Celebrate Daylight Savings With New-Season Eats From Farro!

Rejoice over summer’s impending arrival – as lighter evenings offer new ways to prepare seasonal goodies

It’s time to enjoy new-season asparagus, avocados and the first harvest of Curious Cropper tomatoes as you roll out the barbecue for a spot of al fresco dining this month.

FIRE UP THE BARBECUE WITH BUTTERFLIED LAMB

With the bone removed and the flesh flattened out, a butterflied leg of lamb takes just 30 minutes to cook in a hot oven (220°C is an ideal temperature) or on the barbecue on high heat – just be sure to flip once or twice during cooking. Let the butterflied lamb leg rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serve alongside herby new potato salad with steamed broccolini, or piled inside a flatbread with fresh slaw and plenty of sauce. Try Farro’s pre-seasoned butterflied lamb in either Moroccan or Rosemary & Garlic marinades. $24.99/kg

SEASONAL SPOTLIGHT: ASPARAGUS

The wait is finally over. One of the clear highlights on the produce calendar each year is the arrival of asparagus in October. Enjoy fresh asparagus slightly blanched and topped with chilli and grated parmigiano as a side dish, or jazz up your weekend eggs and hollandaise with little bundles of asparagus wrapped in pancetta and thrown on the barbecue until crisp. New-season asparagus is available in-store now.

A BEERY GOOD COLLABORATION

To mark the tenth anniversary of his eponymous Auckland restaurant, Sid Sahrawat has teamed up with Hallertau brewery for an exclusive new brew – Hallertau Dus Witbier with Sid Sahrawat. The beer boasts fruity citrus esters with a complex herbaceousness and a background of peppery notes courtesy of Sid’s signature spice blend – which sees classic flavour combinations of his childhood reworked with contemporary and local New Zealand ingredients. Hallertau Dus Witbier with Sid Sahrawat is available exclusively from Farro. $4.99/bottle.

IN SEASON: AVOCADOS

These delicious, authentic Lebanese dips are fantastic for serving alongside grilled lamb or to dive into if you’re hosting a rugby get-together during the Rugby World Cup. Try Kohkoz Hummus in two flavours – For the Love of Garlic or Baba Ghanoush. $6.99/180-200g.
