  1. Steak with herb garlic butter

    Comments Off on Steak with herb garlic butter

    A sumptuous steak dish, cooked in garlic and fresh rosemary. Perfect served along side a salad which makes an easy go-to recipe. However you like your steak, it’ll be mouth-watering in this garlic butter!

    We’ve used our Copper Base 24cm frying pan with stainless steel interior. It’s copper base heats up quickly and the aluminium core is excellent at retaining an even heat during cooking.

    Serves: 1
    Prep time: 5 minutes 
    Cooking time: 5 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 rib eye steaks, let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking
    • 2-3 sprigs rosemary, washed and dried
    • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1-2 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • Salt and pepper

    Equipment

    Cooking Method

    1. Put the olive oil in the stainless steel frying pan and heat over high heat until hot.
    2. Place the steak in the centre of the frying pan. Cook until desired doneness. We cooked ours rare which took about 1.5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the steak. Cooking with stainless steel interior pans can take some practice. For example, when cooking meat, if the pan is properly preheated and the oil is hot when the steak is added you need not move it again until it is time to turn it. The meat will seal beautifully and you will be able to lift it from the pan easily, if you try to move it too soon you run the risk of tearing the flesh. For more information check out our blog Non-stick vs Stainless Steel.
    3. In the last minute of cooking add a tablespoon of butter, sliced garlic and rosemary sprigs. Remove steak when done and let rest on a plate. Continue to move garlic around in the pan with rosemary for another minute or until brown, adding the additional tablespoon of butter if desired and then serve with the steaks.

    Comments Off on Pickled Vegetables by Jöro

    This recipe for quick pickled vegetables is effortless, but the end result is a refreshing addition to any plate. Jöro serve these vegetables alongside their Cured Wild Sea Trout recipe and they complement the fish wonderfully. This type of pickling doesn’t require canning, as you tend to use them with a week or so. In addition to this, you can adapt this recipe to use pretty much any vegetable you would like.

    Serves: 6+

    Prep time: 10 minutes

    Resting time: 1 day

    Ingredients

    • 300g white wine vinegar
    • 200g water
    • 100g caster sugar

    • 1 carrot
    • 5 baby onions
    • 1 leek, white/light green part only discarding the dark green tops
    • 1 turnip
    • (any vegetables you like really!)
    • table salt

    Equipment

    Method

    1. Place the vinegar, water, seaweed and sugar in a pan and bring to the boil, season with a pinch of salt to taste.
    2.  Meanwhile, clean and peel the vegetables and cut into desired shapes.
    3. Once the pickling liquid has come to the boil, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, before pouring over the vegetables, then leave to pickle for at least 1 day before using.

  3. Yorkshire Parkin by Jöro

    Comments Off on Yorkshire Parkin by Jöro

    Parkin is a gingerbread cake traditionally made with oats and black treacle. It’s simple to make and is often associated with Yorkshire as well as being eaten on Guy Fawkes Night. Local Sheffield restaurant Jöro have shared their recipe for this cake with us as it’s compliments their Christmas dessert Parfait recipe perfectly, with the spice from the ginger and the creaminess from the Parfait bring out the best in each other.

  4. Dunkertons Cider Chicken

    Comments Off on Dunkertons Cider Chicken

    This recipe is delicious! The creaminess of the sauce along with the sweet crispy topping of the apples is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  Apples are pressed in the autumn in order to make cider, however the key to a good cider is waiting. You must wait until at least February to start drinking it, and the longer you wait, to say June or July, the better it will taste.

    ProWares Hereford Cider Chicken

    We’ve suggested using Dunkertons Black Fox Herefordshire cider in this recipe. A 7% ABV medium dry cider which has a light fizz to it. It has a mellow flavour that is followed by a slight bitter-sweet bite. We consider it one of the most honest/authentic ciders on the UK market.

    The tenderness and flavour of the chicken is delightful. We hope you enjoy this recipe!

    Written by Corin

    Serves: 4

    Prep time: 15 minutes

    Cooking Time: 60 minutes

    Equipment

    Ingredients

    • 8 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in, seasoned with salt and pepper
    • 2 sweet eating apples, 1 peeled and cut in small chunks
    • 3 medium leeks, washed, trimmed and cut into 1 inch chunks
    • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • 500 ml dry cider/Dunkertons Black Fox Cider
    • 1 tablespoon of plain flour
    • 40 g of butter + a little olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon of sugar
    • 5 sprigs of thyme
    • salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 150 ml of double cream

