Lilly pilly berries have a similar taste to juniper berries, which are traditionally paired with game, but they also have an acidic taste, which cuts through the richness of game sauces. This salad is a perfect complement to any game dish.

Ingredients

5 witlof leaves
60g castor sugar
60g frozen lilly pilly berries, defrosted
60ml walnut oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Method

For lilly pilly dressing, combine sugar and 100ml water in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar (1-2 minutes). Add lilly pilly berries, remove from heat and set aside until berries are plump (5-10 minutes), then drain. Whisk oil and vinegar to combine, season to taste, then add lilly pilly mixture. Place witlof leaves in a large bowl, add dressing just before serving, toss to combine and serve.
