Brown Butter Curried Cornbread (6)

Here’s another recipe from Ixta Belfrage’s ” Mezcla”. You can serve it as the main event, or it goes very well with her Roast Chicken Curry or Mole Short Ribs. You can use less of the chilli or just use a pinch of chilli flakes if you want a milder heat.Left overs can be reheated the next day- either pan fry or put in a 170 C Oven, 150 Fan and warm for about 10 minutes. Serve with plenty of butter on the side.

Oyster Mushroom Noodles (2)

A vegetarian noodle dish with Eastern European influences. Be patient when you are frying the onions- they need to be caramelised slowly so do not be tempted to rush them. My supermarket had no fresh egg noodles but they did have Lentil Protein Noodles and they worked well. Don’t be put of by the long list of ingredients- its quite easy to prepare. The recipe is from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage and is so good i will make it on repeat.

Pork Cooked in Milk (6)

Another easy recipe from ” River Cafe 30″ by Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray. I love the simplicity of many of their recipes – just a few ingredients and easy cooking methods. This could be served with some mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

Venison Steaks with Prune Sauce (2)

An easy and typical dish from Poland which I found in ” Polska” by Zuza Zak.In the cooler months she suggests serving with mashed potato and Beetroot Puree. In summer local asparagus and some new potatoes with dill.
