East Coast IPA Battered Barramundi Tacos with Spiced IPA Mayo – WINNER 2021 COMP

 2021 Winning Recipe By Cheryl Mishio

Congratulations to Cheryl for winning the 2021 Cooking Competition with this delicious recipe. 

Cheryl entered an incredible 15 recipes and while it was difficult to pick just one, we decided on her ‘East Coast IPA battered Barramundi tacos with Spiced IPA Mayo’. Congratulations Cheryl, amazing work!

TACOS

Ingredients

16 small pieces of skinless, boneless barramundi fillet (approx. the size of your index finger)

1/2 cup corn flour

12 small flour tortillas or wraps – lightly warmed/grilled on BBQ

Batter:

1 cup chilled Sydney Brewery East Coast IPA 

1 cup flour 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt & pepper 

 

Method

  1. Whisk all batter ingredients together until a smooth – lump free batter achieved…keep in refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed pot on stove top until approximately 170 degrees

  3. Dust each piece of barramundi with corn flour then dip into beer batter – cook in hot oil until golden brown (approx. 3 mins) careful not to overcrowd pot (cook 4 pieces at a time)

  4. Place a grilled tortilla on plate, top with Vegetable Salsa & crispy Beer Battered Barramundi, drizzle with Spiced IPA Mayo

Serve with coleslaw, lemon wedges & extra IPA Mayo on the side

My ratio for the Sydney brewery East Coast IPA Beer Batter is 1:1… one for the beer batter – one for me.

Porter Beef Stew

 By Sally Cinello 2021

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons oil 

500gm Diced beef 

1 Medium Brown Onion, diced thickly 

3 Tablespoons plain flour

1 Can chopped tomatoes

200ml Beef stock

200ml Smooth Talker Porter 

2 Large carrots, sliced into 1/2 cm discs 

3 Large Potatoes, peeled & cut into 2cm cubes

3 Bay leaves

Salt & Pepper 

 

Method

  1. Heat some of the oil in a large saucepan & brown the beef in batches, this will ensure the meat is braised/browned nicely as opposed to steamed. Place the beef aside on a plate. 
  2. In the saucepan you’ve just browned the meat in, add a little more oil if needed & fry the onion until golden. 
  3. Add the beef back in with the onions & add the flour, stirring until the flour has soaked up the oil & coated the meat. Cook for a few minutes. 
  4. Add the stock, canned tomatoes & Sydney Porter, slowly stirring as you do to make a nice gravy without lumps. 
  5. Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves and stir to ensure the liquid covers meat & vegetables.
  6. Season with salt/pepper to your individual taste. 
  7. Boil for 10 minutes & then transfer to a slow cooker & cook on low for 6 hours plus to tenderise the meat. If you’d prefer to do it on the stove then you need to add more stock (about 100ml) & simmer for an hour or so, until the meat is tender & veggies cooked. 

Serve with fresh bread, dumplings, savoury scones or tastes just as good with rice or any leftovers go well in a pie.
