Picture
50g butter
50g demerara sugar
50g golden syrup
50g plain flour (could use GF flour too)
25g dried cranberries
25g sultanas
25g flaked almonds
25g hazelnuts
200g dark chocolate

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with baking pachment
Put the butter, sugar and syrup into a ban and heat gently until everything has melted. remove from the heat and add all the other ingredients apart from the chocolate.

Give the mixture a good mix until everything is combined then using a spoon place teaspoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leave enough space between each florentine as they spread when they cook. You will find that you may have to do a couple of rounds of baking until you have used up all the mixture, alternatively line a second baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden, remove from the oven and allow to cool before carefully lifting them off the baking parchment with a fish slice or palette knife onto a cooling rack.

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof dish  over a pan of hot water, then spread the chocolate onto the flat side of the florentine mixture, return to the cooling rack, chocolate side up and allow to cool and set.

The florentines will last 5 days in an airtight container

Chive Cheddar and spinach tortilla

26/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Ingredients:
8 eggs (11 if you do not want to use cream)
250ml of cream
200g grated cheddar
300g waxy potatoes, boiled and chopped into chunks
1 bunch of chives chopped
two handfuls of spinach
salt and pepper to taste


As you can see from the ingredients this is a rather indulgent Spanish tortilla, most tortillas consist of eggs, onion and potatoes. However if you want to make one that is extremely decadent try our recipe!

Line a 20cm cake tin with baking parchment and pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius
In another large bowl, crack all the eggs and give them a good whisk, then simply add all the remaining ingredients and give everything a good mix. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and then pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin, place in the oven and cook until the mixture is set in the middle. This can take up to 40 minutes as the quantities above make quite a deep tortilla.

Once set and out of the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes and then lift out of the cake tin. At this point the tortilla can be cut and eaten, however it may be a bit messy, so we tend to leave it to cool completely before slicing, it can be re-heated at a later date.
We think tortilla is best served with a lovely big green salad and some vinaigrette.

0 Comments

 
Picture
Ingredients (serves 4)
8 medium sized tomatoes
100g white quinoa cooked and cooled
100g red quinoa cooked and cooled
1 carrot grated
1 courgette grated
6 cloves of garlic grated
bunch of coriander chopped finely
1 pack of feta cheese crumbled
salt and pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

With a very sharp knife, carefully slice the top off each tomato and then carefully scoop out the flesh and the central core of the tomato, making sure not to make a hole at the bottom.
Then in a bowl mix all the remaining ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture kind of clumps together. check for seasoning.
With a spoon pack the mixture into each tomato, once filled put the top of the tomato back on. If you have any of the mixture left over you could always just make them into patties and fry them to make veggy burgers.
Place the tomatoes on a baking tray and place in the oven at around 170 degrees Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes until the tomato is nice and tender.
Serve hot with a crisp green salad and some French dressing.

0 Comments

 
Picture
500g self raising flour (can be Gluten free)
85g sugar - unrefined if possible
3 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp baking powder
250ml orange juice - freshly squeezed if poss
125ml oil or coconut oil
1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax and 2 tbsp water mixed)
1 tsp vanilla extract
icing
icing sugar
orange juice


Really simple vegan cake that stays all soft and sticky!
Add the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder into a bowl and mix. Add the orange juice and the oil. If you are using coconut oil, probably best to gently melt it first. Add the flax egg and the vanilla and give everything a good mix. Grease an 18cm - 20cm cake tin and pour in the mixture. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for thirty minutes. it will be ready when a knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
The icing is more of a drizzle so mix 100g icing sugar with the juice of two oranges and half a tbsp of hot water and give everything a good mix to get rid of any lumps, If the icing is too watery add a little more icing sugar and if it is too stiff add more orange juice or water. Drizzle over the top of the cake so that it dribbles over the sides and forms a puddle at the bottom.

