Barbecue duck char siu & pineapple tart pie at Not Your Grandma’s Pantry
Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at Not Your Grandma's Pantry is barbecue duck char siu & pineapple tart pie.
A flaky, buttery crust made with Inglenook Dairy butter wraps tender Luv-a-Duck duck cooked in spices, caramelised shallots and topped with spiced pineapple jam.
The pie is seasoned with The 5th Season artisan salt and finished with a traditional hand-latticed crust (extra crumble) inspired by Malaysia’s beloved pineapple tart.
It's served with a punchy mandarin ginger sambal, sweetened with Backyard Beekeeping Ballarat honey.
"Inspired by the festive flavours of my Malaysian heritage and crafted with Ballarat’s finest local produce, this pie brings together the buttery nostalgia of pineapple tarts and the smoky richness of hawker-style duck," chef Lilly Wright said.
