Recipe –         Farmhouse pickles by Mike

This recipe is a general ‘all rounder’ pickle recipe, suitable to pickle almost any kind of vegetable. Including; carrot, baby beet, green tomatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, radish, wombok, baby onion, brussel sprouts, red radish.

Ingredients:

2 Litre apple cider vinegar

1 kilo castor sugar

1 cup coriander seeds

1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds

1/4 cup black mustard seeds

1/4 cup fennel seeds

  Method: Chop your selected vegetables into small pieces. The smaller they are the quicker they will pickle. Place into sterilized jars.

Place all ingredients (including spices) in a saucepan and bring them to the boil. Once it reaches the boil, turn off the heat and then allow it cool.

Cover the vegetables with the vinegar mixture, seal the jars and allow them to cool completely before checking the seals & storing.

Top 5 Things to think about when ordering produce;

When are you using it - do you need it ripe it or firm?

Product use - Are you juicing or presenting this produce? 1sts or 2nds? Clarity about the use of the product will give you the best result (and the best value)

Size does matter! Specifications can be as detailed as you like, but remember "the size of my thumb" is hard to quantify. Try to use a more specific measure.

Precision of Quantity - how much do you need….exactly?

Seasonality – Buying products in season is always best - they have the best flavour & are most likely to offer better value. 

Finally…what time do you need the delivery?

Time to let our customers do the talking….Thank you Bern

"Murdoch Produce has been supplying Bern the Chef for 10 YEARS!!"

"My client base trusts me, and my experience, to hand over gorgeous made with consistent delicious dining every time, and I do this by having the best of everything at my fingertips. This means a dependable hard working vehicle, beautiful serving platters, organza ribbon, impeccable willing waiters and chefs, and amazing produce.

Murdoch Produce deliver my orders to our Southern Aurora train charters, and Super Yacht Marinas, as well as to our kitchen, all packed with care and consideration, straight from the market. Everyone asks ALL the time ‘where do you buy your produce from?’ and every time, I get to say “I have a fantastic produce supplier!” I love telling people this, it gives them the opportunity to see that there is better out there in produce land than just the usual average vegie supplier. And it makes them curious to seek out better for themselves, that’s win win for everyone. Regular Market Updates means I know what they know and adjust menus accordingly. When they can, a discount comes my way, and I’m grateful for that as any business would be. Murdoch Produce mirrors my business in terms of core values and integrity. We all need more of this in the food world for the farmers, the apple pickers, the truck drivers, and the middle of the night vegie packers. It’s a long line of love from growing potatoes to that silky paris mash on your fork. Don’t discount that. Every now and then, another supplier will visit and ask me to try them, but I have no need. I’m ecstatic with what I have now, why would I change?"
