  2. Pixar Ratatouille Recipe by Josh Angus

    Leave a Comment

     

    Pixar’s animated movie Ratatouille won our hearts when it was released in 2007 and now, thanks to star chef, Josh Angus, you can make the beautiful signature dish yourself!

    About Josh Angus…

    Head Chef at Michelin Starred restaurant Hide Ground in the heart of London, Josh Angus has worked everywhere from Raymond Blanc’s renowned Le Manoir to Hong Kong with Shane Osborn. He was even the private chef for the American Ambassador! We’re so grateful to Josh for showing us how to make our very own Pixar-style Ratatouille!

    Josh says: “This dish very visual & has the wow factor, perfect for a party, can be eaten on its own with some eggs or a perfect side dish with leg of lamb or Roast chicken.”

    Ingredients

    3 tomatoes
    1 large yellow courgette
    1 large green courgette
    2 small marrow
    2 small aubergines
    1 celery
    1 large white onion
    2 red peppers
    2 large tomatoes
    2 bay leaves
    ½ bunch basil
    10g red wine vinegar
    5 sprigs thyme
    40g grated parmesan (more for grating on top if wanted)
    30g double cream
    8g salt
    6g sugar

    Equipment

    Copper Tri-Ply 24cm Sauté Pan

    Method

    1. Place the red peppers whole with olive oil rubbed all over them then in a hot oven at 180C for 15 to 20 minutes until they break down & colour. Then leave to rest in a bowl with cling film.

    2. First slice the courgettes, marrow & aubergine on a mandolin to about 2cm thick, if you don’t have mandolin you can use a sharp knife but take your time so it is tidy for presentation. Next slice 3 tomatoes the same thickness as other veg & lay all the veg on a tray nicely stacked together. Place a damp cloth over the vegetables & store in the fridge for later.

    3. Don’t discard the trim from the vegetables roughly chop to use in the sauce later, just discard the roots.

    4. Finely chop the onions, celery & garlic, lightly sweat in olive oil on a medium heat in copper tri ply saute pan with lid on until soft & translucent. Make sure to keep checking them there not catching on the pan.

    5. Blanch the rest of tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds then into ice water. Peel skin off & discard. Then roughly chop.

    6. From the peepers earlier discard the seeds & skin, then roughly chop.

    7. Add all the rest of the chopped vegetables to the onions in the pan then continue to cook on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Deglaze with the vinegar

    8. Add salt, sugar, bay leaf, thyme & 3 basil stalks with leafs on. Cover with water then cook down simmering on a low heat.

    9. Once reduced remove bay leaf & thyme, then blend until smooth adding the cream, grated parmesan, 6 basil leaves whilst hot & still blending. Taste may need more salt & add a little pepper to your taste buds.

    10. Building the ratatouille, have the sauce evenly spread on the bottom of a copper tri 24cm saute pan you don’t have to use all the sauce you can leave some on the side to have later, I used around half to ¾.

    11. On top of the sauce you want to take the vegetables you sliced earlier & create a pattern around evenly until the whole pan is full & no gaps, take your time & be precise if you can. (See picture) season the veg with salt & brush or drizzle with olive oil.

    12. Bake in oven at 160c with a lid of greaseproof for 45 minutes or until veg is cooked though & bubbling. Remove grease proof & bake in oven for 5 minutes.

    13. Once out garnish with basil.

  3. Pan-fried Lemon Sole with Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce by Great British Chefs

    Comments Off on Pan-fried Lemon Sole with Tomato, Olive and Caper Sauce by Great British Chefs

     

    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.

Likewise, they can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until needed.

  5. Chilean Bean Stew with Tomato Salad

    Comments Off on Chilean Bean Stew with Tomato Salad

    This Chilean Bean Stew (also known as Porontas Granados ) with Tomato Salad is my husband’s favourite vegan meal. Coming from a big meat eater, I think that might mean something. I’ve made this recipe many times before; for family, vegan/vegetarian friends and also big dinner parties too and the feedback is always really good often with people asking for the recipe…so here goes!

    ProWare's Chilean Bean Stew

    I love this recipe as it’s hearty yet somewhat light when served with a topping of tomato salad. It is the perfect post exercise recipe as you can make it before if you want and heat it up when you get in. It’s fairly quick to make though as far as stew’s go because of the lack of meat you don’t need to slow cook it for very long.

    Ingredients Chilean Bean Stew, butternut squash, leeks, corn, basil, tomatoes, red pepper, coriander, onion, lime

    Also, this recipe is fabulous made in the autumn when pumpkin and squash are in season, so do give a go in the next few weeks. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

  6. Fresh Tomato Pasta

    2 Comments

    This dish is a regular in our house since my father-in-law made it for my husband and me a few years ago. It’s based on a recipe from the Silver Spoon Pasta cookbook, if you haven’t heard of the Silver Spoon cookbook this review of their pasta book is worth a read. For this recipe I’ve increased the amount of tomatoes and pasta, because the tomatoes are my favourite part and we tend to eat larger portions of pasta than the original recipe calls for. We also added the Parmesan and Pecorino.

    Here is the tomato mixture ready to be covered and left to sit for 20 minutes.  This helps intensify the flavour in the tomatoes as well as infusing them with garlic.

    I usually serve this pasta dish with meat balls, but it is great on its own too!

    Kids in the Kitchen

    Herbs – The basil leaves need tearing or slicing, so get those little fingers to work. Get them to count out the 10 needed and tear them into the bowl for the tomatoes.

    Tomatoes – One for the older children as slicing tomatoes can be tricky without a sharp knife. I find sometimes using a serrated knife can do the job really well so let them try this and make sure to supervise too.

    Grating – Grating, especially hard cheeses like the ones in this recipe are a great way to get kids of all ages involved. If you have a multiple sided grater, let the child choose what side they use or if you have a rotary grater too this can be a lot of fun and great for fine motor skills too!

    Serves: 4
    Prep time: 5 minutes (plus 20 minute wait time)
    Cooking time: 10-12 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 600g Plum, cherry or any smaller tomatoes
    •  1-1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
    •  Freshly ground pepper
    •  2 cloves garlic, peeled and squashed using the side of a knife
    •  10 basil leaves, torn or sliced
    •  4 tablespoons olive oil
    •  400g linguine or choice of pasta
    •  80g of Parmesan or suitable vegetarian substitute, grated (Reserve 10g for serving)**
    •  70g of Pecorino, grated**

    Equipment

    Cooking Method

    1.  Slice the tomatoes into quarters by slicing from where the stem attaches to the bottom. Place in a bowl with garlic and basil, and stir in the sea salt, ground pepper and olive oil. Cover with a plate and leave to sit for 20-25 minutes, stirring once throughout the process.
    2. Cook the linguine in the sauce pan to desired tenderness. Strain the pasta through a sieve and return the pasta to the sauce pan, however the sauce pan does not need to be returned to heat.
    3. Add the cheese to the sauce pan and stir well until melted. Remove the garlic pieces from the tomato mixture then add the tomatoes to the pasta and stir well.  Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan and enjoy.

    *Make it vegetarian – find suitable vegetarian alternative cheese to grate into and over the pasta. Serve without meatballs.

    **Make it vegan – omit all cheese and add 5-10 grams nutritional yeast. Serve without meatballs.
