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.
These mini bread rolls are called "Fusette". They look like mini baguettes and we have stuffed them with cheese, her and garlic butter. These do contain gluten. They work incredibly well with soups, lasagne, as a side with any of the main meals and something lovely to keep in your freezer for snacks and cheese platters.
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!
Sweet Potato adds another dimension to this luscious Dahl. Made using red lentils that are slow cooked to which we add creamy coconut milk, cumin, fennel, coriander, onions, butter, a dash of chilli and sweet potato. This is a wonderful vegetarian meal that can be paired with our coconut or spiced rice.
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!
Seafood
We have sourced some absolutely delicious gold band snapper. Whilst experimenting we loved the idea of pairing it with some braised leeks (baked in the oven with olive oil, butter, herbs until soft and subtle), cherry tomatoes and a pesto olive oil with basil sourced from our kitchen garden. This is such a scrumptious summer dish and best served with a salad.
We have started from scratch making a fish stock using fresh seafood from Kailis. We have then diced onions until tiny and sautéed in olive oil, added arborio rice, white wine, fish stock, pesto made from basil from our kitchen garden, a touch of lemon zest, prawns and cooked until al dente. A really indulgent summer treat.
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!
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!
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.
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.
We have stuffed chicken thighs with havarti, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach and herbs before roasting on a bed of fresh potatoes smothered in paprika, more herbs and salt to create a mouth watering summer dish. Pair with our yummy salad.
Ragout originates from France created by Maman's for Sunday lunch with mountains of hand made pasta, couscous or polenta and Parmesan cheese. It's slow cooked, unctuous, has a tonne of flavour and uses all of my favourite ingredients. Instead of bolognese I usually cook this as it's a lot more decadent. This is something that kids to adults to oldies will love. Incredibly versatile and a staple in my freezer. Dress it up, dress it down....however you eat it you're going to fall in love with this gorgeous dish. Of course, as with all of my meals, this doesn't contain any additives, preservatives or gluten.
We have made a yummy tray bake consisting of succulent lamb, rosemary, oregano, on a bed of roasted potatoes lemon and more herbs. Simply pop into the oven and you have a delicious meal ready to be served with salad, pita, feta and wine!
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!
Salads
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!
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.
Oh how I love stone fruit especially local peaches. We now have them at hand and we have made a luscious peach and apple cobbler. Simply heat and serve with icecream.
The plums are spectacular right now. We have paired these with a frangipane base. The combination of a creamy, almondy, batter base with the freshly stewed plums is next level. All you need to do is pop in the oven and bake. Serve with ice cream.
Clafoutis, sometimes spelled clafouti in Anglophone countries, is a French dish of fruit, traditionally un-pitted black cherries, arranged in a buttered dish, covered with a thick but pourable batter, then baked to create a crustless tart. This time we are using black cherries to produce a beautiful dessert. Simply re-heat and serve with clotted creamm.
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!
For the ultimate crispy potatoes. This duck fat is a must have in your fridge. Simply heat oil and place potatoes onto a roasting tray, bake until crispy.
BBQ
We have taken a scotch fillet, marinated in mustard and then rolled in dried herbs. Simply cut steaks to size and BBQ over coals or BBQ whole and slice into pieces. Tender, Western Australian beef cooked to your liking. It's great to add garlic butter to melt it over the beef once it's cooked. If you want to cook the whole thing, simply drizzle with olive oil, place over hot coals for about 30 minutes. Turn it occasionally to brown it on each side. Let it rest for 20 minutes and then slice. Any left overs can be used for beef salad the next day!
A wonderful opportunity to BBQ or roast a delicious whole free range chicken from Mount Barker. We have marinaded the chicken with tonnes of fresh lemon, fresh herbs, olive oil and basted it until tender. Simply roast over some char grills on your home BBQ or roast in the oven. Serve with a delicious summer salad and our potato gratin. Heaven! Serves 6 easily and more likely 8 but perfect for next day left-overs in sandwiches. This brings out the European in me as it's something we do regularly and I have enjoyed this dish in Greece, Rome and France. Enjoy with our delicious Potato Salad.
We have marinaded our lamb cutlets in keeping with our multicultural heritage. Fresh mint, cumin, ginger, garlic, fresh mint, local honey, olive oil and more. Simply sear over the BBQ and create a luscious summer meal. Serve with Potato Gratin.