Picture
300g rhubarb cut into slices
300g cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
600g unrefined granulated sugar (or sugar alternative)

This quantity should make approx 4 jars of a jam, so first of all wash all the jars and then place in a medium hot oven 5 to 10 mins.
Put the rhubarb and apple in a large heavy based pot, with a few tablespoons of water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat, put the lid on and allow to simmer for 25 mins.
With a masher mash any lumps. Add the sugar, turn up the temperature and cook for a further 10 minutes or so. Add the the lemon juice. When the thermometer reaches 103 degrees Celsius, take a spoonful of the jam and put it on a pre chilled plate, leave it for a few moments, then nudge it with a spoon and if it wrinkles it is ready.

Pour the jam into the sterilised jars and seal the lid tightly. The jam should keep for a few months, however once opened keep refrigerated.

16/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Makes 1 x 20cm tray
225g plain flour
165g butter
80g pecan - chopped
1tsp baking powder
175g demerara sugar
80g maple syrup
2 eggs beaten
170g white chocolate roughly chopped

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius and grease and line a baking tray.

Melt the butter in a pan, you will start to see white solids at the bottom of the pan, one they turn golden, remove from the pan, this will give a nice nutty flavour. Set aside in a bowl. Then toast the pecans until they are giving of a nice nutty smell too.

Whisk in the sugar and maple syrup to the butter and then followed by the eggs. Carefully fold in the flour and baking powder to this mixture. Finally gently mix in the pecans and the white chocolate. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 mins until it is set on top. You really do not want to overdue the blondies as you want that dense fudgy consistency, so don't worry if it feels a bit squidgy still. Put in the fridge to cool down quickly or even better prepare an ice bath and dunk the tin into the ice  bath to cool the blondies very quickly, making sure not to drown them!!

Once cool, cut and serve - yum!

0 Comments

 
Picture
Makes approx 12 cookies
96g coconut sugar (could use date syrup/maple syrup instead)
2 tablespoons coconut milk/almond milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
half a teaspoon vanilla extract
85g no added sugar or salt peanut butter
11g or 1.5 tablespoons of self raising gluten free flour or coconut flour
45g sesame seeds
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
90g rolled oats

These are really quick and easy to make. Great for making with children too as the results are almost instant. I tested them out on my daughter and she loved them.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Put the coconut/almond milk the coconut sugar and coconut oil in a pan, bring to a low boil over a low heat.

Measure out all the other ingredients into a bowl, add the wet mixture and mix thoroughly.

Drop heaped spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with a few more sesame seeds.

Cool in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes and they should set nicely.

These are really satisfying and actually have quite a biscuit feel to them. Enjoy!

Brown rice, squash and caraway salad

26/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Serves between 4 and 6 as an accompaniment
300g brown rice
1 butternut squash, washed , de-seeded and chopped into cubes
one big bunch of coriander
juice of 3 lemons
4 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
two tablespoons of caraway seeds

Boil the rice according to the packet instructions in some salted water.  Once cooked drain and run under cold water until cool.
Meanwhile put the squash on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and sprinkly with salt and cook at 180 degrees for about half an hour. As you can see in the picture we have left the skin on the squash, if you do this make sure the squash is more than tender, it needs to be cooked for a bit longer until the skin ever so slightly burns and caramelizes otherwise you are left with lots of skin that is really hard to swallow - yuck!

Get a small pan and toast the caraway seeds until you can smell them. As soon as you smell them remove from the heat and the pan to avoid burning them.

Put the rice into a serving dish, add the squash, caraway, coriander, lemon juice and oil and give everything a gentle mix. Add more salt if necessary.

I would love this salad on its own for my lunch or with some cardamom and herb crusted cod.

