Saltbush & Warrigal Greens Damper

Directions:

• 1Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• 2To a bowl, add the flour and butter and mix together using your hands until fully combined.
• 3Add the saltbush and warrigal greens and mix through.
• 4Add 375 ml water to the mixture, a little at a time, and mix with your fingers until you have a nice sticky dough.
• 5Place some flour on your work surface, then knead the dough until you have a bread dough consistency. Roll into a log, then set aside.
• 6Before using your banana leaf, you need to release the oils to make it flexible and bring out the flavours. Hold the banana leaf over an open gas flame and move across the flame in sections until the oils seep through the entire leaf. If you do not have a gas flame, place in a dry, non-stick frying pan for a few seconds on each side.
• 7Place the dough in the center of the banana leaf. Wrap it, folding over each end, and roll it up like a burrito. Then wrap in aluminum foil using the same method.
• 8Place on the oven shelf and cook for 50–60 minutes.
• 9Serve with plain plant-based butter.
