FabSwingers.com forum: Recommend a recipe

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

As a big fan of eating and cooking, I’m always perusing my recipe books, swapping ideas and planning meals to share with nearest and dearest, with which to entertain for dinner soirées, or to curl up and nom all to myself.

So recommend me a recipe - post a reference to a chef’s version of something, or jot a synopsis of something you make. If possible, let’s refrain from large copy/paste of entire recipes - if there’s one that piques your interest you can ask for a PM or google it from source.

What yums can you tell me about?

Autumn is blowing in now. So I recommend parkin, I'll look at home for my grandad's recipe, somehow he got it just that bit more gingery and sticky without it ruining.

Yotam Ottolenghi's shakshuka recipe - it's not as time consuming and convoluted as some of his recipes and is absolutely lush.

Felicity Cloake's "How to cook the perfect... Tartiflette" is absolutely delicious as well! I've adapted both of their recipes over the years with additions/different cheeses etc but they are great as are.

If you like Vegi food but also appreciate bulk, ie 'meatiness', try this pasta sauce.

Onion, garlic, Chestnut mushrooms, a pepper, tinned tomatoes and puree, kidney beans and chick peas, basil and oregano.

The combination of chick peas and kidney beans gives it a meaty volume for those who don't like thin pasta sauces. You can flavour it to your own preference, spice it up with a touch of chilli or jerk if you prefer. It will give you plenty to freeze too.

Craggy Island

One pot chorizo and pepper spaghetti

Preparation time

less than 30 mins

Cooking time

10 to 30 mins

Serves

Serves 6

Ingredients

150g/5½oz chorizo, roughly chopped

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

4 peppers (mixture of red and yellow), halved, deseeded and roughly chopped

160g/5½oz button mushrooms, halved

400g tin chopped tomatoes

3 tbsp tomato purée

1 tsp dried red chilli flakes

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

450g/1lb spaghetti, broken in half

1 litre/1¾ pints boiling water

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large handful basil leaves, roughly chopped

30g/1oz Parmesan, freshly grated

Method

Heat a large, deep-sided casserole or frying pan over a high heat, add the chorizo and cook for 2–3 minutes.

Add the garlic, peppers and button mushrooms and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, chilli flakes and red wine vinegar. Stir in the spaghetti, pour in the boiling water and stir well.

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. Stir the mixture occasionally to make sure that the pasta is under the liquid and not sticking together.

Stir in three quarters of the basil and plenty of black pepper

Serve with the Parmesan and remaining basil.

One of my favourite recipes

I'm a big fan of dhal at the moment too. My favourite being sweet potato and spinach.

Also sumac baked chickpeas with cinnamon. Lush. Great alternative to you're usual snacks. Drain chickpeas, coat with olive oil, sumac and cinnamon and bake for 20 mins or so.

I'm also loving fennel. I used to make my kids fennel tea when they were younger and it evokes memories. I need fennel recipes.

Her is a private chef, so everything is amazing, rarely anything is just a straight recipe - always has her twist. Favourites? Too many! The sandwiches made in a hollowed out loaf were amazing as is her pan fried reindeer ( she demo'd that at a well known home exhibition one year).

Me? Roast beef was the first thing I cooked for her (I am the King of Roasties!), but recipe wise, sesame seared tuna from Jamie's 5 ingredients is ridiculously easy and tasty, and looks like restaurant food. Old fashioned I know, but Jamie and Deliah do tend to be Hmm-proof.

I also do a mean pad see ew
