Bakery
Inspired by the exclusive Eclat du Terroir recipe, this premium croissant has a delicious, buttery sweet taste that lingers in the mouth and a final hint of caramel, unique in its class. Simply heat in the oven and create your very own bakery in the comfort of your own home. A Sunday morning ritual in my household.
Pain au Chocolat are the ultimate little treat for Sunday brekky, afternoon tea or whenever you feel like it.
Soups
Mains (Vegetarian)
I am addicted to this dish. Aubergine is the ultimate vegetable to me. It works well in hearty food and has such a distinct flavour. My grandfather used to love thin slices of aubergine battered and fried, sprinkled with salt and served with a little chutney on the side as an aperitif. Very Mauritian! For me, I just love layer upon layer of eggplant stacked high with tomato sugo and melty cheese. So that's what we have done. This works well with so many of our meals such as the Boeuf Bourguignon, Chicken Chasseur, Stuffed Chicken Thighs, Chicken Marbella, Tarragon & Lemon Chicken, Beef Cheeks, Potato Gratin and more. Serve bubbling hot and pull this apart with gusto!
I made this several times last week as it was so good. I started with red onion, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, and sautéed those in olive oil. To the pan I added cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach leaves and a dash of cream. This unctuous dish is best served with a slab of bread and devoured!
Mains (Meat)
Without a doubt this is an all time French classic. It is so delicious your family will be begging to make it a weekly occurrence. I source West Australian beef and slow cook it in a warm oven with pancetta, onions, carrots, mushrooms, herbs and of course lots of red wine. This takes about 4 hours and it comes out of the oven smelling heavenly. More importantly it really delivers on flavour. Serve with C Si Bon Potato Gratin or pappardelle pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and green veggies or salad. So delicious you will want to lick your plate!
A French classic! Farm fresh chicken thighs cooked with fresh vegetables, white wine, herbs and simmered until tender. My family loves it! I use chicken thighs to achieve a richer flavour for the dish. It’s packed with carrots, onions, zucchini, celery, tomatoes, thyme and a dash of cream. The delicious sauce makes you want to come back for more. Serve with C Si Bon Potato Gratin or rice, couscous, mashed potato.
Farm fresh chicken thighs stuffed with succulent prunes and crisp pine nuts, wrapped in prosciutto and oven baked until golden brown. This is a deliciously simple dish but when cooked the flavours are superb. I source local Western Australian, farm fresh chicken thighs and stuff them with glossy, black prunes and pine nuts. I then wrap the chicken thighs in prosciutto and bake them in the oven until golden brown. The end result is perfectly cooked chicken with a sweet sticky centre and a salty, crispy outside. The mix of sweet and salty is heaven. Serve with C Si Bon Potato Gratin and salad or vegetables.
C Si Bon Duck a L’Orange. Now a staple on our menu because of it's popularity, this is a standout dish to be served any day of the week. Confit of duck is the first thing I buy when in France. I absolutely love it. This is a beautiful rendition of a French classic and tastes heavenly. I’ve placed the confit of duck on a bed of steamed royal blue potato scallops. The sauce was made using freshly squeezed orange juice that has been steeped with thyme, a touch of maple syrup, ginger and brandy. If you’re a lover of duck this will satisfy!
Another French classic! Farm-fresh chicken thighs paired with fresh leeks, white wine, herbs, tarragon, dijon mustard and simmered until tender. My family loves it! I use chicken thighs to achieve a richer flavour in the dish. Boasting a wonderful aroma and delicate textures, the delicious sauce sure makes you want to come back for more. Serve with C Si Bon Potato Gratin or either rice, couscous or mashed potato.
Braises & Curries
I was asked what was the difference between Mauritian and Sri Lankan curries the other day. The main difference is that Sri Lankan curries tend to be milder with the use of coconut milk to temper heat. That is, of course, very general but the Mauritian's usually use tomato based curries due to the rich agriculture and a special type of tomato called Pomme D'Amour which is farmed locally. You must know by now that I love curry!!! All shapes, sizes and flavour profiles. Chicken, when slow cooked and falling apart tender, lends itself well to intense flavours. We really have gone all out on this one. A blend of about 15 different spices and chillies with coconut milk to give it a deep soul! It is rich and fall apart deliciousness. Pair this with Coconut Rice and you have the perfect meal for 2 or more.
A Moroccan style lamb tagine bursting with flavours of the Middle East. Slow cooked until the lamb is melt in your mouth tender. Plump chick peas and green olives finish this dish off perfectly. I love foods from all over the world. My version of lamb tagine is particularly delicious as it contains some of my favourite flavours from the Middle East - cumin, saffron, ginger, and paprika. Subtle hints of fresh orange combined with the luscious sauce of rich tomato and Spanish onion work perfectly with succulent Western Australian lamb. To finish off I add chick peas and green olives to create a textural delight. You can serve this with couscous or rice….or just dig in!
