Try these great recipe ideas using Boosey Creek Cheese.



Grated Burramine Blue Cheese on steak.


Cook your favorite steak until just cooked as you like it. Wrap the steak in foil, sealing the sides and edges. Turn your grill on. Let the meat relax for 5 minutes and then unwrap and sprinkle with grated Burramine Blue Cheese and place under the grill. Be ready to serve as soon as the cheese has melted. Enjoy!!


Grated Burramine Blue Cheese on pizza.


Replace about half of your final covering of cheese with Grated Burramine Blue Cheese to the top of any home made pizza, the other half usually being a Mozzarella.


Try this delicious homemade gourmet recipe:


I x large pizza base

3 x tablespoons of tomato paste

1 x teaspoon of garlic

1 x half teaspoon oregano

1 x cup mozzarella cheese

1 x teaspoon chilli powder (optional)

1 x half cup Boosey Creek Grated Burramine Blue Cheese

Sliced salami

Kabana

Sun dried Tomatoes

Sliced capsicum

Thinly sliced onions

Pitted black olives (sliced or whole)


Combine the Tomato paste, garlic, oregano and chilli together and let it sit for a few minutes and then spread over the pizza base.

Layer the base with the onion, then your favorite salami, then sliced Kabana, the capsicum, sundried tomatoes and finally the olives. Combine the Mozzarella cheese and the grated Burramine Blue cheese and sprinkle over the top. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15-20 mins or until the cheese has melted and slightly browned on top. Perfecto!


Soups


Try sprinkling Grated Burramine Blue Cheese on the top of your Pea and Ham, Minestrone or Tomato soup. In fact try it on any type of soup!!


Salads


Add Grated Burramine Blue Cheese to the top of a warm chicken Caesar salad. Gorgeous!

Add Grated Burramine Blue Cheese to any green salad. Best Ever!


Pasta


As a tasty change to Parmesan and tasty cheese, sprinkle grated Burramine Blue Cheese over ANY Pasta dish. Superb!


More great steak ideas!

Steak and Boosey Creek Soft (Camembert Style)


A couple of minutes before your favorite steak is cooked to your liking, add sliced Camembert style Boosey Soft cheese with the rind removed (only for the look, I actually leave in on – tastes great) to the top of the steak. Turn the heat to very low or off and cover the pan/skillet until the cheese is melted. Wrap the steak in foil, sealing it around the edges, peaking at the top to avoid sticking to the cheese and let it relax for a few minutes and then serve. Melt in your Mouth!!


Steak/Chicken ‘Parmaboosey’ using Tungamah Tasty


Method 1.


Warm Bologaise MeatSauce

Thinly sliced capsicum

Boosey Creek Tungamah Tasty Cheese

1 x teaspoon Minced Garlic

Paprika

Cook steak or chicken fillet to your liking. Top with a thin layer of the Bologaise sauce. Combine the capsicum and garlic and spread on top of the bolognaise sauce. Place under the grill for a minute and then top with sliced Tungamah Tasty cheese and a sprinkle of Paprika. Return to Grill until the cheese is melted and serve. Mmmmm!


Method 2. (Only for heat lovers)


1 x onion slice

1 x teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1 x teaspoon chilli flakes

1 x teaspoon garlic

I x sliced green capsicum

1 x half sliced red capsicum

Hot salami cut into strips

1 x cup of grated Tungamah Tasty Cheese.


Place all ingredients into a saucepan except cheese, with a tablespoon of oil and cook until soft. Cook steak or chicken fillet to your liking and then remove. If using steak, wrap and seal in foil for a few minutes to relax. Top the steak/chicken with the combined onion,capsicum etc mix and then spinkle with Boosey Creek Tungamah Tasty Cheese. Place under the crill until the cheese is melted and golden on top.

Putting Victoria on your Menu

We have just returned from Sydney, following our participation in Restaurant 2008, where we were part of the contingency from Regional Development Victoria. This event showcased a range of food producers from Regional Victoria.

We met lots of people and received plenty of positive feed-back from restaurateurs, chefs, students and food lovers. Our Boosey Blue was very popular and the Warby Red took a few people by surprise. Oma's Favourite was everybodies favourite!

If you visited our stand and are ready to place an order you can email us at info@booseycreekcheese.com.au or phone us on 0357484374.

We will be at the Australian Specialist Cheese Show at Palladium Room, Crown Towers Hotel, Crown Entertainment Complex on Sunday. You can meet our son Ken, our chief cheesemaker, and his wife, Margi. Visit us at the stand for tastings.

Time: 8am-1pm

Entry: It will cost $2 and you can stay all day

NEW LINE

Grated Burramine Blue.

The great flavour of our dry aged blue cheese, but grated. Your crackers might not like it, but it'll be fantastic in blue cheese sauce or on top of bruschetta.

Cheers,
Bruce

See you at market!

We will be at the Regional Farmers' Markets this weekend. Saturday's market is at Bundoora Park on Plenty Road and starts at 8am. The Heathmont Market is Sunday and starts at 9 am.

For those of you that missed out on Oma's Favourite (our Gouda cheese) last month, we are happy to tell you that we have plenty with us this weekend. We also have a good supply of Tungamah Tasty. For lovers of blue cheese, we have plenty of Boosey Blue, but Burramine Blue lovers will have to wait until we are down for the next market. Watch this space for where and when!

We are hoping for lots of rain at home for the farm, and fine weather in Melbourne for the markets; see you there.
