We are very lucky in Freshwater Creek to experience the four season’s in all of their glory. We have the space to watch our landscape change month by month. If you’re interested in seeing the happenings on our little farm, read our seasonal diaries.

Method

Boil cut potatoes and whole garlic cloves till soft.
Strain, let sit for 5 minutes then transfer to oven tray with a little olive oil and roast till golden. Season with salt and pepper.

Place brussel sprouts on a roasting tray cut side down with olive oil and roast until golden, turning occasionally.
Remove from over a drizzle over a generous amount of maple syrup, season with salt and pepper. Refrain from eating them then and there.

These fillets were around 300g and we roasted them for around 20 minutes.
