    5. In a pan (we used our ProWare Kitchen milk pan) add all the ingredients and then stir over a low heat until you have a syrupy consistency. Take off the BBQ, strain and then set aside.
    6. In a large bowl mix together the cornflour, plain flour smoked paprika, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, and onion salt.
    7. On the BBQ (we used our ProWare Kitchen sauté pan) add the rapeseed oil. Heat up the pan over the charcoal to a temperature of around 170C/180C. Do not fill any higher than two thirds of the height of the chicken thighs.
    8. Reheat the BBQ sauce.
    9. Toss the chicken thighs in the flour mix and cover well. Next, fry the chicken in batches of two until they reach an internal temperature of 80C, and turn them once when cooking. Remove and leave to cool for a few minutes on kitchen roll.

  6. Paul Foster’s Carbonara

    Comments Off on Paul Foster’s Carbonara

    A few words from Paul…

    “Carbonara is one of the dishes that epitomises Italy’s cuisine. It’s simple, beautiful, and pure, but so easy to mess up.

    When I was young my understanding of a carbonara was any pasta, sliced ham, mushrooms, double cream, and cheddar cheese. It wasn’t until 2002 when I was 20 years old and picked up a copy of Heston Blumenthal’s Family Food and read his recipe. Whilst it wasn’t 100% authentic it changed the way I thought about this dish, and I wanted to find out more. I fell in love with the technique of creating the rich sauce through the egg, cheese and pasta water. There is skill and discipline in getting it just right. Too much heat and it’s scrambled egg, not enough and it’s thin and raw tasting without the gloss.

    The classic recipe calls for guanciale which is a cured pig cheek bacon that has a high ratio of fat. I get mine from Salt Pig Curing who are my favourite English charcutier company. Guanciale is hard to get hold of in this country so don’t guilt yourself if you have to use pancetta just get the best you can afford, and you will still produce a lovely dish.

    This dish will be quite tricky for novices, but stick at it as practice makes perfect. For professionals, you will notice a little difference in this dish. Whilst I have full respect for the original, this method is slightly tweaked to get a better sauce.

    I had read into this method and was inspired by visit my visit to Lucciano Cucina in Rome. Chef Luciano Monosilio is known as the carbonara king which is a very worthy title in my opinion. He uses the same ingredients apart from switching out some of the pecorino for grana padano, I agree that this gives a better flavour balance.

    The key difference is that instead of making a paste of the cheese and egg yolk he makes almost a hollandaise style sauce using the egg yolks and cheese then whisks in them and guanciale fat. It was without doubt the best carbonara I have ever eaten I was so inspired by this I have done a similar technique below. This gives a more of a custardy kind of feel to the sauce. I will never make it another way now.”

    We don’t know about you, but Paul Foster’s Carbonara is now our ONLY Carbonara!

    Cooking Method for Paul Foster’s Carbonara

    1. Trim the dry exterior off the guanciale, cut into thick lardons around 2cm in width, and then spread them out evenly in a cool dry Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 24cm Frying Pan and heat slowly.
    2. Colour all over and remove from the heat, strain off the fat and keep warm so it doesn’t solidify.
    3. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
    4. Whilst the pasta is cooking, put the egg yolks into a large bowl with a spoon of the pasta water. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk to a light fluffy sabayon.
    5. Finely grate the cheese and whisk it into to the yolks.
    6. Remove from the heat when the egg yolks are light, airy and leave a whisk trail when you lift it.
    7. Season with a twist of black pepper and slowly whisk in the warm guanciale fat.
    8. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce, toss well and add the guanciale. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    9. Twist the pasta in a ladle with large tweezers and spoon into a warm bowl.
    10. Evenly spread out the guanciale and finish the dish with grated pecorino and a twist of black pepper.

  9. Paul Foster’s Valencia Style Paella

    Comments Off on Paul Foster’s Valencia Style Paella

    A few words from Paul…

    “In the UK we tend to think of paella as a seafood rice dish. As tasty as that version is, the original comes from Valencia in Eastern Spain and contains chicken, rabbit, and snails but no seafood.

    I like nothing more than eating a seafood paella full of fresh mussels, langoustines, prawns, and squid with a bottle of white wine by the coast, but as there are so many variations of this dish across Spain, I wanted to develop a recipe that fully respected its origins.

    Eastern Spain is one of the most important rice growing regions in the country. 1200 years ago, rice was introduced to the Spanish moors and the farmers would cook rice in a pan over a wood fire to share for lunch.

    For this dish its best to use the leg, shoulder and wing cuts as they don’t overcook and have a better texture. There are many stories about where the name paella is said to come from but the most likely is that it came from the name of the pan it is cooked and served in.

    Once you have mastered the technique for a paella then you can experiment and adapt the ingredients. The key is the cooking of the rice… don’t be scared of keeping the heat high as that’s what builds the ‘socarrat’ which is the crust that forms on the bottom and sides of the pan, and in my opinion the best part of a good paella.”

    2. In a paella pan or large frying pan, add the oil and heat on high. Next, add the meat (skin side down) and fry on high heat until golden brown.
    3. Add the runner beans to the pan and then fry with the meat for 1 minute.
    4. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and stir well.
    5. Chop the garlic finely and add to the pan, stir and cook for 2 minutes.
    6. Grate the tomato to a pulp and then add it to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until it starts to catch lightly on the bottom of the pan.
    7. Bring the stock to the boil and add to the pan, keeping it on a high heat, so it comes straight back to the boil. Then sprinkle in the saffron and add the butter beans.
    8. Add the bomba rice and stir in well to ensure it is well incorporated.
    9. Keep the rice on full heat for 10 minutes and don’t stir at all.
    10. After 10 minutes, turn down to a low heat and cook for 5/6 minutes.
    11. Remove from the heat, place 2 sprigs of rosemary on top, and cover with a tea towel. Leave it for 2 minutes so the rice takes on the aroma of the rosemary.
    12. Serve immediately in the middle of the table in the cooking pan.

    Cooking Method for our Charred Hispi Cabbage with a Hazelnut and Stilton Crumb

    1. Firstly, heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
    2. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into four to six wedges, but keeping the core intact so the leaves stay together.
    3. Drizzle 1 tbsp of the oil over the wedges and massage into the leaves before sprinkling over a pinch of sea salt.
    4. Add some oil to the non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat until it’s hot, but not smoking. Sear the wedges, cut-side down, for 6-8 mins until blackened and charred, and then turn them over and cook on the other side for another 6-8 mins until they get a really good, dark brown crust.
    5. Transfer to a baking tray, cut-side up, and roast for 10-15 mins until the stalks are tender when pierced with a knife, or transfer to a cooler place on the barbecue and cook until the stalks are tender.
    6. Meanwhile, heat the butter in the stainless steel interior frying pan. Fry the-hazelnuts and breadcrumbs for 2-3 mins until the hazelnuts smell nutty and the breadcrumbs toast.
    7. Add the butter, and stir for a few mins to coat. Stir in the parsley with some seasoning, then pour over the cabbage and dot with Stilton. Return to the oven for 5 mins until the Stilton has melted.
