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.
I recently visited the north of Italy where i returned to the same restaurant in Stresa on Lake Maggiore three times . Their seasonal special, home made sausages with chestnuts and polenta, was so tasty I had it twice. I haven’t been able to find a recipe for that dish, but this dish from ” Rick Stein’s Food Heroes” is a good second best. If you cannot get hold of Luganega sausages in your local Italian deli then any Italian sausages flavoured with garlic and fennel will do.
Another recipe from Claire Thomson’s ” Home Cookery Year” which was so good i cooked the same again for myself the next day. The Pommes Anna would go with other recipes too, and this is an easy way to make them in the oven rather than on the hob.
The picture says it all. Decadent comfort food from Claire Thomson’s “New Kitchen Basics”. Sometimes you just have to forget about the calories. To be honest it was tough not to eat it all between two of us in one sitting but we managed to restrain ourselves and save half for the next day.
