Prunetastic Slow Cooked Beef Spare Ribs + Giveaway Winners
It is time to announce the winners of our Prunetastic giveaway!
Before I do, I want to share one last recipe with you using the delicious healthy Sunraysia Prune Juice.
This recipe gives the chain “Stetsons Steakhouse Saloon” a run for their money. The sauce is rich and delicious and the meat just falls off the bone. I chose to use beef so as to minimize the fat content, but you could go your hardest and choose mouthwatering pork spare rib for the recipe.
Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients
1.8kg Beef Ribs
250ml Sunraysia Prune Juice
250ml Teriyaki Sauce
250ml Campbell’s Real Beef Stock
4 cloves garlic
Method
Marinade the ribs in a mixture of prune juice and Teriyaki sauce, cover and allow to stand overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the ribs, garlic and sauce into either a casserole dish or slow cooker.
Cover and cook in a slow cooker on high for six to eight hours, or until the meat comes away from the bone. If cooking in a covered casserole dish cook at 160 degrees for about 3 hours.
Once the meat is cooked remove it from the dish and set aside in a warm place. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and boil it on the stove until it reduces to a delicious syrup. The sauce is served over the meat.
Now, I hope everyone has started their new fitness regime of a shot of Sunraysia Juice each morning. So who are the two lucky readers who will be receiving a Sunraysia Makeover Pack consisting of a loofah glove, 750ml bottle of Sunraysia Prune Juice and a shot glass?
The two winners are Clare and Jac! Congratulations to you both! Please contact me via email with your address, and I will have the packs sent out to you.
A Prunetastic Giveaway
I am wondering how many of my readers made New Years resolutions this year. At the start of the year I set myself a few goals. As with any goals I think that it is always good to review my success or failure and perhaps look at ways I can improve my success. I also like to look at the relevance of the goals down the track. Is this still what I want? If the answer is yes then I need to make an added commitment to the goal.
In January the cancer council advertised on my website. Part of the advertisement was a survey to assess your risk of cancer. I decided to participate in the survey because good health is important to me. My last birthday was the big 40 so I am more conscience of maintaining what is left of a youthful appearance and not declining in health or vitality.
After completing the survey I was sent an email recommending the changes I should make to my lifestyle. On the whole I did very well. It did however highlight to me the big deficit in my diet. I don’t get time to eat fruit and drink water. So these are the goals I set myself for the year.
My Goals at the start of the year
Eat 2 serves of fruit per day
Increase my consumption of water to at least 2 glasses
Exercise 3 times per week
Wear sunscreen in Summer
I have to admit that I still struggle with my two serves of fruit per day. I enjoy fruit but I am always on the run and don’t get time to snack through the day. Thanks to my awareness of the need to eat more fruit I have increased my consumption, but I hadn’t reached my goal yet.
Recently I was offered a sample of Sunraysia Prune Juice. Sunraysia are running a “Makeover Promotion” challenging consumers to discover the health benefits of drinking just one shot per day of their juice. I read the nutritional information provided and found that this could be the answer to my fruit dilemma. 200ml of Prune juice is equivalent to one of the national recommended 5 fruit and veg serving. So why not try a shot of Sunraysia Prune Juice today.
It seems that grandma did know best… but what does it taste like?
Prune juice has borne the brunt of many jokes so it is easy to have a preconceived idea about the taste. Realistically I love all dried fruits, prunes included so I was looking forward to sampling the juice. Naturally it was sweet and delicious and I could easily drink a whole glass full as part of a new morning ritual.
While I was trialing the product I read the following research to Mr GG “Just a shot of Sunraysia Prune Juice every day can reduce the effects of ageing, help maintain healthy skin and give you a visible glow that can only come from feeling ‘squeaky clean’ and healthy on the inside… Sunraysia Prune Juice has three times the antioxidants packed into it than your average pomegranate juice drink. These powerful antioxidants tackle ageing head-on by neutralising the toxic free radicals we encounter in everyday that attack skin cells and ultimately cause unsightly wrinkles”. WOW just what I was looking for!
Mr GG couldn’t believe that a single shot of juice could be
so good for you and nor could I. So we
are now both taking part in the “Sunraysia Makeover” and loving it!
Sunraysia are offering two lucky readers the chance to sample the health benefits for themselves. The winners will be receiving a sample of Sunraysia Juice, shot glass and a set of loofah gloves.
