Cob loaves are an old party/entertaining staple in Aus. There's endless filling options. If you ever feel like making. Heres just two ideas.
Mexican inspired cob
Toppings (optional)
Sour cream
Guacamole
Tasty cheese
Lime
Coriander
Corn chips
Cucumber and capsicum sticks
Salsa
2 large tomatoes
Bunch coriander
1 red onion
1 red capsicum
Filling
250g beef mince
1 brown onion finely diced
1tsp smoked paprika
1stp garlic powder
1 tin black beans
Step 1
To prepare your cob, start by slicing the lid off carefully. Once removed, pull out the filling of the cob so that there is plenty of room inside to add all of the meat and bean mixture. Set aside
Step 2
To make the salsa, dice the fresh ingredients and combine in a bowl with salt and lime juice to taste
Step 3
Heat 1tbs oil in a pan and add diced onion. Stir until translucent and then add the ground beef
Step 4
Once the beef has browned add the garlic powder, smoked paprika and the tin of drained and rinsed beans. Stir gently for 5-10 minutes or until all the meat is cooked through and the beans are warm
Step 5
Spoon the mince mixture into the cob and add grated cheese while the mince is still hot. Add the salsa and toppings to taste
Step 6
Optional: Lightly brush the discarded cob filling with butter and toast under grill until crisp!
Cheesy bacon cob.
1 cob loaf
4 bacon rashers, finely chopped
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
250g cream cheese, softened
300ml thickened cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups (180g) coarsely grated tasty cheddar
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and paprika and cook, stirring, for 5 mins until bacon is crisp and brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
Step 3
Heat oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until onion softens. Stir in two-thirds of the bacon. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the cream cheese, cream and mustard in a large bowl and stir until almost smooth (there will be some lumps). Add the onion mixture, half the spring onion and 11/4 cups (150g) of the cheddar and fold until combined.
Step 5
Use a serrated knife to cut 4cm from the top of the loaf. Remove the bread from the centre of the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Tear the bread centre and lid into 3cm pieces. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the bread shell. Top with remaining cheddar. Place on the prepared tray and arrange the bread pieces around the loaf. Bake for 20 mins or until golden.
Step 6
Sprinkle with the reserved bacon, remaining spring onion and parsley to serve.
