125ml boiling water
25ml oil
25ml All Gold apricot jam
25ml vinegar
25ml curry powder (or more, according to taste)

Mix salt, Jungle Oats and egg. Mix with the mince and half the onion mixture.
Dissolve the cornflour, turmeric and salt in 250ml boiling water. Add to remainder of onion mixture in the pan.
Cook until sauce starts to thicken.
Shape mince into balls and add to the remaining hot sauce in the pan.
Cook over a low heat for ± 30 minutes until meat balls are done.
Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart
Ingredients
½ a cup of Jungle Taystee Wheat
1 packet of choc-kits biscuits
2 heaped tbsp Golden Cloud flour
2 tbsp coconut
1 egg yolk
Chocolate Filling:
240g Beacon milk chocolate
80g Beacon dark chocolate
2 tbsp butter
¾ cup heavy cream, heated
Method
For the base, dry toast Taystee Wheat in a pan until golden.
Set aside to cool.
Process choc-kits biscuits into fine crumbs.
Add biscuits, flour, coconut, egg yolk, vanilla essence and melted butter to Taystee Wheat.
Mix well and press into a well-greased fluted tart pan.
Bake crust at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.
Cool completely before removing the tart shell from the pan.
Spread the caramel evenly at the bottom of the tart shell. (Note: You may need to adjust the caramel before you do this with hot water and a good pinch of sea salt.)
Chill for 20 minutes.
For the filling, melt chocolate and butter together.
Whisk in cream until smooth and glossy.
Spread chocolate evenly over caramel and chill tart for at least 4 hours before serving.