Massaman Beef Curry is a mash up between Indian and Thai curry. It's is oozing warm tones from spices such as cardamom, cumin, nutmeg and fresh ginger. Slow cooked, melt in your mouth, chunks of beef and potatoes make this a luxurious curry.
Pies & Lasagnes
C Si Bon Shepherd’s Pie is made using fresh, West Australian beef with plenty of hidden vegetables. It’s oven baked until the mash is golden and bubbling. One of life’s simple pleasures is Shepherd’s Pie. Fresh West Australian farmed beef mince is combined using 6 different vegetables and cooked so that even the fussiest of eaters won’t complain – clever! I top it with fluffy mashed potato and West Australian cheddar cheese.
Gluten free lasagne at last! Layers of luscious, cheesy, white sauce, slow cooked Bolognese and gluten free lasagne. Topped off with melt in your mouth cheddar cheese. With so many people now gluten intolerant I think it’s essential to offer this as an alternative. The secret to this gluten free lasagne is slow cooking the Bolognese, containing 6 different vegetables, until it’s almost a Ragu consistency. I wanted this to be healthy as well as delicious. By slow cooking the Bolognese, the vegetables and meat melt away into a thick, luscious sauce. I use plenty of cheese throughout to make it really melt in your mouth. Top quality gluten free lasagne sheets gives the dish beautiful structure. The balance of all three elements makes for an irresistible dining experience. I am proud to offer a gluten free alternative that tastes sensational!
The ultimate winter warmer! Fresh seafood poached in a delicate and creamy mustard sauce, topped with fluffy mashed potato. Nothing says cool weather like Seafood Pie. I am a fan of eating fish for dinner on Friday night so this is a family favourite. Locally grown vegetables are sautéed in olive oil until tender. I then add the cream and mustard (and a few other tasty morsels) and poach the seafood in the sauce. This process is very quick as I want the seafood to remain soft and silky. I then top it with fluffy mashed potato and the whole thing comes together beautifully. You can serve with extra vegetables and a side salad or just have it by itself. You will be licking your lips for more!
The ultimate in comfort food and for those nights when you aren't sure what you want but it has to be delicious! Mac n Cheese is super cheesy with a dash of truffle oil to make it decadent too!
Sides & Vegetables
Thinly sliced Royal Blue potatoes, layered with garlic and cream, topped with cheese and baked in the oven until golden brown. This is my ultimate side dish. It’s versatile and tastes delicious when paired with chicken, seafood, beef, lamb, salad, vegetables or just gobbled up by itself. I find the waxy style of Royal Blue Potatoes can hold their flavour well when partnered with fresh, local cream and garlic. Topped with lashings of cheese and baked until golden brown. Try this with my C Si Bon Boeuf Bourguignon, C Si Bon Stuffed Chicken Thighs or C Si Bon Chicken Chasseur and sides of green vegetables or salad. You will love it so much you will be able to serve it to guests the next time they come for lunch or dinner. Nobody needs to know!!
We are listening to you and what makes your life easier. Sides are always popular. Who needs to cook when we can do it for you? Our coconut rice is steamed to perfection with hints of coconut so that you can pair with our curries, BBQ items and vegetarian options to lift the flavour of meal times to a new height.
Having a Mauritian background we love rice. This little side dish is made by steaming rice and adding turmeric to give it a beautiful golden hue and some roasted almonds. Simply re-heat in the microwave and use with our curries, vegetarian, meat, or seafood dishes. Yum! You could also add some fresh parsley and currants to give it extra oomph!
The twin sister to our Potato Gratin! Sweet potatoes are tossed through cream, garlic and a touch of ginger and nutmeg before being topped with cheese and baked until gooey. Yuuuum. Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas lunch or dinner.
Desserts
Made using the finest Belgian chocolate this is a show stopper dessert. Little cakes of goodness, these are irresistible and so easy to use. Simply re-heat in microwave for 30 seconds or in oven for 12 minutes at 180 degrees celsius. Serve with clotted cream or ice cream. One cake per person.
It's Christmas and this is a delicious fruit cake (not pudding) that is best served with a dollop of ice cream or brandy butter and cream or ALL OF IT! It's a bit lighter than a normal cake so you can indulge without feeling too full.
Pantry
Garlic Aioli is one of my favourites. In order to give it a more mellow palate we have roasted the garlic which gives a slightly smoky flavour. Aioli works with salads, grilled meats, fish, prawns, dips, anything and everything. So delicious.
This tomato chutney is THE BOMB. Packed full of delicious tomatoes, spices, currants, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, onions. Slow cooked until jammy and delicious. It is the perfect accompaniment to anything on the BBQ, on a cheese platter, with ham, in a sandwich.....go crazy!
