Spiced beef and orange casserole
Print is recipe
We all love a hearty casserole in winter and this version is delicately spiced and aromatic. The use of orange instead of red wine with beef and mushroom makes the meal less rich and orange and vinegar does the same trick as the wine in helping to tenderise the meat.

Sea Salt Flakes White
Product description
Salt is not a spice specifically but one of the most common condiments required for seasoning and a key ingredient in any pantry. Sea Salt flakes are used to flavor various recipes both savory or sweet. Australian Sea salt is obtained using a more complex process than table salt, which includes evaporating seawater. Due to this process sea salt contains trace minerals and nutrients that table salt does not have. Our sea salt is specifically obtained from the Great Barrier Reef. Sea salt flakes have a soft and sheer texture. The flakes can easily dissolve over the food.
