Roasted Red Peppers with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Method: Slice the peppers in 2, remove the white parts and seeds inside and place under a hot grill for 30 minutes, skin side up. When the skins go black, remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl covered with plastic wrap to let them cool down for a few moments – they will “sweat”. When cool enough to handle, peel the skins off and slice the flesh into long strips. Pour over the vinegar, olive oil, garlic and season generously with salt & pepper. Mix well. Sprinkle the almonds on top and serve with fresh basil leaves.

Apple and Chicken Crystal Spring Rolls

Serves 6 These are really delicious, fresh, crunchy and tasty.  They are easy to make even though they take a little time to put together. The trick is to soak one at a time as they are very delicate, and by the time you have filled one, the next one will be ready to roll with a little help from a friend. Everything is placed on the table with a few bowls of warm water and you roll them straight onto your plate, then dip and get transported to taste heaven. Tip: You can make these up to 2 hours in advance. Just keep them moist by covering with a damp tea towel.
