Four feisty food lovers gathered in Joziburg this week for the finale of Come Dine With Me SA Season 8.

The menu consisted of go-with-the-vibe voiceover artist Rampepe, Chief Innovation Officer Tramayne, people person Noreen and Madam Fifi, also known as Leigh.

The cash platter was won by Tramayne who managed to outdo Leigh when it came to velvet cake.





These are everyone's recipes: 

Please note: The majority of recipes don't have the quanities this week so they're more useful for ideas and improvising around them than making them exactly as they were on the show.

NAME OF DISH   Smoked Ricotta Ravioli
MENU PREP SEQUENCE
(1st, 2nd, 3rd) 		 Starter
RECIPE SERVES (no of people)   4
PREPERATION TIME   45 min
INGREDIENTS   Quantity & unit  Ingredient  
   200 grams  Flour
   4  Eggs
   1 teaspoon  Sunflower oil
   1 cup  Ricotta
   1 teaspoon  Liquid smoke
     Sour Cream
 
 		  200 grams  Butter
   Handful  Sage
   Cup of  Parmesan
METHOD   1.  Put flour in a bowl, make a well in the middle and crack in two eggs.

Scramble the eggs with your fingers or a fork, add a teaspoon of oil and start adding flour into the eggs.

Continue mixing the eggs and flour until well combined, then knead the dough and shape into a ball.

Cover the dough with a napkin or foil and let rest for half an hour.
 
  2.  Prepare the ricotta filling: in a bowl, crumble ricotta (with liquid smoke) and smash with a fork.

In a separate bowl, crack open an egg, whisk well and then add about half of it to the ricotta with half a cup of parmesan grated finely.
 
  3. Divide pasta dough into 6 pieces and roll out thinly, to about 2 mm thick.

You can do that by hand or use a pasta maker.
 
  4. Take the ricotta filling and assemble your ravioli.

Place a small-ish lump of the filling in the middle of a dough circle.

Moisten the edge of the ravioli by sticking your finger in a glass of water and then rubbing it all around the edge of the ravioli.

Then, take another dough circle and place on top of the circle with the filling.

Press the ravioli edge well with your fingers and then with a fork to form the pattern.
 
  5. Place a large pan on the stove and add butter.

Heat it up on medium until it melts and then cook some more until it browns.

Then, add in sage leaves and fry them up until they change colour and stiffen, about a minute or two.
 
  6. Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil.

Season with salt, then carefully add the ravioli, reduce heat and cook on low for about 4 minutes, until the raviolis increase in size and are cooked al dente.

When the raviolis are cooked, use a skimmer to carefully remove them from the pot and drain, and then immediately add them to the butter sauce.
 
 

 
NAME OF DISH   Crispy pork belly with roasted apples and cabbage
MENU PREP SEQUENCE

RECIPE SERVES (no of people)   4

     Mayonnaise
     Red Wine Vinegar
     Carrots
     Barbeque Asian spices
METHOD   1. Reheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced).

Using a sharp knife or clean box cutter, deepen any scoring in rind and fat of pork (do not cut through meat).

Rub 2 tsp sea salt flakes into scored rind and fat.

Season the meat with more salt. Fold a 30cm x 60cm piece of foil in half to make a 30cm square.

Place thyme sprigs in the centre of the foil and top with the pork.

Crimp the edges of the foil so foil goes up the sides of pork and below pork skin (this allows pork to cook in its own juices).

Place on a large, rimmed baking tray.
 
  2. Roast pork for 3 hours or until fork tender.

Remove pork from oven and increase temperature to 250°C (230°C fan-forced).

Use tongs to carefully lift pork from foil. Pour off fat and discard foil and thyme.

Return pork to the tray and roast for 25-30 mins or until the rind crackles. 
 
  3. Melt 20g butter. Add one-third of the cabbage.

Season with salt and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until wilted.

Add remaining cabbage, in 2 batches, and cook for 3 mins or until wilted.
 
  4. Add wine or stock, sugar, star anise and ¼ cup (60ml) vinegar to cabbage.

Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 35-40 mins or until cabbage is tender and most of the liquid evaporates. 
 
  5. To make the caramelized apples, in a medium bowl, toss the apples and sugar until combined.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Add the apples and cook, without turning, for 3 mins or until golden underneath.

Turn and cook for 3 mins or until apples are caramelized.
