This week: The Prelim Finals Assortment Myles discusses one great drop from Queensland, Adelaide, NSW and Geelong BSF brought to us by Red Energy BOOK: Caro has a book: The Sportswriter by Richard Ford SCREEN: Caro has a Screen: The Perfect Couple on Netflix Thank you to Cobram Estate Olive Oil FOOD: Corrie has a Recipe: From the new Ottolenghi cookbook Comfort: Linguine with miso butter, shitake and spinach 190g dried linguine (or spaghetti) 1tbsp olive oil 10g unsalted butter, fridge-cold, cut into 2cm cubes 1banana shallot, finely chopped (75g) 150g fresh shiitake mushrooms, roughly sliced 3garlic cloves, crushed 50g white miso paste 1tsp light soy sauce I tbsp Chinkiang black (or malt) vinegar 150g baby spinach leaves salt and black pepper To serve shichimi togarashi (or chilli flakes) lemon or lime wedges The butter, miso and cooking water al combine to emulsify and coat the linguine here in the most comforting of al sauces. It's totally creamy without the use of any cream, and is perfect for an easy mid-week supper. Ingredients note: The suggestion to add togarashi - the Japanese 7-spice mix - feels fusion and works well, but some regular chili flakes and a really (really!) good crack of black pepper works brilliantly too. Serves 2 Bring a large saucepan with 2litres of water to the boil. Ad 1teaspoon of salt, followed by the pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain, saving 200ml of the cooking water. Meanwhile, put the oil and 15g of the butter into a large sauté pan and place on a medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook for about 5minutes, until soft but not taking on any colour. Add the mushrooms, along with a good grind of pepper, and cook for about 7minutes, until the moisture has evaporated and they are starting to brown. Add the garlic, miso, soy sauce and vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds until combined. Add the reserved pasta-cooking water, mxi well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and, keeping the mixture at a good simmer, ad the remaining 85g of butter piece by piece, stirring constantly until the sauce has emulsified and thickened slightly: this should take about 3minutes. Return the cooked pasta to the pan, toss for 30 seconds, then add the spinach. Toss and turn for a minute, until it has wilted, then serve with a generous shake of shichimi togarashi (or chili flakes and a few extra grinds of pepper) and lemon or lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

Bring to the boil and bubble for 10 minutes, checking occasionally that the pan hasn't run out of water. Remove from the heat and let the apricots cool. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease the sides of cake tin and line the bottom with baking paper. Remove five dried apricots and tear them in half for later use and make sure you also remove the cardamom husks, but leave the seeds in the pan. Scrape the remaining apricot mixture into a food processor with the ground almonds, polenta, baking powder, caster sugar and eggs and blitz until well combined. Open the food processor, scrape down the sides and add two teaspoons of lemon juice and the rosewater and blitz again. Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth the top, arrange the apricot halves around the circumference and pop in the oven to bake for 40 minutes. If the cake is browning up at the 30 minute mark, pop some alfoil loosely on the top. When it is ready, the cake will be coming away from the edges of the tin and a skewer will come out clean when tested. Place the cake in it's tin on a wire rack. If using apricot jam, just warm it a little to make it easier to spread. Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice to jam and brush over the surface of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top and leave the cake to cool in the tin. Cook's tip Store in an airtight container for 5-7 days or in the fridge if the weather is hot. The cake can also be frozen successfully for up to three months DID YOU SEE THAT?
