Australia Day is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning your menu for the big day. Whether you’re throwing a backyard barbecue or a picnic in the park, we’ve got you covered with these delicious Australian recipes.
Start off with the iconic Aussie meat pie. It’s a staple at any Australian celebration and it’s sure to be a hit with your guests. You can make them mini-sized or go for the traditional size, but be sure to serve them hot and with a dollop of tomato sauce.
For a lighter option, try some prawn skewers. Thread some fresh prawns onto wooden skewers and drizzle with a little olive oil, lemon juice and finely chopped garlic. Grill them on the barbecue for a few minutes until they’re cooked through and serve with a side of aioli sauce.
If you’re looking for a refreshing dessert, you can’t go wrong with a pavlova. This classic Aussie dessert is made with a meringue base that’s crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Top it with some whipped cream and your favourite fresh fruits for a delicious summer treat.
Another Australian favourite is the lamington. These little sponge cakes are coated in chocolate icing and coconut flakes, making them the perfect sweet treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.
And of course, no Australia Day celebration would be complete without a cold beer or two. Serve up some ice-cold beers from your favourite Australian brewery and enjoy the day with your friends and family.
With these delicious recipes, you’re sure to have a memorable Australia Day celebration. Happy cooking!
