500 ml cream ½ cup sugar 2 vanilla pods, seeds removed

2 oranges, zest Butter, for frying

Serves 12-16

Preparation time 30 minutes, plus setting time

Cooking time 1 hour 30 minutes

METHOD

Panettone 1. Grease and line the DGG 3 unperforated steam container and set aside. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and zest until combined. 3. Slice the panettone into thirds and then cut each third vertically in half. Have the long end of the panettone facing you, and cut into 1.5cm-2cm slices. 4. Place the panettone slices into the prepared steam container, and press down to fit. 5. Pour over half of the egg mixture and then push down the panettone so it soaks up the mixture. Pour over the rest of the mixture and once again make sure the panettone is fully submerged. 6. Place the steam container in the combi steam oven on shelf position 2. Select Combi Mode + Fan Plus at 160°C + 50% moisture and bake for 60 minutes. 7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before placing in the refrigerator to allow the pudding to set fully for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight. Peaches 1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. 2. Preheat a griddle plate on a medium heat, induction setting 6. 3. Halve the peaches and remove the stone, brush the brown sugar mix over the cut side of the peach. 4. Place the peaches, cut side down onto the griddle plate and grill for 2-3 minutes, or until you have started to achieve a caramelised crust and the peaches begin to soften. Flip over and grill for a further 60-90 seconds, depending on the firmness of the peach. French toast 1. Remove the panettone pudding from the steam container, cut in half lengthways and slice thickly, approximately 3cm in thickness. Remove any uneven edges to form neat rectangular slices. 2. Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, induction setting 6 and add 2 tablespoons of butter. 3. Once the butter has melted and the frying pan is hot, add a few pieces of the sliced panettone to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Caramel sauce 1. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter. Place on medium-high heat, induction setting 7, and whisk until the mixture is bubbling and the sugar has dissolved. 2. Whisk in the cream and remove from heat. To serve 1. Place two pieces of French toast onto a plate, with half a grilled peach and a drizzle of caramel sauce. HINTS AND TIPS • Leftover slices of French toast can be frozen prior to frying. • For a salted caramel sauce, simply whisk in 2 teaspoons of salt after you have added the cream. • Any stone fruits can be substituted for the peaches.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

Cooking programme Moisture Plus and Steam

2 kg pork loin 2 tbsp salt flakes 2 tbsp olive oil

Miele accessories Grilling and roasting insert Multi-purpose tray Unperforated steam container

Apple sauce 4 granny smith apples 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice 2 tbsp butter Pinch of salt flakes

Serves 8-12

Preparation time 10 minutes, plus drying time

Cooking time 1 hour 30 minutes

METHOD

1. Remove all packaging from the pork and pat dry with paper towel. Place in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to dry out. 2. Preheat oven on Moisture Plus at 250°C with 1 manual burst of steam. Using your hands, rub the oil and salt into the pork. 3. Place the pork on a grilling and roasting insert on a multi-purpose tray and insert the food probe into the thickest part of the meat, making sure the food probe is fully inserted. 4. Place the pork into the oven on shelf position 2. Select a core temperature of 60°C, releasing the burst of steam immediately. Set the minute minder for 30 minutes. 5. Once the minute minder has sounded, reduce the temperature to 160°C and continue to cook until the core temperature is reached. 6. Once the pork is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Apple sauce 1. Peel, core and dice the apples.

2. Place the apples into an unperforated steam container with the Chinese 5 spice, butter and salt. 3. Place into the steam oven and Steam at 100°C for 15 minutes, or until the apple is completely soft. 4. Process the apple with a stick blender, until you have reached the desired consistency, transfer the contents into a bowl and keep to the side until ready to serve. To serve 1. Carve the pork with a serrated knife to enable easier slicing through the crackle, place pork on a large platter and serve with the apple sauce. HINTS AND TIPS • When purchasing pork, try to purchase a piece that is not stored in plastic packaging, as this will have a drier skin, which will result in a crispier crackle. • If pork has been in plastic packaging for too long, it can be nearly impossible to generate a good crackle. Allowing the skin to dry out in the refrigerator for a day or two prior to roasting is a crucial step. The pork can be left up to 3 days uncovered, the longer it is left, the better the crackle will be.

Turkey 1. Remove the legs and keep aside. Remove the backbone along with the ribcage. This will leave you with the two turkey breasts on the crown and two individual turkey marylands. 2. Remove the wings from the turkey crown. The wings and backbone can be used for a gravy. 3. Debone the turkey legs and remove the bone like tendons. Place the legs skin side up and beat with a meat hammer to flatten out and to give you a rectangular piece of meat. 4. Place all the brine ingredients into a large container or bucket and place the turkey crown and legs into the brine. Place in the refrigerator to brine for a minimum of 12 hours, no longer than 36 hours. 5. Remove the turkey from the brine and place onto a cake rack, with the cake rack on a tray. Place back into the refrigerator to dry age for up to 2 days. 6. Place both turkey legs, skin side down onto a chopping board with the long edge facing you. Using your hands place the stuffing along the long edge of the turkey leg, whilst trying to press the stuffing into a sausage shape. 7. Carefully roll the leg together to enclose the stuffing and give you a uniformed roll of meat. Tie the roll together with some kitchen twine and set aside. Repeat with the other leg. 8. Place the turkey glaze ingredients into a medium sized saucepan and cook on medium heat, induction setting 6, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5-10 minutes. 9. To cook the turkey, create a user programme:

Stage 1: Combi Mode + Fan Plus + 225°C + 15 minutes + 70% moisture Stage 2: Combi Mode + Fan Plus + 200°C + 15 minutes + 35% moisture Stage 3: Combi Mode + Fan Plus + 180°C + Core temp 60°C + 10% moisture

10. Place the turkey into an extra-large oven dish, and place on shelf position 2 insert the food probe into one of the turkey breasts. Set a minute minder for 20 minutes. Once the minute minder has sounded, remove the turkey and generously baste with the glaze. Place back into the oven and set another minute minder for 20 minutes, and once again remove the turkey and generously apply the glaze. Return to the oven and roast until the core temperature has been reached. Stuffing 1. Preheat a frying pan on medium heat, induction setting 6. Add the onion, olive oil and a pinch of salt and slowly cook the onions until nicely caramelised. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, and stir through the sage. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. 2. In a bowl, mix together the sausage meat, nuts and the cooked onion mixture.

To serve 1. Once cooked, allow the turkey to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving and serving with the gravy.

MEASUREMENT AND REFERENCE GUIDE

Helpful tips • Dry ingredients are weighed using metric scales, cups and spoon measures. Use the edge of a knife to level the ingredient. • Liquid ingredients are is measured using scales and measuring jugs. Always measure on a flat surface to check at eye level. • All recipes have been developed using tablespoons that hold 20 ml (4 teaspoons).

• Eggs are from a 700 g carton, unless otherwise specified. • Egg yolks are 20 g each and egg whites are 30 g in weight. • Bring eggs and meat to room temperature prior to using. • Butter is salted, unless specified.

• Ensure you're using the correct pots and pans on induction - quality equipment leads to consistent results. • We have suggested oven shelf levels as a guide only. When using the fan, position the shelves to ensure heat is circulated throughout the cavity. When using the grill, position the food close enough to crisp or char, but not too close to burn. • Store food at the correct temperature in your refrigerator and freezer to maximise shelf-life. Miele's PerfectFresh technology creates the ideal humidity and temperature. Taste and nutrition are preserved and the shelf-life of the food is maximized. Incredibly, this technology means that produce stays fresher for up to five times longer!
