oz bag of large marshmallows Tiny Tony’s - milk and/or dark 2 small, rimmed baking sheets lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray Instructions: Begin by turning the broiler setting on your oven or toaster oven on. Halve your marshmallows with a sharp knife sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. This’ll prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the knife. Place each half-cut side down onto pan. Broil and rotate your marshmallows for about 2 minutes, until your marshmallows are as toasty as you’d like. Then, pull the sheet out and let your marshmallows cool for a few minutes. Place either your mini Stroopwaffel or Belgian waffle piece on your other baking sheet. Now assemble your s’more with the marshmallows and Tiny Tony’s, topping with another Stroopwaffel or Belgian waffle (respectively) on top. For the final touch, you can place your baking sheet full of s’mores in a warm oven (325-350) for 2-3 minutes, until chocolate has just begun to melt. Last, but not least, take out and dig in!

Tony’s campfire cone s’mores

What you’ll need: 10 oz bag marshmallows or mini marshmallows Tony’s Chocolonely bar of your choice, broken into small pieces waffle cones tinfoil or eco foil campfire or grill with golden hot embers! Instructions: Start by spreading out enough tinfoil or eco foil to comfortably fit a waffle cone (and then some) inside. Take your cone and stuff it to the brim with chocolate and marshmallows. Make a small pouch by folding your piece of foil tightly around the base of your cone, then more lightly around the top of the cone. Place your foil pouch directly near the hot embers, but be careful, they’re real hot! Leave the pouch near your embers for about 30 seconds (or less!) to heat the s’more and melt all of the goodies inside. Carefully remove your foil pouch from the embers (sticks or skewers helps here), leave to the side until cool to the touch. Once your foil is cool enough to touch, slowly uncover it from top to bottom, and dig in! Hot tip: It’s a sticky situation! If you can set your foil pouch upright near your embers and remove/cool upright, it’ll help keep your cone from getting gooey and messy.

Piggy Bank | The Offering at Moore Wilsons

Makes One This sandwich features pulled pork and bacon, but the cheese and pickles are the star of the show. Experiment with a mix: cheddar and mozzarella are a great combination, but gouda, provolone, or even a sharp blue can take things up a notch. You can also add smoked paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, or basil to your butter for extra flavour. Ingredients: 2 slices of thick-cut sourdough/toastie bread Butter 100g of pulled pork (warm or room temperature) 2 slices streaky bacon, cooked until crisp 9 slices of McClure’s Bread & Butter Pickles 20g kimchi (well drained, chopped if chunky) 4 thin slices of Granny Smith or Pink Lady apple 10g storebought peri-peri aioli 100g cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Method Preheat your toastie press. Spread one side of each slice of bread with the butter. On one slice, on the unbuttered side, layer half of the cheese. Add layers of crisp bacon, pickles, kimchi, peri-peri aioli, sliced apple and pulled pork. Top your filling with remaining cheese, then add the second slice of bread (buttered side facing out). Place in the toastie press (or a pan over medium heat). Cook for 4–5 minutes, until golden brown, crisp, and the cheese is melted throughout. Take out of the press, lightly brush the outside with a touch more butter, then dust with grated parmesan for a golden finish.