All you need to do is let me know how Sunraysia Juice can
help you to achieve your health goals and make sure you “like” Gourmet Getaways
on Facebook. Winners will be announced on Monday 29th August 2011.
When I find a great product, packed with nutritional value I tend to experiment in the kitchen for more uses. Prunes, like figs, and rhubarb seem to have been a bit of a forgotten hero. They were used and enjoyed by the previous generation and are now coming back into favour due to the new found health benefits of the food.
I have devised some delicious recipes using Sunraysia Prune Juice. I will feature these in the coming week but here is a sneak peek.
White Chocolate & Prune Juice Jelly Panna cotta w Brandied Fruit Compote
Prunetastic Slow Cooked Beef Spare Ribs
Thanks to Sunraysia I am now one step closer to making my New Years resolutions a success!
So tell me readers, what were your New Years resolutions? Have you succeeded in achieving your goals? How can Sunraysia help you to achieve your health goals?

Bakers Delight Pizza Party + GIVEAWAY WINNERS
State of Origin night is the ultimate pizza night, I am told that it is one of the biggest night on the Domino’s calendar aside from the NRL Grand Final itself.
Tonight we will be jumping the franchise pizza queues and having a Gourmet Pizza Party.
All my lovely guests are creating their own pizza’s on the new Bakers Delight Pizza Bases. Naturally I have some incredibly creative friends and they have come up with some awesome creations.
Take a look at these pizza suggestions for your next pizza party.
Tandoori Chicken w Paneer Pizza on a Mango Chutney base
Antipasto Roasted Vegetables on Seeded Mustard
Cajun Chicken & Feta
Bacon & Cheese Pizza
Pepperoni & Chili Prawn
The final pizza on the menu was a Chili Vegetarian w Sundried Tomato & Feta Pizza. I seem to have missed photographing this one too... I will just have to blame the excitement on the night and assure readers that all the pizza's were delicious.
For dessert we enjoyed;
Berry Delicious Pizza w Vanilla Mascarpone
Plus we also had a which I missed photographing. I will have to make it again because it was delicious and I would love to share the recipe with everyone.
Caramel Pear & Macadamia Pizza with Ice-cream
I was so pleased with the delicious range of flavours everyone came up with for the Pizza Party. The Bakers Delight bases were the perfect vehicle for these lush toppings. I loved the fact that the bases are pre-cooked as this meant each pizza was in and out of the oven in 7-8 minutes.
After all, we had some hungry blue’s supporters to feed… (and two Maroons), so the cooking time was a real bonus, nobody wanted to miss kick off!
Now it’s time to announce the winners of the five Bakers
Delight gift vouchers. If your name is listed below please contact me via email julie@gourmetgetaways.com.au

Stop in at your local Bakers Delight and pick up a pack of bases, it really is a quick easy option for dinner.

Smokey Steak & Cheese Pizza w Sweet Caramelised Onion + a GIVEAWAY
“On the second day of Pizza my true love said to me… S-m-o-k-e-y Steak Cheese…. Caramelised onion, Rosemary and Brie…” and a partridge in a pear tree… okay maybe I’ve gone a little carbohydrate mad but you get the picture, I'm fa la la ing while I make a Smokey Steak & Cheese Pizza with Caramelised Sweet Onion.
Now this is the most divine pizza ever, even if I do say so myself, (there’s that modesty coming out again.)
Anyway, this was going to be a Wagyu & Brie Pizza with Caramelised Onion but I hit a snag getting the Wagyu at short notice. Thankfully the guys at Russell’s Quality Meats in the Plaza fixed me up with some gorgeous Dorrigo eye fillet, cut super thinly in little rounds. Even though it wasn’t Wagyu the beef just melted in the mouth.
I am a huge fan of the Bakers Delight bases; because they are pre cooked this pizza spent only 6-7 minutes in the oven. This allowed the steak to stay incredibly moist and tender.
Don’t forget I have some $5 Bakers Delight vouchers to giveaways to readers who are interested in making their own gourmet pizzas. Look for the question at the bottom of the recipe for your chance to win one.