    Cooking Method

    1. In the sauté pan, melt half the butter plus a little olive oil and gently brown the chicken thighs a few pieces at a time. When brown, remove from the pan and set aside on a plate until all chicken thighs have been browned.
    2. Add the garlic and the leeks to the oil/butter remaining in the pan and cook very gently for 10 minutes, turning over from time to time until soft.
    3. Turn up the heat slightly and add half of the apples to the pan with the leeks, just to brown the pieces a little bit.
    4. Now add the flour to the pan, stir for a minute or so to absorb the juices. Gradually add the cider, stirring as you go, so that no lumps form.
    5. Return the chicken to the pan and add 4 sprigs of thyme. Reduce to a very low heat, put the lid on and leave to cook on top of the stove for about 35-40 minutes.
    6. Remove the chicken from the pan again and set aside on a plate. Then simmer the pan juices until reduced by a third. Add the cream and allow to gently heat through. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
    7. While this is heating through, peel and cut the second apple into chunks and sauté with the remaining butter in the small frying pan. Add the sugar to caramelise the apple pieces and cook until tender.
    8. Return the chicken to the pan again and dot with the caramelised apple and the leaves from the remaining sprig of thyme.
    9. Serve alongside some crusty bread, rice or potatoes and a side of vegetables, oh and you can’t forget a glass of lovely dry cider to wash it down with!

  5. Spaghetti and Meatballs

    Comments Off on Spaghetti and Meatballs

    This weekend the England Rugby squad take on Italy in their next match of the Six Nations Rugby tournament. We’ve created this Italian inspired recipe to enjoy while watching the game. To catch up on the previous recipes in this series check out our Côte de boeuf with herb butter which was created for their match against France and our Welsh Rarebit for their match against Wales last week, which if I might say was very exciting!

    This healthy but also quite hearty meal is perfect for everyone in the family. It’s a great way of getting children who don’t like eating vegetables to eat them as there are so many ‘hidden’ in this recipe. My daughter wouldn’t touch it if she knew what was really in it; she thinks it’s just tomatoes! We’ve used De Cecco spaghetti for this recipe which we love and you can find at most supermarkets in the UK.

    8. Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet and serve with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkling of fresh thyme.

  6. Meatloaf

    Comments Off on Meatloaf

    Despite its European origins, meatloaf is eaten all over the world; a few years ago it was voted the 7th favourite dish in the US. Varieties involve using other ground meat rather than beef, not just poultry but seafood too! You could try wrapping it in ham as they do in Austria, or stuffing it with hard boiled eggs which is popular in Cuba, Germany and Greece. For the leftovers (if there is any!) , fry it and serve for breakfast as they would in the Philippines!

    This is a quick and easy recipe, great for if you want a traditional home cooked meal and you don’t want to be stood in the kitchen for ages making it! This meatloaf can be served with vegetables and gravy, however we paired it with a homemade spicy tomato salsa for a bit of a fresh kick.

  7. Beetroot and Vodka Cured Salmon with Vodka Crème Fraîche

    Comments Off on Beetroot and Vodka Cured Salmon with Vodka Crème Fraîche

    This is a great dish for serving at a party either ‘with drinks’ or as a starter. It can look pretty spectacular but it is so simple to prepare. Almost all the work is done ahead of time.

    Image of ProWare's Beetroot and Vodka Cured Salmon prep

    I do appreciate that raw fish isn’t for everyone but I love it and this is a fantastic way of showcasing the flavour and delicate texture of raw salmon. As a starter serve it with the Vodka Crème Fraîche, a smattering of baby salad leaves and some finely sliced cucumber and radish for a refreshing lift. As an appetizer it works wonderfully with the creme fraîche on a blinis! Garnish with a little parsley or dill.

    Image of Beetroot fresh from the garden

    We got some dirt under our fingers using our gorgeously fresh homegrown beetroot you can see above. Be sure to use a really fresh piece of salmon as well. To acknowledge Scottish Food Fortnight we bought a beautiful piece of Scottish salmon and sourced Holy Grass Vodka. Holy Grass is hand-crafted by Dunnet Bay Distillers. This is not necessarily vodka as you know it – smooth and fresh, infused with sweet Highland vapours I think I’ve found my new favourite spirit!

    Image of ProWare's Beetroot and Vodka Cured Salmon recipe

     

    Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 24-48 hours marinade)

    Ingredients

    For the salmon

    • 1 side of salmon (skin & pin bones removed)
    • 1 medium raw beetroot, grated (it is a good idea to wear gloves for this!)
    • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
    • 1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns
    • 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 double shot of vodka
    • Zest of one lemon

    For the crème fraîche

    • 200ml crème fraîche
    • 1 single shot of vodka
    • 3 tablespoons horseradish

    Equipment

    • Grater
    • Pestle & mortar
    • Zester
    • Cling film
    • Mixing bowl
    • Whisk
    • Sharp knife for slicing

    Method

    1. Place the salmon on some cling film and onto a tea towel or some kitchen roll.
    2. Grind the coriander seeds and black peppercorns in a pestle and mortar.
    3. Combine the spices with the beetroot, salt, sugar, vodka and lemon zest.
    4. Spread the mixture over the top of the salmon and press down lightly.
    5. Wrap well in cling film to keep all the juices in. You could also wrap the tea towel or the kitchen roll around the salmon so that it mops up any juices that might escape.
    6. Place the salmon between two boards / trays and weigh down with cans or metal weights. Place the salmon into the fridge and leave for 24 – 48 hours.
    7. Prepare the creme fraîche about an hour before serving – whisk the vodka and horseradish into the crème fraîche and chill for an hour.
    8. Shortly before serving un-wrap the salmon and rinse of the marinade.
    9. Slice the salmon very thinly and serve together with the crème fraiche.

