Krispkut™ Stir Crazy Singaporean Style Stir Fry Mix 475g
half a cup light coconut milk

It's time to get all dressed up
Summer-lovers will no doubt be over the moon that daylight savings is here at last! It seems that we all come out of hibernation as the evenings get longer (and warmer!) and start to enjoy getting off the couch, getting dressed up and going out for an evening with friends.

This is where Krispkut™ comes in! Summer is a time for salad, and our range of new-look dressings will literally have your simple salad ‘all dressed up’ for dinner with friends.

In fact, the Krispkut™ Dressings range has had a makeover on the inside and out. A selection has been given a new and improved recipe, while the classic favourites remain unchanged, to make the best-yet Krispkut™ Dressing range that is simply bursting with flavour!

Plus, the entire tantalising team has been dressed in fresh, new packaging to match the great tastes inside.

Eating fresh, healthy salads should be easy to do. To make salad eating even simpler, all Krispkut™ Salads and Dressings are colour coded to show you exactly which salad combination goes with which tasty dressing.

on the way. Healthy eating is just too easy!

Smarter salad.
Salads are now on your smart phone! A new Krispkut™ smartphone app allows you to scan QR codes on the back of Krispkut™ dressings, which will immediately take you to a tantalising recipe using the dressing that you’ve selected.

Hi again, salad junkies, and welcome to the latest edition of the Krispkut™ Lettuce Talk newsletter. This season’s issue is all about changing perceptions: salads are thought to be healthy, but not usually hearty, and winter meals are thought to be hearty, but perhaps not so healthy. Comfort food lovers will delight in the knowledge that there are ways to enjoy Krispkut™ salads in the depths of the winter cold. Read on….

Chills and thrills
The winter chills are slowly creeping in, and the thought of winter looming can be enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine! When the days start to get cold, most of us hole up and reach for a pile of warm, rich comfort food and, sadly, the fresh salads of summer can start to slip… however! This winter, Krispkut™ has a range of winter salad solutions that can get you back on track with your delicious and nutritious salad faves.
 

Winter salad? Surely not...
All your notions that salad is a summer food are going to have to be shut out in the cold. Krispkut™ has just launched a brand-new seasonal release – the “Winter Salad” - for the cooler days and warmer meals that winter brings.

The newest in the Krispkut™ range, the “Winter Salad – Spinach & Cavolo Nero” is a flavoursome blend of green spinach, red spinach and cavolo nero leaves. This dark, leafy green combination is decorative, yet highly nutritious – full of vitamins and antioxidants.

Best of all, the small and tender leaves in this blend are designed to be great when served cold or warm. Unlike standard lettuce, this leaf mix can be successfully heated for warm salads, or stirred through hot, hearty winter dishes.

While this mix still works as a great cold salad base, why not try adding it to casseroles, soups, curries, or pasta dishes? We guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the freshness and colour this mix can add to your meals.

Another Krispkut® favourite that’s great in winter is Krispkut® Spinach. Here’s a recipe that’s a perfect warmer for the whole family: 

spinach, mushroom & chicken pie

Serves 4

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
700g boneless, skinless chicken, chopped
250g button mushrooms, quartered
3 tablespoon + 1 and a half cups flour
1 and a half cups chicken stock
60g parmesan cheese, grated
130g Krispcut spinach
quarter of a teaspoon salt
quarter of a teaspoon baking powder
quarter of a teaspoon sugar
125g cold butter, cubed
5 tablespoons ice water
 

Preheat the oven to 190°C
Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion for a few minutes
Add the chicken and cook until browned
Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes then sprinkle over the 3 tablespoons of flour and stir though
Cook for a further 1-2 minutes then stir in the stock
Bring to the boil and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 more minutes
Stir through the parmesan then the spinach until just wilted and season with salt and pepper
Spoon filling into a deep, 5-cup ovenproof casserole dish and set aside
Sift the remaining flour, salt, baking powder and sugar into a bowl and rub in the butter
Mix in the water, kneading gently to bring together (don't over mix)
On a floured surface, roll out to 1 and a half cm thick
Press firmly over the top of the chicken pie
Trim any overhanging pastry and prick the top with a fork and brush with egg or milk wash if liked
Bake for 30- 40 minutes until the pastry is golden
 

Salads-to-go are all gone!
In the last Lettuce Talk, we had 2000 Sistema® Salad-To-Go containers to give away to anybody who collected three Krispkut™ barcodes.

Kiwis must really love their salads, because we have given away all 2000! You really must be a healthy bunch – keep up the salad-munching!
 

Don't forget...
Don’t forget that it’s never too late to join to the Krispkut™ way of healthy eating: sometimes we just need a bit of inspiration! Tell your family, friends and workmates to sign up for our newsletter to receive their free Krispkut™ salad dressing. With flavours such as Pomegranate & Blueberry, Japanese Style Sesame, Blue Cheese, Tangy Citrus, and all the classics – a new Krispkut™ dressing is a great way to reignite the salad passion.
 