Ingredients:
1 Fresh Bakers Delight Pizza Herb and Garlic Base
1/4 cup Smokey BBQ Sauce
1/2 cup grated cheese
2 sprigs rosemary
½ cup caramelised sweet onion
8 thinly cut slices of eye fillet steak
5 slices of Brie
½ cup rocket
Caramelised Sweet Onion:
Ingredients:
3 Onions sliced into rings
1 Tbs Olive Oil
1 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Tbs Brandy
Sweet Onion Method:
Melt butter in saucepan with oil, onion, and sugar. Stir until coated with oil.
Cover and sweat on a low heat for 10 minutes stirring regularly.
Uncover pan and continue to cook and stir until caramelised, approx 10 minutes. Deglaze with Brandy and cook over a low heat until evaporated.
Pizza Method:
Spread the pizza base with barbeque sauce.
Add the grated cheese and rosemary to the base ensuring even coverage.
Scatter ½ cup of caramelised sweet onion over the pizza.
Place the steak rounds on the pizza where each of the eight slices will be cut from.
Bake at 220 degrees for 7 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the oven and add slices of brie.
Serve with Rocket and enjoy!
I have made this pizza before on a homemade pizza base. The flavour was awesome but the base did not handle all the liquid from the barbeque sauce, steak and caramelised onion. The Bakers Delight pizza base suited this pizza perfectly as the thick par cooked base was the perfect vehicle for such a lush moist pizza.
Give this pizza a try at home, I promise you will fall in love. The Bakers Delight Pizza Bases are available in a two pack at your local Bakers Delight store for only $4.50.
For a chance to try a Bakers Delight Pizza base “on the house” use the comments section below to share your pizza creation with me. I would like to know what you would call your pizza creation plus what type of sauce and toppings you would use.
You will need to “like” Gourmet Getaways on FB as the winners will be announced via FB on Saturday 9th July.

Berry Delicious Breakfast Pizza w Vanilla Mascarpone + a GIVEAWAY
Now it is time to get down to the business of sampling the new fresh pizza bases sent to me from Bakers Delight. I decided to use one of the plain bases to make this yummy sweet pizza. I hope the picture and recipe inspires you to create some gourmet pizza's of your own.
Just in case you do get inspired don’t forget I have some $5 Bakers Delight vouchers to giveaways to readers. I want to know what gourmet pizzas you will make with your base. Check out the details at the bottom of the page to enter.
The first thing I noticed about the bases is that they are quite thick. I decided to make good use of this volume by adding some toppings that may perhaps have too much liquid for a regular pizza base to handle.
The bases have also been pre baked at Bakers Delight which allowed me to create this delicious Berry Pizza without fear of the fruit becoming over cooked or the base becoming soggy.
Ingredients:
1 Fresh Bakers Delight Pizza Base
1/4 cup Strawberry Jam
1/2 punnet chopped strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
Vanilla Mascarpone Topping:
100gm Mascarpone
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon icing sugar
Method:
Spread the pizza base with strawberry jam.
Add the fruit to the base ensuring an even coverage.
Sprinkle the caster sugar over the fruit.
Bake at 220 degrees for 7 minutes.
Meanwhile mix the Vanilla Mascarpone ingredients together and set aside.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drop teaspoons of the mascarpone onto the pizza.
This is the most deliciously fresh tasting pizza, it is loaded with fruit and makes a really quick “special” breakfast. I usually serve it with more fresh strawberries and mascarpone.
The Bakers Delight pizza base suited this pizza perfectly. I love that the pizza was ready for eating after only seven minutes cooking time. This is a drastic reduction to the time it would usually take to cook pizza.
The fresh Bakers Delight Pizza Base lifted this pizza to a gourmet status. The fruit remained fresh and lush and the addition of the creamy vanilla mascarpone to the finished product was sublime.
If you would like to try a Bakers Delight Pizza base in the comfort of your own home I would you to share your pizza creation with me. Use the comments section below to describe your perfect gourmet pizza. I would like to know what you would call your pizza plus, what type of sauce and toppings you would use.
Make sure you "like" Gourmet Getaways on FB as the winner of the vouchers will be announced on Saturday 9th July.

The Cadbury Mousse Chocolate Winners
My favourite job of all is to giveaway delicious product! Today I get to announce the ten lucky winners of the Cadbury Mousse Chocolate Giveaway.
Thank you to everyone who participate in the competition and thank you to Cadbury's for this tasty giveaway.
