Meals in paradise..
So I was in Vanuatu visiting Dad and decided I would cook for them one night. I wanted to make the most of the amazing local produce so I went off to the local markets which are such a food cultural inspiring experience. Absolutely surrounded by amazing tropical fruit and veg, I couldn't go past the avocados as big as coconuts! Seriously they are HUGE, not to mention really cheap. So for entree I made guacamole with crispy garlic batar (french bread from local french patisserie).
Vanuatu has the most AMAZING organic beef in the world! It is so tender and juicy and flavoursome! Even Lily says it's the most amazing beef she has ever had! So I marinated it overnight in Soy sauce, garlic, olive oil and honey (local honey) which is my favourite steak marinade. I then did garlic beans and kumala (sweet potatoe) mash as sides. Simple yet exquisite. The beef is definitely the star of the show!
Then for dessert I did tropical fresh fruit salad, which I am not sure where the photo is.
Anyway try the steak marinade! Please! You will LOVE IT! and go to Vanuatu! It's incredible! and eat steak! and coconut crab!
