  1. Wynne’s Mam’s Cawl

    Comments Off on Wynne’s Mam’s Cawl

    Celebrity Masterchef Champion of 2023, Wynne Evans, first burst onto our screens as Gio Compario, ‘the Go Compare man’. Singer, presenter and actor Wynne wowed the Masterchef kitchen with his skill and bold flavours, going on to ‘wynne’ the competition! We are thrilled to bring you ‘Wynne’s Mam’s Cawl’.

    After the handle of one of his old pans fell off, Wynne was delighted to partner up with ProWare for pans that will truly last a lifetime with handles you can count on. Of this dish, Wynne said:

    “Traditional Welsh Lamb Cawl (Lamb & Vegetable Stew) is often seen as being the national dish of Wales. This recipe was my mum’s or mam as we call them here. It’s based on a traditional Welsh recipe for Cawl but uses lamb steaks in place of a lamb joint as was commonly used in times gone by. As is the traditional way to serve Welsh Lamb Cawl, I suggest you pair this recipe with a delicious crusty bread roll and a chunk of delicious Caerphilly cheese!”

    Wynne uses our Copper Tri-Ply range so see why we love it here.

    Serves: 6
    Prep time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 2 hours

    Ingredients

    • 750g Welsh Lamb Steaks (diced, or Lamb neck fllets)
    • 1 tbsp flour (mixed with a pinch of salt & pepper)
    • Rapeseed Oil
    • 4 large potatoes (scrubbed and diced)
    • 4 large carrots (peeled & diced)
    • ½ swede (peeled & diced)
    • 2 parsnips (peeled & diced)
    • 3 leeks (trimmed, sliced & rinsed thoroughly, greens and whites)
    • Sea salt & ground black pepper (to season)
    • Fresh parsley (chopped, to garnish)
    • Crusty bread (to serve)
    • Caerphilly Cheese (to serve)

    Equipment

    Cooking Method for Wynne’s Mam’s Cawl

    1. Dredge the diced lamb in the seasoned flour, and in a large stockpot, heat the oil until hot; add the floured, diced lamb and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring all the time, until the lamb has a golden brown crust.
    2. Turn the heat down, add 2 litres of water, before adding the diced potatoes, carrots, swede and parsnips. Season to taste with salt and pepper, place a lid on the pot and simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked.20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the chopped leeks, replace the lid and continue to cook.
    3. Check and adjust the seasoning, scatter the chopped fresh parsley over the cawl, then serve in warmed soup bowls, giving each person some meat, vegetables and the broth. Delicious with crusty bread and Caerphilly cheese.

    Note from Wynne – it’s better if made the day before serving. To serve, skim off any fat and reheat gently until piping hot and then serve as before.

    Comments Off on Beef Cheek Roly Poly with Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelised Onions

    Comments Off on Paneer Tikka Biryani courtesy of Jagruti’s Cooking Odyssey

     

    Paneer and Biryani are two words that can make anyone’s mouth water. Put them together and you have a divine amalgamation of the lightest, most flavourful rice with creamy paneer. Biryani is known mostly as a South Asian dish and comprises layers of rice, either meat or vegetables and plenty of spices. It is an entire meal in itself but can also be eaten with other curries and yogurt dips.

    Normal basmati rice can be used instead of sella basmati rice.
    Marinated paneer can be shallow fried in a pan over the stovetop before making paneer tikka masala.
    You can ‘DUM’ biryani on a stovetop instead of baking it in the oven. For this method, put the pot on a direct flame, and keep the heat on a medium flame then lower it down totally and let the biryani cook for another 10 minutes.

  7. Venison Casserole with Caramelized Quince by Leiths School of Food and Wine

    Comments Off on Venison Casserole with Caramelized Quince by Leiths School of Food and Wine

    The deep richness of the venison marries beautifully with the caramelised fruit creating a warming meal to take you through the bleakest winter night. For many people Quince is a sign of late autumn and winter, they have a delicate sweet perfume which in this recipe is enhanced by the cider vinegar, star anise and cinnamon. If you can’t find quince Williams pears or Golden Delicious apples can be used as an alternative. Tip: It is better to start this the night before to allow time for the venison to marinate.

    Serves: 4

    Equipment

    Ingredients

    • 675g venison

    For the marinade

    • 5 tablespoons sunflower oil
    • 1 onion, sliced
    • 1 carrot, sliced
    • 1 stick of celery, sliced
    • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
    • 6 juniper berries
    • 1 slice of lemon
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 290ml red wine
    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 6 black peppercorns

    For the casserole

    • 1 tablespoon oil
    • 30g butter
    • 110g onions, peeled
    • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
    • 110g button mushrooms
    • 2 teaspoons plain flour
    • 150ml brown stock
    • 1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
    • salt and freshly ground black pep

    For the caramelized quinces

    • 100g caster sugar
    • 100ml cider vinegar
    • 2 whole star anise
    • 1 cinnamon stick, broken in ½
    • 2 quinces
    • 50g butter

    To garnish

    • chopped fresh parsley

    Cooking Method

    1. Cut the venison into large cubes, trimming away any tough membrane or sinew.
    2. Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl and add the venison. Mix well, cover and leave in a cool place or in the refrigerator overnight.
    3. Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3.
    4. Lift out the venison cubes and pat dry with absorbent paper. Strain the marinade, reserving the liquid for cooking.
    5. Heat half the oil in a heavy saucepan and brown the venison cubes a few at a time. Place them in a casserole. If the bottom of the pan becomes brown or too dry, pour in a little of the strained marinade, swish it about, scraping off the sediment stuck to the bottom, and pour over the venison cubes. Then heat a little more oil and continue browning the meat.
    6. When all the venison has been browned, repeat the déglaçage (boiling up with a little marinade and scraping the bottom of the pan).
    7. Now melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic until the onions are pale brown all over. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for 2 mins.
    8. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually add the strained marinade and stock, stirring to keep the mixture smooth, return to the heat and stir until boiling, again scraping the bottom of the pan. When boiling pour over the venison.
    9. Add the redcurrant jelly. Season with salt and pepper.
    10. Cover the casserole and cook in the heated oven for about 2 hours or until the venison is very tender.
    11. Meanwhile make the caramelized quinces. Put the sugar in a small pan with the vinegar and 200ml water. Over a low heat, dissolve the sugar then add the star anise and cinnamon stick. Bring up to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Peel and core the quinces and cut into quarters or thick slices depending on their size. Add to the pan and poach until just tender. That will take about 10 minutes.
    12. Drain the quinces from the syrup and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Melt the butter over a medium heat and fry the quinces until golden.
    13. Lift the venison, mushrooms and onions with a slotted spoon into a serving dish. Boil the sauce fast until reduced to a shiny, almost syrupy consistency.
    14. Pour the sauce over the venison and garnish with the caramelized quinces and chopped parsley.