The first winner has to be Amanda Elizabeth who commented that her Cadburys is perfectly safe in her daughters bed because she won't sleep by herself and sleeps with her. I think she may need some extra energy to get through the day. ALL my children slept in my bed as kids! She also emailed me a picture of her real life bunny guarding her stash of Cadbury Easter Eggs!
The second winner is Lauren Hertige-Brown because her answer made me laugh so hard. I can just imagine me doing the same if I was busted raiding my stash of chocolate. Lauren is also a regular commenter on Facebook and I always like rewarding readers who let me know what is on their mind.
Which leads me on to 3rd through to 5th place, all of these readers participated in the giveaway and also comment regularly on the blog. Thanks for playing along with me, it is always great to hear your thoughts. It is nice to know I am not rambling to myself :)
I am jealous that she doesn't need to hide her chocolate and she is able to eat it in plain view of the family. Here is another block just for you!
Rachel Mounter June 4, 2011
I hide mine in my mouth. :P or I eat it on the way home from the supermarket, before anyone else gets a look in.
Craig June 6, 2011
I do the cooking at home so where else to put my choccy but in the pots and pans draw! Not very imaginative, but safer than Fort Knox...
The final 5 winners were chosen because I loved their hiding spot and I may use a similar spot in the future;
Suzanne June 3, 2011
My family are chocolate stalkers
If they found they’d eat the whole block.......
My chocolate stash is well hidden
Inside my old chiming clock!
I stash mine in my container of healthy home-made natural muesli...that's waaaaayy too healthy for my fiance to venture in there!
Rhubarb Whine June 3, 2011If I am lucky enough to get the block hidden before anyone knows I have one, it goes in the wok - no one ever looks in the wok and I am the only one who uses it for cooking. But if someone sees the chocolate come into the house, I 'hide' it behind the cookie jar. Of course, everyone KNOWS that's where I hide it, behind that cookie jar, so when they look for my stash and there's none behind the cookie jar it means I don't have any, right? Right? RIGHT?
I love my wok :)
Thanks for playing and keep up the feedback!

Cadbury Dairy Milk Mousse Chocolate Giveaway
I trust that my chocolate loving readers have noticed that Cadbury's have released a range of Mousse Dairy Milk chocolate in three delicious flavours. Wouldn't you agree that there is something so “right” about curling up on the lounge, in front of television in winter, with a family sized block of Cadbury's chocolate all to yourself?
Which is why I also love the new advertising campaign, “Chocolate so delicious it's best kept hidden." I had recently noticed that if my chocolate isn't hidden there is never any left for me!
In my house treats such as chocolate have a way of simply disappearing, never to be seen again? I've had to be very ingenious when it comes to hiding chocolate. Hubby is 6”6’ so a hiding spot high up is out of the question. The teenagers know exactly where things are kept in the pantry and everything is in open view. The little ones can now open the fridge, and the middle of the fridge is at eye level. It seemed I was doomed to never have more than a square of chocolate.
Then one day, whilst cleaning out the very bottom of the fridge, (where the vegetables go to die) I noticed an unopened block of chocolate had slipped into the nether regions of the crisper, (what an ironic name). I had stumbled upon the ultimate secret hiding spot! I now ensure that a bag of slimy lettuce stays in the bottom of the fridge to act as a deterrent, and as yet my stash of chocolate has never been discovered.
Now please don’t get me wrong, I am not a horrible mother and wife, I wouldn’t mind sharing my chocolate. The problem is, sharing is not on the minds of the rest of the family, their goal is to consume, and then search for more.
My task now is to find a way of getting some of that "me time" so that I can enjoy my Cadbury Mousse Chocolate.
So I think it is time to have a bit of fun! If my lovely Gourmet Giveaway readers would like to share their secret hiding space with me I have ten blocks of Cadbury Mousse Chocolate to give away courtesy of the team from Liquid Ideas and Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate.
To be eligible please ensure you have liked Gourmet Getaways and Cadburys on Facebook.
Please share your hiding spot in the comments below and on the Facebook page. I am looking for the most imaginative response. After all, if hubby reads my story I will be looking for another spot to stash the goods.
The competition closes on Friday 10th June so you have 1 week to enter. Pictures of your hiding spot can be sent to julie@gourmetgetaways.com.au
