Mince Hot Pot

It’s getting to that time of year again!

The nights are getting darker, there’s a slight chill in the air, and you need a proper bowl of comfort food.

Introducing the hot pot! ❤️

Onions, garlic, carrots and peas combined with beef mince in a rich gravy, topped with thin slices of crispy potato 😍

Add a bit of tomato purée right before the beef stock to add extra depth which keeps you wanting more.

Now, this should of included a glass of red wine, and a dash of Worcester sauce, but I forgot 🤷‍♂️

Won’t forget the next time I make it though….

Leftover Chicken & Spinach Pasta

We’ve all been there. You have left over ingredients that need to be used your not sure what to make.

We had some left over chicken and spinach from the weekend and wanted a quick easy midweek recipe.

Using traditional combinations of chicken, cheese and Dijon mustard this really hit the spot!

Warming up the chicken in stock brought it back to life, and the addition of cream cheese rounded everything off to create a filling dish that you don’t really need think about.

It won’t set the world alight, and I would use slightly less stock when I make this again, but it hit the spot and saved a few pennies in the process.

The great thing about this dish is that you can substitute elements and still have great end results. Got some peas? Some leek that needs using? Chuck it in, you won’t be disappointed.

Perfect for the darker nights!

Pea & Bacon Orrecchiette

When you need that quick midweek pick me up 🫛

Fry your bacon 🥓 until nice and crispy, and then add your garlic for a couple of minutes.

Add your box standard frozen peas with a small amount of chilli flakes for colour and a little kick.

Once your pasta is al dente get that in there aswell as a small amount of the pasta water. Let the magic happen for a few minutes before finishing with off with some lemon juice to lift the who thing.

I added basil, but mint would also go super well!

Plate up and enjoy!

Cheeseburger

Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic.

I got a new toy for my birthday, so just had to give it a try. Seasoned mince with garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, shaped into the perfect patty and finished off with the classic American cheese 🧀

These were pretty classic seasonings, but you can go crazy with whatever you like!

Finished off with rocket salad, a slice of beef tomato 🍅 and a squirt of blue cheese ranch for extra indulgence.

Air fryer fries, because sometimes laziness rules supreme.

Super quick, and can be made quicker than your local take out dekivery!

Chicken Curry

Is there anything that a big bowl of chicken curry doesn’t make better?

Simple answer. No.

Thick cut pieces of chicken thigh fried in garlic and ginger, before going in with chilli flakes, cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon and tumeric. Go crazy, add whatever spices you like!

Simmer on a gentle heat in Passata, before adding butter and cream for richness and to round those flavours out 🤤

Go on, treat yourself, finish it off with a chicken skin crisp 🤌

This is a curry and doesn’t really know what it is, but it’s super tasty and quick, so we love it all the same ❤️

Bean & Chorizo Shaksuka

This may not be a looker, but it makes up for it in flavour 🤤

A warming bowl of Cannellini beans with fried chorizo and mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 and tomatoes🍅

Try to get the best quality beans you can as they do make the difference 🫘

What makes this a Shaksuka? The eggs! 🍳 Tedious link, I know, but crack them in with a few minutes to go, lower the heat, and wait for them to perfectly cook.

Add a bit of parsley to freshen things up, and then sit back and enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness.

Roast Chicken with Creamy Leek Sauce

This one is a banger.

When you fancy a bit of roast chicken, but not the heaviness of a full roast 🍗

Sliced leeks and garlic, sweated down with some chicken stock, and then finished with some cream. The key ingredient that elevates it though? Lemon. Add the rind just after after the cream, and then juice right and the end to lift this dish and give it freshness. Then go in withq. lemon juice right at the 🍋

Sauce on the bottom to save the crisp and because it looks fancy.

Steak Frites

Now, I wasn’t going to post this, as I know I’ve made better. But I said I would post the good AND the bad.

Although it doesn’t look as impressive as I intended: the sauce being a little too runny, the sear on the stake not quite there, it still tasted so good, and that’s what it’s really about.

A peppercorn sauce packed with wine, stock and a splash of whiskey really packs a punch. There’s a reason it’s a classic sauce for steak.

Need I say more?

Mushroom, Bacon & Blue Cheese Rissotto

Those who have been following me for a while will know that I’m a sucker for a rissotto, and when you havn’t made one for a while you need to go all out...

Crispy bacon, soft brown mushrooms and the depth of a creamy blue cheese ensures that every forkful leaves you wanting more.

Remember to remove the bacon from the pan to keep it crisp. You also want a soft blue cheese to help with the emulsion process - I always go for a st. Agur.

Low and slow is the way to go for a perfect rissotto, and you have to put a lid on it and let it rest before serving, regardless of how tempting it is 🤤

Spaghetti Ala Norma

Slices of roasted aubergine in a rich tomato sauce, served with spaghetti 🍆 🤤

Whilst your aubergine is roasting, slow fry garlic (I will admit, my heat was a bit too high on this occasion) and a tin of plum tomatoes. Let this reduced, and don’t forget to add a few sprigs of thyme.

You should also add fresh chilli to the garlic, but I only had dried chilli flakes 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🌶️

Add a small amount of Parmesan before introducing the spaghetti and a small amount of pasta water and let that sauce get nice and sticky with the pasta.

Finish with fresh basil, plate up, and enjoy! 🌿

Orzo & Tomatoes

You can not get any simpler than this guys.

Sliced cherry tomatoes roasted with orzo, stock and plenty of garlic, plus a cheeky bay leaf or two 🍅

You want a 2:1 ration of stock to water. I used vegetable, but it also works well with chicken 🐔

Yes, you can add more: some red onion, maybe some peas, a few different herbs. You could use fresh homemade stock. Maybe different tomatoes. But, for a simple, fresh and quick dish you will be hard beat to find something better.
