Brunch recipes from Bill Granger's Australian Food

He's been called the 'avocado king' and the 'egg master'. But there's no doubting that Bill Granger is the boss of brunch.

Bill Granger's Nonya-style chicken curry.

Bill Granger's chicken curry

This chicken curry is more in the Nonya-style and uses chicken marylands. I find dark poultry meat works best for curries, so for a short cut, use thigh fillets rather than breasts, chopped into chunks.

Bill Granger's grilled chicken thigh burgers with tahini and chilli relish.

Grilled chicken-thigh burgers with tahini sauce and chilli relish

This recipe is inspired by the burgers from an Israeli takeaway bar I love. It's the marinade and sauce that make it - and a little sugar ensures a lovely caramelised result on the chicken.

Burghul, pimento and paprika salad.
EASY

Burghul, pimento and paprika salad

Growing up with a mother who is vegetarian, I've long been exposed to more interesting and substantial meat-free dishes than a simple plate of pasta. This bulgur salad is a sour-sweet nutty twist on tabouli, resplendent with pimentos and walnuts and tarted up with pomegranate molasses.

Chicken, vegetable and risoni soup.

Bill Granger's chicken, vegetable and risoni soup

All-in-one, freezer-friendly meals that contain lots of vegies and sufficient protein and carbohydrates - what could be better than that for a busy home cook? This dish is a classic restorative chicken soup for the nights that you all might feel like something simple. It could be completed with a simple green salad and a dessert of sliced cold green apples, with a few slices of extra parmesan.

Bill Granger's beef massaman curry.

Bill Granger's beef massaman curry

This a is a great freeze-ahead meal for when you have some spare time. With these meals I always find it's worthwhile adding a few finishing touches to give the food a hit of freshness. The richness of the massaman curry would be complimented with a quick, refreshing salad of blanched green beans, sliced cucumber and a little lime juice.

Prawn cocktail.

Prawn cocktails with chilli, coriander and lime mayonnaise

The prawn cocktail is served with a zesty chilli, coriander and lime mayonnaise. I find these flavours complement the prawns beautifully. Instead of the baby cos, any crisp lettuce could be used, such as iceberg lettuce, which would give a fun retro touch. Keep the lettuce in the fridge until the last minute so that it is chilled and crisp.

Tomato tart.

Tomato tart

This tart packs a double tomato punch. The richness of the sun-dried tomatoes is balanced with the freshness of the heirlooms.
