Cook's Notes

• Native ingredients can be sourced from West Australian businesses Moojipin Foods and Roojenics.‍
• Warrigal Greens are a native leaf similar to English spinach, which grow wild in Western Australia. They must always be blanched before eating, as the leaves contain oxalates which in high quantities can have adverse effects.
