Possibly the best three-bean chilli in the world?

Three bean chilli

I need to point two important things out before I start: everybody does this differently.  This is just my way.  Yours may be better. The title of this post is obviously a provocative lie. I’ve no idea what ‘authentic’ is when it comes to this dish.  Hot? Mild? Beans? No beans?  No idea. This is [...]

Mangsho Jhol, or lamb and onion curry

With the temperature outside struggling to reach the heady heights of -2C, the heat and warmth of a good Indian curry has never felt more appropriate. Start with 800g to a kilo of cubed lamb or mutton, preferably off the bone, but if you can cope with the fiddliness of a few bones in your [...]

Very slow roasted shoulder of lamb with merguez spices

A shoulder of lamb is a hefty cut, but it’s cheap and it goes a long way. This method leaves the lamb falling apart, tender from the best part of a day in the oven. It’s very satisfying and relaxing to know that something great is happening in your oven at home whilst you’re out [...]

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's slow roasted pork belly with fennel and coriander

A pork belly gives a lot of bang for buck. It’s a cheap cut that benefits from simple, hands-off cooking.  A few herbs, some salt and pepper and a few hours in a low oven are all you need. First, the joint. A cut from the thick end of the belly weighing between 1 and [...]

Dealing with gluts - chutney

It happens to all courgette growers. Turn your back for a day or so and the small, delicate fruits transform into gigantic marrows.  They take over your plot, they take over your fridge.  You kid yourself that courgette soup is nice, then you realise it isn’t.  You throw them on the compost heap. Happens every [...]

Indian lamb kebabs

These skewers of lamb are perfect for the barbecue and make a good alternative to the normal barbecue standards of burnt sausages and undercooked chicken. They’re easy to make, and cook in just a few minutes.  It’s better if the lamb is cooked slightly pink. The flavourings here are most definitely Indian, a heady mix [...]

Thumbnail image for Bhuna Gosht, or lamb bhuna

‘Bhuna‘ is a particular Asian cooking style where a sauce is reduced and reduced until it is so thick that it just clings to the meat, making the meat appear ‘browned’.
