Method
Ingredients
1. Place the Woolworths Double Cream Plain Yoghurt in a lined or cheesecloth and secure with a piece of string. Suspend above a small bowl overnight. Discard the whey the next morning.
2. Place the corned beef tongue, along with all the other ingredients, in a pressure cooker, adding more liquid, if necessary, to ensure the tongue is covered. Cook for about 90 minutes.
3. Remove from the hot liquid and leave to cool for 5 minutes. While still warm, remove the skin and discard along with the cooking liquid.
4. Make the marmalade: place the blood orange and lemon juice and peels in a small pot and dissolve the sugar over low heat. Add the water and bring to a boil until it reaches about 220°C on a sugar thermometer. Alternatively, drop a teaspoon’s worth onto a plate; the little puddle should set and then wrinkle when pushed with your finger.
5. Heat the croissants in a preheated oven of 200°C for 5 minutes. Thinly shave the tongue and layer the labneh, tongue and marmalade in the toasted, hot croissants.
6. Blend the rose falooda, frozen blackberries – reserving ¼ cup for garnish – and yoghurt together. Pour into cups or short glasses and sprinkle the chocolate granola on top and serve with reserved frozen berries.
7. Melt the butter in a large pan. Warm the flapjacks on each side for about 2 minutes. Stack onto a plate and top with lemon curd and raspberries. Serve immediately with lashings of maple syrup