Greek style black quinoa salad

26/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Serves between 4 and 6
300g black/red or white quinoa
Punnet of cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber
200g feta cheese
bunch of mint leaves finely chopped

We quite often use black quinoa at the deli, as it looks striking as well as having a good bite to it. However if you can only get your hands on white quinoa that will do, however it may be a little mushier.
Get a large pan of boiling water and pour the quinoa in and allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. It is pretty similar to cooking rice, you will know when it is ready when the grains are tender but still have some bite to them. I also quite often add a tablespoon of veg stock to the water as this then gives the quinoa a background flavour. once it is cooked, drain with a sieve and run under some cold water for a few seconds and then allow to cool

Next get the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Get the cucumber, cut it length ways down the middle and with a spoon scoop out the seeds. Cut the cucumber into half moon shapes.  chop the bunch of mint nice and finely.

Put the quinoa into a large bowl and add the cucumber tomatoes and mint. Then simply crumble in the feta. As you can see from this photo we used quite a lot of feta, so it is up to you if you want it quite feta heavy or not! This salad is also pretty minty, which I think works really well, so make sure not to just scatter a few mint leaves over the top, be brave and add quite a lot and then you will get the lovely contrast between the mint and the salt.

Serves 4-6
two tins of cannellini beans
2 courgettes
punnet of cherry tomatoes
two medium peppers
6 basil leaves
4 garlic cloves
juice of two lemons

salt and pepper to taste

This is a super quick, easy and tasty salad to prepare.

First of all drain the cannellini beans and give them a rinse under cold water. Put them in a bowl.
Get hold of a peeler and peel the courgette into thin strips. You may find this easier to do if you chop the courgette in half first. Chop the tomatoes in half and the pepper into little pieces. Add all the vegetables to the beans.

Finely chop or mash the garlic cloves, add them to the oil and the lemon juice and give it a good whisk, add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour over the dressing and mix until everything is coated in the dressing. Tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle on top of the salad.

To make the dressing get a jar of some sort, at the oil, vinegar and brown sauce, put the lid on the jar and give it a good shake. The dressing should be fairly sharp.

Once the potatoes are cooked allow them to cool for 20 minutes. Then peel the eggs and quarter them, carefully add them to the potatoes, then break up the mackerel and scatter over the potatoes, add the capers and the rocket.

baba ganoush

4/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Ingredients:
2 large aubergines
4 cloves of garlic
juice of two lemons
6 tablespoons of oil

You can just see the baba ganoush in the picture...fading into the background. This recipe is truly delicious and I swear will convert any aubergine hater!!

If you have a gas barbecue simply place the aubergines whole on the barbecue for approx 20/30 mins until they are blistered and very squidgy. If you do not have a barbecue do not fear as you can still achieve the smoky flavour by placing the aubergines directly on the flame on your gas hob (we do this at the deli) You just need to turn the aubergines over occasionally and accept that your kitchen may get a bit smoky. If you do not have a gas hop you can just roast the aubergines in the oven until they are soft, however you will not get the lovely smoky taste.

Once the aubergines are cooked and cooled a bit, scoop out all the flesh and place in a food processor, add the garlic, some of the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and blitz, while it is on add some of the oil, you want the aubergine and oil to emulsify and become beautifully smooth and silky. At this point stop the machine and have a look and a taste. Add more oil, lemon or salt until you get the perfect flavour combination for you. I like mine to have a slight kick of lemon but not enough to overpower the delicate smoky flavour.

You can have baba with so many things - it is just one of those amazing dips that transform a rather plain dish into something really delicious.

Butternut squash, ras el hanout & chilli sauce

4/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
half a butternut squash
6 cardamom pods husks removed
half a teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon thyme
half teaspoon cinnamon
1 hot chilli pepper
approx 4 tablespoons of oil
salt to taste


Scoop out any seeds that are in the squash, then place in the oven, skin on for about half an hour at about 180 degrees. Once the squash is cooked through, tender and squashy, remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Meanwhile prepare the spice blend. Ras el hanout means 'top of the shop' so really it can include as many spices and herbs as you wish. However I would definitely include cloves and allspice as that forms the basis of the flavour.  Grind all the spices together for a few seconds (minus the chilli) and then add a little bit of oil to form a paste.