Stay warm and well...

Thanks for being part of our Lettuce Talk news! Remember that winter doesn’t mean that salads are off the menu – it just gives you a chance to be more creative with your meal ideas. If you’re stuck for inspiration, check out the new collection of winter salad recipes at www.krispkut.co.nz.

Dear $(FirstWComma)

Welcome our last official newsletter of the year, Lettuce Talk, bringing you the best in fresh food ideas from New Zealand’s leading fresh cut producer. You’ll have noticed we’ve served up lots of fresh changes in 2010, such as our new-look website and salad bag packaging.

Christmas is Coming

Let’s face it – December is a time for eating! But a summery, southern hemisphere Christmas calls for light, fresh, crisp food, like salads. There are some fantastic new summer salad recipes on the back of packs – head to our website to read them in more detail.

Salads are great for Christmas and New Year celebrations, or anything a bit festive. Grabbing a Krispkut™ salad and matching dressing on the way out is an incredibly easy to way to take something delicious to a impromptu get together.

Why not get started on the one below

Fabulously festive in red and green:

cos romaine hearts, avocado, chilli prawn & crisp tortilla salad

2 medium tomatoes
4 tbsp Krispkut™ Ranch Dressing
2 flour tortillas
2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
juice of 1 lime
2 ripe, firm avocados
170g Krispkut™ Cos Romaine Hearts
1 large bunch coriander leaves
400g peeled prawns
2 large mild red chillies, deseeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
 

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and scoop out the seeds and discard along with the core.
Finely chop the tomato and place in a bowl with the ranch dressing and mix well. Set aside.
Heat the grill to hot. Brush the tortillas with one tbsp of the oil and place under the grill for about 1 min until brown.
Break the toasted tortilla into pieces and set aside.
Put the lime juice in a bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones and peel.
Cut each half into 4 wedges and toss with the lime juice.
Arrange the Krispkut™ Cos Romaine Hearts on a serving dish along with the avocado and coriander.
In a bowl, toss the prawns with the remaining one tbsp of oil, chilli and garlic.
Heat a wok or frying pan to hot and quickly stir fry the prawns for about 2 mins until cooked (this will depend on the size of the prawns used).
Tip the hot prawns over the salad, drizzle with Krispkut™ Ranch Dressing and scatter the crisp tortilla.
Serve immediately.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 5 mins
Serves 4

Slow cooking has had a revival in recent years, and for good reason!

Slow food tastes better, the preparation is quick and easy and the results add up to great meal solutions for busy, hungry families. To keep up with this trend we have launched our innovative, new 'Slow Cookers' as a special, winter-only range.

The pre-cut and packaged top-quality vegetable and spice mix speeds up the time you spend in the kitchen by delivering nutritious and delicious hot cooked meals the minute you walk in the door. 'Slow Cookers' use the freshest, peeled vegetables and with perfectly matched fresh herbs and spices included in the packet - all the hard work is done for you! They are all natural with no preservatives or additives - just perfect to come home to after a blustery winter's day.

With two delicious varieties: European Style Vegetable Mix (with Pearl Barley & Seasoning) and Indian Style Vegetable Mix (with Lentils & Seasoning), our 'Slow Cookers’ range provides a great tasty vegetarian option or can be used as a complimentary side for meat lovers.

Before you leave the house, simply place one of the ‘Slow Cookers’ vegetables and spices packs into a crock-pot and add a few extra ingredients such as stock, meat (if desired), chopped tomatoes or beans*. Then you can just leave it to do its magic (no peeking - lifting the lid on a slow cooked meal increases cooking time). Stirring is not necessary. Serve with crusty bread or chutneys.

Recipes and chef tips for the ultimate slow cooking experience are included on our website or with each pack for just RRP$6.99. But be quick, the range is only available during winter, at your local Foodtown, Countdown and Woolworths stores!
*(Ingredients vary depending on recipe)

1 bag krispkut™ Baby Spinach

Keep your eyes peeled for more on-pack promotions during the year, as well as features in magazines like Foodtown, which recently featured krispkut™ in its “Ingredients for Success” section.

Sounds Delicious!

We hope you’ve met Richard Till, the star foodie featured on Progressive Enterprises’ Countdown, Woolworths and Foodtown supermarket “Smart Shopper” ads, as he’s been in stores around New Zealand demonstrating our krispkut™ salad bags and dressings. We reckon this Kiwi Kitchen chef giving us the thumbs up is a great start to the New Year. He was also singing our praises at the Ellerslie Flower Show recently in Christchurch, where we had a stand.

Bring those secret tips out into the open by sending us your best tip for entertaining and cooking.
