Get the kids, and try out this super cute Deviled Egg Chick recipe!

 

This would be the perfect breakfast treat for your family over this Easter break! Remember to get your Coupland’s Toast Bread out of the freezer so you can have some toast on the side.

 

 

Ingredients
  • 12 large eggs hard boiled and peeled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard* or add to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 small carrot peeled and sliced into rings
  • 6 black olives

 

equipment
  • A straw (plastic, paper, or steel)
  • A sharp knife (parental/caregiver help)

 

Method
  1. Peel 12 hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Carefully with a sharp knife, slice off a very thin layer from the base of the egg – this will give it a flat surface to stand on a platter. Cut off a generous top third of the egg. Squeeze around the egg base gently to loosen the yolk and it should pop right out. Keep the lids paired with their bases.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 12 cooked yolks and mash well with a fork. Add 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tsp dijon (or add to taste), 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/8 tsp salt, or season to taste. Mash everything together until smooth.
  4. Transfer mixture into a snap lock bag or pastry bag, and pipe generously into egg bases. Place top 1/3 back over the base and press down slightly to stick together.
  5. For the eyes, poke through an olive with a straw several times, then gently squeeze down the straw and the little circles of olives will pop right out. For the beaks, thinly slice a few rings of carrot and cut each ring into sixths to make tiny little triangles. Insert 2 olive spots for eyes and 2 carrot wedges the beak.

  6. Set chicks on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or dill to give them that “free range” feel.

 

*No dijon? No problem! Substitute with 1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar

bread limit update

Dear fellow Kiwis, our amazing team members are working around the clock to ensure that we are baking enough delicious baked goods to meet the unprecedented demand we are currently seeing.

 

To ensure we meet the needs of all New Zealanders, we have had to put limits on our bread in some regions.

 

Rest assured, our fresh bread will still be delivered twice daily in the major centers and once a day everywhere else. We are all in this together and there is plenty to go around.

 

Thank you for your understanding.
Coupland’s.

Pulled Pork Sliders

These Pulled Pork Sliders are an absolute crowd-pleaser! Perfect for any gathering, these sliders promise a flavour-packed experience that will have your guests coming back for seconds. Get ready to savour the delectable blend of tender pulled pork infused with smoky spices, nestled in our soft Dinner Rolls. This easy recipe is a must try!

 

Ingredients

 

  • 2 kg pork shoulder (bone-in)
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground mustard powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Few sprigs of thyme
  • 1 ½ cups apple juice
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 24 Coupland’s Dinner Rolls

 

Method

 

  1. For the best-tasting pork, rub with spices and herbs, then place in a baking dish. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow flavour to absorb.
  2. Preheat the oven to 130ºC. Pour the apple juice around the pork and cover with tin foil. Place in the oven and cook for 5 hours. Remove the foil and cook for a final 20 mins. Check to make sure there is at least 2cm of liquid surrounding the pork (add extra apple juice if not). You will be able to tell when the pork is cooked because it will be succulent and falling off the bone!
  3. Once cooked, pour the liquid from the pork into a bowl and allow to cool (skim off the fat as it rises).
  4. Remove the skin, fat, and bone from the pork. Then using two forks, flake the pork into small shredded pieces and place in a bowl.
  5. Combine the liquid in a saucepan with barbecue sauce and simmer until the sauce is thick. Mix the sauce with the pork.
  6. Heat the dinner rolls in the oven and then fill with pulled pork & enjoy!

 

For extra fancy sliders, serve with coleslaw for a bit of crunch!

Coupland’s Kid’s Christmas Picnic

The Christmas tree is up, the sparkling lights are on and the Christmas parties are in full swing.

 

Once a year, the team at Coupland’s Head Office in Christchurch put on a fantastic day for the kiddies of Coupland’s to say thanks.

 

This year, the Coupland’s Kid’s Picnic was held on Saturday 7th December at Spencer Park in Christchurch. Although it started off raining, the sun and heat sure came out in force just as the kids picnic kicked off!

 

The men hopped on the BBQ’s and got them sizzling hot before cooking up a storm of chicken, beef patties, bacon and onions along with a few seasonal salads and Coupland’s Bread, of course. Everyone dived in!

 

Once food had settled down the fun began! A fun dinosaur bouncy castle was set up along with some giant garden games including connect four, chess and jenga. The kids were then divided into age groups to compete against one another for prizes – this is where the real fun began! This included apple bopping, running races, egg and spoon race and dress up as a baker race. The kids loved dressing up as mum or dad.

After the games, Santa arrived in a fire truck to treat the kids to some Christmas presents.

