YUNA is a farming area 75 kilometres north east of Geraldton and we have a very active Yuna CWA Branch made up of 21 local members.
With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social isolation requirements, we have turned our attention to our vegetable gardens and home cooking in 2020.
This has led to the production of a Yuna CWA Cookbook, showcasing our everyday cooking favourites and containing more than 300 recipes and 65 pages of photos.
The two recipes below are from the cookbook, using our homegrown meat and vegetables.

Lupin Crusted Dorper Lamb
Recipe supplied by Yuna CWA member Nicole Batten.
Ingredients:
Roasted lupin crumbs (use purchased flakes and roast) or you can substitute Panko breadcrumbs
Plain flour seasoned with Moroccan spice
Egg, beaten
Dorper lamb loin chops
Method
1. Crumb loin chops with seasoned flour (make sure they are well-seasoned), egg and lupin crumbs.
Lupin crumbs offer a nutty flavour to the dish.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in a moderate oven until lupin crumbs become crusty and brown.
Be careful not to overcrowd the oven tray, otherwise they will become soggy instead of crispy.
3. Drain on a paper towel and serve with a side salad from your vegetable patch.
