INGREDIENTS
REMEMBER TO
500g of MSC certified South Australian Goolwa Pipis
2g saffron thread
100g butter
1 large clove garlic | finely minced
¼ teaspoon mild paprika
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt to taste
Let's cook!
STEP 1
Allow butter to come to room temperature & soften.
STEP 2
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
STEP 3
Combine softened butter, saffron, garlic, paprika, lemon zest & salt. Mix until well combined.
STEP 4
Place pipis in a baking dish large enough to ensure they don’t overlap. This is important to make sure the pipis cook evenly. Place a good spoonful of the saffron butter over the pipis and place the lid on top of the baking dish.
STEP 5
Put baking dish into the hot oven for approximately 8 minutes or until just cooked through.
STEP 6
Serve with a wedge of lemon and a chunk of good sourdough to soak it all up.