  8. Guacamole for a Crowd

    Comments Off on Guacamole for a Crowd

    My friends and I can’t seem to get enough of guacamole at the moment. Someone brings it to every gathering or get together we have. We have it with tortilla chips, freshly cut vegetables, flat bread, anything really. This recipe can be served as a snack for a group of people or split between a few people as more of a main. BUT Avocados can be expensive, so give your local markets a try as they sometimes have amazing deals. My friends swear by the Moor Market in Sheffield if you’re local. Also a great way to save is to buy them on offer. The avocados I’ve used in this recipe are from the co-op but were reduced and perfectly ripe, bar one which was slightly too far gone.

    guac 2

    Another safe bet with avocados, as timing can be tricky, is frozen avocados. Yes, you can freeze avocados! This is fab if you buy a bunch at a market or on offer, just make sure to remove the stone and skin before freezing. Even more exciting is that Tesco stock bags of frozen avocado halves at a pretty reasonable price too. (Quick Tip – these are in with frozen vegetable, not fruit section!) Perfect for keeping in the freezer for your last minute avocado needs. I must admit I’ve even defrosted them slightly in the microwave or in a freezer bag in some warm water, when in a hurry to use them.

    This recipe is packed with so much vegetable goodness it’s unbelievable. The seasonal foods for June we’ve used are tomatoes, garlic, red onions and coriander, as well as carrots and courgettes served alongside to dip in the guacamole.

    Written by Corin

    • juice from 2 limes
    • Half of a small chilli pepper, or a pinch of chilli flakes

  10. Red Currant and Elderflower Ice Cream

    Comments Off on Red Currant and Elderflower Ice Cream

    Summer has certainly hit us this month and who can complain? With the lovely heat everything has come into full force, flowers blooming left, right and centre and not to mention the summer fruits. We have been up to our ears with red currants this year and have been investigating what to do with them. We’ve found a lot of recipes that call for red currant jelly, but not as many calling for fresh red currants.

    ProWare's Red Currant and Elder flower Ice Cream

    With a desire to make something other than red currant jelly we decided to try something a little bit different and definitely weather appropriate, red currant and elderflower ice cream. The tartness of fresh redcurrants is really nice alongside this rich ice cream so make sure you reserve some to garnish when serving. We picked a full punnet and stewed them with 50g of caster sugar and 2 tablespoons of water per 450g of fruit.

    Any remaining stewed fruit is wonderful used as a topping for yoghurt, or added to dressings for salads, marinades for meat or even as a fruit syrup for a cocktail (see below for a below recipe for Red Currant Cosmo).

    ProWare's Red Currant and Elderflower Ice Cream

    If you’re looking for a few more recipes using fresh red currants we recommend checking these ones out:

    Written by Corin

    Serves: 4-6

    Prep time: 15 minutes

    Cooking Time: 15 minutes

    Cooling/Freezing Time: 24 hours or until suitable frozen

    Ingredients

    • 450g fresh red currants
    • 50g sugar
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 2-3 tablespoons elderflower cordial
    • 500ml of double cream
    • 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
    • 4 egg yolks
    • 60g sugar
    • 100ml water

    Equipment

    Cooking Method

    For the red currants

    1. Thoroughly wash the red currants and remove their stems before placing in a small saucepan with the 50g of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
    2. Bring to a gentle simmer over a low to medium heat stirring often taking care the fruit does not burn. Once the currants are softened use the spoon to break them down further against the sides of the saucepan.
    3. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour the fruit into a metal or nylon sieve which is placed over a bowl just a little bit larger than the sieve. Use a spoon to push the fruit around in the sieve to help get all the liquid through until what remains in the sieve is fairly dry. Discard the pulp and seeds.
    4. Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of the elderflower cordial into the juice from the currants and set to one side.

    For the ice cream

    1. In the smaller saucepan combine the egg yolks, 60g sugar and 100ml water. Over a low heat cook gently, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, pour the double cream into a large bowl and whisk until it forms soft peaks, add the vanilla extract and whisk it in gently.
    3. Fold the cooled egg mixture into the double cream. Add around 230-250ml (1 cup) of the red currant and elderflower juice and mix thoroughly. Keep any left over juice in a small container in the fridge to drizzle over top the ice cream when serving.
    4. Place the mixture in a Tupperware container or loaf tin and put in the freezer.
    5. Every half hour, for the first few hours remove the ice cream from the freezer and gently stir to avoid ice crystals forming in the freezing process. Make sure to scrape the sides to loosen the more frozen parts.
    6. Leave the ice cream in the freezer until suitably frozen.
    7. Serve with garnishing of fresh red currants and red currant and elderflower juice.