Once the squash has cooled, scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Put the flesh into a food processor and add the spice blend, a little bit of salt and a couple of tablespoons of oil. Blitz until the mixture forms a thick liquid add a little more oil if needed. Then add a hot chilli pepper and blitz again until all the chilli is chopped up and dispersed .

The dip/sauce I made was pretty fiery, so add as little or as much chilli as you dare!!
This dip would be good with so many things, I had it with the Iranian lamb meatballs, (recipe on website) however it would be equally complimentary to some meaty white fish or simply as a dip for roast potatoes.

Iranian style lamb meatballs

4/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Meatballs - Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
1kilo lamb mince
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 bunch coriander finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped
250g shelled pistachios
2 tablespoons sumac
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric



These meatballs are divine, really light, packed full of flavour and go amazingly with Iranian steamed rice, roast potatoes coated in cumin and turmeric or even pitta breads....
To start make the tomato sauce, roughly cut up the tomatoes and place in a large pan with a good glug of oil, then add the garlic and cook for 10 minutes until the tomatoes are softened, then add the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and honey, stir for a bit then add the passata. Add salt and pepper to taste and then allow to simmer for a good half an hour.

Meanwhile make the meatballs.
If you have a food processor blitz the nuts, coriander, garlic and onion together. If not finely chop everything. Then get a large bowl and add all the ingredients and some salt and mix thoroughly with your hands. Take your time with this and really mash everything together, so that the meat is quite smooth and paste like. Once everything is combined, roll into little balls.
Get a frying pan with some oil and fry off the meatballs in batches until the are browned on the outside. Remove from the heat.

At this point the meatballs can be added to the tomato sauce. When I made this I placed the meatballs in the sauce for a couple of hours without cooking further as I wanted the flavours to permeate. When you are ready to cook, turn on the heat and cook for about 30 minutes on a low simmering heat.

When ready to serve sprinkle the meatballs with chopped coriander and grated lemon zest.

For the tomato sauce:
6 large tomatoes
2 jars or cartons passata
2 whole bulbs garlic crushed
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper to taste
3 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
zest of two lemons

0 Comments

 
Picture
serves 2
Ingredients:

1 tin of chickpeas
6 radishes, sliced thinly
1 kohlrabi, sliced and cut into longish strips (only use the bulb part of the kohlrabi) You could always use finely sliced cabbage instead.
80g sultanas, soaked in three tablespoons of hot water
handful of coriander finely chopped
for the dressing...
3 tablespoons of olive oil
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon of maple syrup

This is a quick and simple salad to prepare as there is no cooking involved. Once you have prepared the radish and kohlrabi, combine with the tin of chickpeas. Add the sultanas (minus the soaking water) and the coriander.
To make the dressing, simply whisk the oil, lime juice and maple syrup together until combined. Mix into the salad.
I would really like this salad with some barbecued chicken, sliced avocado and some peppery rocket.

Toasted buckwheat salad with roast sweet potato, celeriac and rocket

28/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
serves 2
Ingredients:
100g buckwheat
Half a celeriac, peeled and cut into cubes
1 sweet potato, washed and cut into cubes
150g rocket
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 cloves of garlic crushed
2 teaspoons smoked paprika


First of all in separate baking trays put the sweet potato and celeriac in the oven at 180 degrees and roast until tender and a bit charred.
Meanwhile in a dry frying pan toast the buckwheat for a few minutes, stir to make sure it does not burn, after it starts to get a bit of colour add a glug of oil and stir again, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Once the veg has cooled as well, combine the ingredients.
Then quickly make the dressing. Add all the ingredients for the dressing and either blitz with a stick blender or shake in a jam jar.
Pour over the the buckwheat and veg and mix.  You do not need to add all the dressing. Carefully add the rocket and gently toss.
This salad is best served as an accompaniment as the toasted buckwheat is quite hard work to eat if you have loads of it. So either have it with some other salads or with some delicious marinated grilled fish.
