  1. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

    Comments Off on Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

    With the arrival of Autumn, pumpkin season is here! Don’t let those little seeds go to waste. Roasted pumpkin seeds are healthy, super easy to make and delicious too. Did you know that other types of hard winter squash seeds can be roasted too? Butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash and so on!

    Our recipe includes soaking the seeds for at least 8 hours before roasting. Of course you could skip this step and roast them fresh out of the pumpkin but soaking the seeds makes them easier to digest. Don’t worry, they will still be crunchy (if not more so!) than non-soaked seeds.

  2. Star Anise Apple Croissant Tarte Tatin Recipe by Josh Angus

    Leave a Comment

    This Star Anise Apple Croissant Tarte Tatin by Josh Angus is a take on an international favourite. Tarte Tatin is named after the Tatin sisters who served it as the signature dish in their hotel, the Hôtel Tatin in Lamotte-Beuvron, Loir-et-Cher, 105 miles south of Paris, in the 1880s.

    The story goes that Stéphanie Tatin set out to make a traditional apple pie but accidentally left the apples cooking in butter and sugar for too long. Trying to rescue it by placing a layer of pastry on top, baking it, and serving it upside down, Stéphanie created the world’s first Tarte Tatin!

    Josh used our Copper Tri-Ply Range so find out what we love about it here.

    Ingredients

    • 5 granny smith or braeburn apples
    • 120g caster sugar
    • 85g butter
    • 2 star anise
    • 1 vanilla pod
    • 50g water
    • 1 large sheet of croissant dough pastry or puff pastry, 200g pastry

    Equipment

    Copper Tri-Ply 24cm Non Stick Frying Pan


    Method

    1. Peel and quarter the apples and then slice them evenly into wedges around 3cm thick.
    2. Pre heat oven to 170 -180 degrees.
    3. Heat the water and sugar together in a Copper Tri-Ply 24cm Non-Stick Frying Pan over a medium heat and cook until it is a light amber colour. Stir it for 5 to 7 minutes to avoid any lumps.
    4. Once the colour is achieved, add in butter, scraped vanilla pod, whole vanilla pod, and star anise. Stir constantly to achieve a golden brown colour.
    5. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in thick layer of caramel. Cook on a low heat for a few minutes, slowly turning the apples.
    6. In the meantime, roll the pastry out to 2cm thickness and cut out a large circle to be placed on top of the apples. Use the top of the frying pan as a stencil.
    7. Take the pan off the heat and arrange the apples in a circle or a pretty design, with the star anise and vanilla pod in the middle.
    8. Lay the circle of pastry on top of the apples and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. If you think the apples may need longer just cover the pastry with greaseproof paper and cook it for 10 minutes longer.
    9. Cool for a good 45 minutes, allowing it to set slightly, then invert onto a serving plate (be careful when doing so).
    10. Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard.

    We are delighted to bring you this comforting main course recipe of Artichoke Orzotto with Toasted Pine Nuts. It’s so easy to prepare and the orzo is a wonderful alternative to rice.

    Recipe Courtesy of Great British Chefs


    Serves: 4

    Cooking Time: 30 minutes


    Equipment


    Ingredients

    • 280g of artichoke hearts, (approx. 1 jar of marinated artichokes in oil)

    • 1 leek, finely sliced
    • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
    • 150ml of white wine
    • 300g of orzo

    • 1 handful of soft herbs, chopped (we used parsley, chives and tarragon)
    • 80g of Parmesan, grated

    Cooking Method

    1. Melt 20g of the butter in a saucepan and sweat the leeks and garlic until soft but without colour. Add a pinch of salt.
    2. Add the orzo to the pan followed by the wine. Reduce by half.
    3. Once the wine has reduced, add the warm stock, a ladle at a time, until the orzo is cooked through. Wait for the stock to be absorbed by the orzo before adding another.
    4. As the orzo is cooking, place two-thirds of the artichokes in a blender along with the oil. Reserve the remaining third to fold through at the end. Blend the the artichokes to a smooth and creamy purée, adding a splash of water if needed. Taste and season with salt.
    5. Once the orzo is just cooked, fold through the puree and stir through until warmed.
    6. Turn off the heat and fold through the Parmesan and remaining butter. Place a lid on the pan and leave to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
    7. As the risotto rests, toast a handful of pine nuts in a hot dry pan until golden.

    This tomato, olive and caper sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the delicate flesh of the lemon sole. A sprinkle of parsley and flaky sea salt is all that’s needed to add the finishing touch. Serve with seasonal steamed greens or a salad on the side.

    Recipe Courtesy of Great British Chefs


    Serves: 2

    Cooking Time: 35 minutes


    Equipment


    Ingredients

    Lemon Sole

    • 1 lemon sole, fins and head removed and de-scaled
    • 2 tbsp of plain flour
    • olive oil
    • 50g of butter, cubed
    • salt
    • pepper

    Sauce

    • 1 knob of butter
    • 4 anchovies
    • 1/2 onion, finely diced
    • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
    • 30g of capers
    • 80g of olives, (we used anchovy stuffed olives)
    • 400g of cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1 handful of parsley leaves, chopped
    • salt
    • pepper

    Cooking Method

    1. Add a knob of butter to a nonstick frying pan and gently fry the onion, garlic and anchovies until the anchovies have started to melt into the butter and the onion and garlic is soft and translucent.
    2. Add the capers and fry for a further minute.
    3. Add the tomatoes and olives and simmer on a low heat until the tomatoes collapse into a sauce.
    4. In the meantime, lightly dust the fish with flour on both sides and season.
    5. Place another nonstick frying pan over a high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully place the fish, top-side down, into the pan. Cook for around 3 minutes or until the fish is starting to turn golden round the edges.
    6. Flip the fish over and cook for 2–3 minutes before adding cubes of butter. When the butter is melted and foaming, tilt the pan towards you and use a spoon to baste the butter back over the fish.
    7. Remove the fish from the pan and drizzle over the browned butter. Leave to rest for a few minutes.

