A very good vegetarian chilli using tinned beans from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. The basic recipe can also be used to make a couple of variations- chilli baked under a blanket or cornbread or roasted in peppers with cheese and sour cream. Claire is bringing out a new recipe book on one pot bean dishes which will be published in Febuary 2025. I cant wait and have already preordered the book.
I love foraging for wild garlic on my local walks and am always looking for new ways to use it. This green and cheesy pasta from Thomasina Miers is also a great way to use up odds and ends of different cheeses- the more variety the better. If you like crisp pancetta or melted anchovies can be added to the sauce. If wild garlic is hard to find then bulb garlic can be used instead and wilted spinach or kale added for colour.
A comforting Vegetarian supper from ” Cook as You Are” by Ruby Tandoh. Serve with some steamed rice, tortillas or jacket potatoes, along with a dollop of soured cream or yoghurt.
A lovely recipe for new season lamb from ” Sea & Shore” by Emily Scott. Serve with some purple sprouting or tenderstem broccoli and accompany with some redcurrant jelly or mint sauce.
A recipe from Stephen Harris, chef/ owner of the Sportsman pub in Seasalter. The list of ingredients is long but do not be deterred- it is well worth it. You could serve some spicy baked beans as an alternative to coleslaw in the cooler months.
A delicious recipe from Nigel Slater. You can replace the kefir with buttermilk if you prefer. Leftovers are very good cold too. If you can, start preparing the day before and let the chicken marinade overnight.