Once Santa had finished ho ho ho and all the presents were out of his sack, the fire brigade turned on their hoses to cool everyone down! It was a huge water fight, which was surly needed in the heat!

The day was then finished off with a GIANT lolly scramble, some ice cream and Coupland’s donuts – yum!

Christmas Ham

You can’t have a good old Kiwi Christmas without one! A Hellers Premium Leg Ham 97% Fat Free tastes absolutely delicious, but can only be improved by one thing… a sticky, sweet glaze which pairs perfectly with the natural saltiness of the ham!

 

How to glaze a ham:
  1. Take the ham out of the packaging.
  2. With a sharp knife, score the ham in a cross-hatch pattern (or use diagonal lines if doing a cross-hatch pattern is too difficult). Score deep enough to cut through the fat, but not into the ham meat below.
  3. Glaze the ham with a glaze of choice. We recommend the glaze below, but feel free to use whatever glaze is in your favourite cook book. Save any glaze for later.
  4. Cook the ham for approximately 10 minutes per KG at 160°C to set the glaze or 20 minutes per KG if you want to serve the ham hot.
  5. Throughout the cooking time brush over any leftover glaze from before or spoon over any of the delicious juices from the pan to give the ham a golden glow.
  6. Serve the ham hot or cold with other festive lunch foods.
  7. Any unused ham can be stored in the fridge wrapped in a damp muslin bag or clean tea towel soaked in water.

 

Brown Sugar Glaze:

Ingredients:

  • 1 ham
  • A small handful of whole gloves – about 70
  • 1/2 cup soft brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or golden syrup
  • 1/4 cup rum, pineapple juice or apple juice

 

Method:

  1. Make the Brown Sugar Glaze by mixing the brown sugar, maple syrup and rum together.
  2. Once the ham has been scored with a sharp knife (as above) insert a whole clove into each of the points where the cross-hatching intersects.
  3. Brush the ham over with the Brown Sugar Glaze.
The Perfect Christmas Banquet
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A time for giving, a time for sharing and a time for delicious festive treats. 

 

Whether you are having a traditional Christmas Dinner, BBQ Lunch or a sneaky Bottomless Brunch – have a read below of some easy meal ideas of what we feel you can add to your Christmas menu to make it extra festive.

 

Idea #1.

Love trifle, but want to change it up? Try using our Ginger Loaves rather than a classic sponge as the main component. The liquid absorbs great into the loaves and the Ginger Loaves add a nice flavour sensation to an otherwise traditional trifle.

 

Idea #2.

Not much of a baker? Just want all the food preparation done for you? Pop into your local Coupland’s Store and see what delicious festive treats we have on offer. This includes traditional Christmas Cakes made from a Coupland’s family recipe, delicate sweet short pastry Christmas Tarts, Christmas Puddings with maximum flavour and moisture – just add custard and you are good to go, Christmas Truffles and cute Christmas Tree Biscuits. All these scrumptious baked goodies are good to go! Just display on a festive serving plate, cut to size and add a side of custard or even cream. We think these are the ideal speedy ‘don’t know what to do’ Christmas banquet idea.

 

Idea #3.

You can’t start Christmas Day off without having some Croissants for breakfast (well, in our opinion anyway). We stock mini and large croissants that have been pre-cooked and good to go for Christmas morning. We advise pre-ordering, so you don’t miss out. Just heat in the oven for a few minutes, cut in half and spread butter, jam, nutella or your favourite filling.

 

Idea #4.

Picture this… so, the whole families around and you have just finished a delicious Christmas feed of hot honey glazed ham, fresh garden potatoes, boiled bunched carrots and roast lamb with mint sauce and gravy. The effort to prepare that for the whole family was a mission, but it tasted so good! After sitting in the sun for half an hour trying to let your food sink down in your stomach, the kids come running up to you screaming “dessert, mum where’s dessert?”. You struggle to get up out of your seat but remember there are brandy snaps and meringues in the pantry cupboard. You’re also in luck because you pre-whipped some cream to go alongside the Christmas Tarts you served earlier. A smile pops onto your face. After 5 quick minutes you have whipped up some delicious brandy snaps and meringues as a quick and easy dessert! It doesn’t get much better than that to end your Christmas Day on, plus the kids faces of joy lit up the home.

If you would like to fill your pantry cupboard with some brandy snaps and meringues (in case you need them for Christmas Day) pop into your local Coupland’s Store as we have a few different varieties. You will find them near the Christmas goodies.

 

The whole team at Coupland’s wishes you a fantastic Christmas no matter how you are spending it and what food your decide to have!