    To serve

    1. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed (the anchovies will have seasoned it to an extent). Stir most of the chopped parsley into the sauce then spoon out onto a serving plate.
    2. Top with the fish and a further sprinkle of parsley and flaky sea salt.
  9. Chicken and Apricot Bellotines with Mushroom and Tarragon Sauce by Great British Chefs

    Comments Off on Chicken and Apricot Bellotines with Mushroom and Tarragon Sauce by Great British Chefs

     

    This is a wonderful way of jazzing up boneless chicken thighs and is sure to impress your guests. The mushroom and tarragon sauce combines beautifully with the chicken and apricot bellotines to create a delicious dinner party dish.

    Recipe Courtesy of Great British Chef


    Serves: 4

    Cooking Time: 2 hours plus 1 hour for the bellotines to set


    Equipment


    Ingredients

    • 8 boneless chicken thighs
    • 8 slices of Parma ham
    • 100g of dried apricots
    • olive oil, for frying
    • 5 button onions, halved
    • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
    • 10 button mushrooms, any larger ones halved
    • 1 handful of dried porcini mushrooms
    • 150ml of white wine
    • 300ml of chicken stock
    • 2 tbsp of créme fraiche
    • 1 tbsp of tarragon, chopped
    • 6 Swiss chard leaves, halved lengthways
    • 200g of basmati rice, or wild rice, cooked

    Cooking Method

    1. Start by making the ballotines. Lay the chicken thigh fillets skin-side down and place 2 dried apricots in the middle of each. Roll the chicken around the apricots, creating a cylindrical shape, then wrap each one in a slice of Parma ham, ensuring the ham covers the seal of the chicken.
    2. Wrap each ballotine tightly in cling film, making them as neat and cylindrical as possible. Transfer to the fridge and leave for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
    3. Meanwhile, place the dried porcini in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave for 20 minutes to rehydrate, then drain and reserve both the liquor and the mushrooms.
    4. Place a sauté pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Take the ballotines out of the fridge, unwrap and fry them until crisp – start by cooking the seam of the Parma ham, as this will help seal them, then roll them around until crisp all over. Once golden, remove from the pan and set aside.
    5. In the same pan, add the button onions cut-side down and cook until golden, then add the garlic and porcini mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the white wine and scrape up any stuck bits with a spatula.
    6. Simmer the white wine until reduced by two-thirds, then add the ballotines back into the pan followed by the chicken stock, the reserved mushroom soaking liquor, any leftover apricots and the button mushrooms. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and simmer for another 20 minutes.
    7. Once the chicken has cooked through, remove them from the sauce and set aside. If the sauce needs reducing further then cook for another 5 minutes, then add the chard leaves and stir in the crème fraiche.

    To Serve

    Return the chicken to the pan, check for seasoning, finish with the chopped tarragon and bring the pot straight to the table with the cooked rice.

  10. Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs by Emma Porter

    Comments Off on Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs by Emma Porter

     

    We are thrilled to share this recipe by Emma Porter with you for Sweet Potato and Kale Rosti with Baked Eggs. Emma created this a few years ago and it has since become one of her most popular recipes on her blog; it’s also one of her favourites to make on a Saturday morning for guests. It’s bright, vibrant and packed with flavour and texture, as well as protein and all the vital vitamins and nutrients.

    Quick, simple and only one pan needed – perfect for slicing and sharing.

    Serves: 4

    Preparation Time: 10 minutes

    Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes


    Equipment


    Ingredients

    • 230g sweet potato, peeled 1 tsp coconut oil or butter
    • 240g red onion, finely chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • ½ tsp sea salt
    • 2 large handfuls of kale, chopped
    • 4 large eggs juice of ½ lime
    • cracked black pepper
    • a small handful of coriander leaves, chopped, to garnish
    • dried chilli flakes, to taste (optional)

    Cooking Method

    1. Using a food processor fitted with the ‘grating’ attachment, coarsely grate the sweet potato – you can use a box grater instead, but you will need plenty of elbow grease.
    2. Melt the coconut oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high Add the grated sweet potato and fry for 2–3 minutes until it softens. Add the red onion and garlic and fry for a further 3–4 minutes until the onion softens and is translucent.
    3. Add the salt and place the kale on top of the vegetables, letting the leaves steam a little before mixing them You will be amazed at how much the volume of kale reduces and how quickly!
    4. Firmly press the mix down and reduce the heat to medium, to avoid the bottom burning.
    5. Crack the eggs on top and leave to cook through for 6–7 minutes.
    6. You can finish the dish off under the grill if you like a crisp top – I don’t usually do this, however, as I prefer my yolks runny.
    7. Once everything is cooked through, drizzle the lime juice over the dish, scatter over the chopped coriander to garnish and add some cracked black pepper and dried chilli to taste, if you like.

    To serve

    1. Serve immediately or allow to cool, then slice up and enjoy when ready.
