We made this sauce as an incidental side to some duck legs and the side trumped the main … so much so that the legs will not be reviewed but this sauce definitely will! The revelation for us is the baking of the apples whole which seems to add something special. Apple and blackberry sauce [...]

Lamb & Apricot Tagine
Posted in Food, Lamb, Uncategorized, tagged Apricots, Cooking, Food, Lamb, Nigel Slater, Recipe, Tagine, Tender on 18 August 2011 | 3 Comments »
Jono liked this so much he swears that if he’d been on his own he would have scoffed the lot! The combination of lamb shoulder, spices, apricots and preserved lemons give this dish such richly and multi-layered flavours that are all exceptionally well balanced and moreish. Make the most of fresh apricots while we can [...]
Veggie Feast – Nigel Slater’s Spiced Aubergine Stew
Posted in Food, Vegetarian, tagged Aubergine, Cooking, Nigel Slater, Recipe, Vegetarian on 7 June 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We cooked this for a veggie dinner party and it was really tasty. There’s a lot of stages involved so leave yourself plenty of time. We cooked it in the morning and reheated it on the hob while we steamed the rice and that worked well. You might want to ease up on the chilli [...]
Our last recipe for a short while

We’re moving house this week and next week we’re getting married so we don’t reckon there will be much cooking done. Don’t worry we’ll be back mid-May after eating lots of great food and drinking lots of wine in Tuscany. In the mean time enjoy this cause we did! Baked salmon with smoked pancetta – [...]

It’s another Irish Food Bloggers Association Cookalong and this time the theme is Irish. We were tempted to do an Irish stew but thought that was a bit obvious, we thought about beef and Guinness but that’s not all that original either and then to make things more difficult we invited a vegetarian for dinner. [...]
Creamy baked Brussels sprouts with stilton

Each time we see this recipe in Nigel Slater’s Tender Vol. 1 we salivate. We had almost forgotten about Brussels sprouts after having so many over Christmas. Just as well we caught them while still in season cause we definitely weren’t prepared to wait another year to try this. Stick a dish of these down [...]
Pork, Leeks and Green Peppercorns

Inspired by Nigel Slater … and because leeks are in season and we love leeks! We made this last night for Julie’s parents, and after a weekend up in Belfast; a success as it was creamy and flavoursome and had a great freshness from the peppercorns. So if you’d like to try for yourself: Turn [...]
