  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder

sage onion yorkshire puddings

Sage & onion Yorkshire puddings

Cut the onions into thin wedges, keeping the root intact so they hold together, to make about 12-16 thin wedges. 

Whisk the eggs and flour in a large bowl to make a smooth paste, then whisk in the milk to make a smooth batter. Season, then stir in the sage. Leave to rest for 10 mins at room temperature. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs (bring up to room temperature before using). Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8.

Pour a drizzle of oil evenly into 10 holes of a 12-hole muffin tin, or in all of two four-hole Yorkshire pudding tins to coat the bases. Add a wedge of onion to each hole and put in the oven for 10 mins to heat up.

Transfer the batter to a jug, carefully remove the tins from the oven and pour the batter over the onions, dividing it evenly between the holes. The batter should sizzle as soon as it hits the oil. Put back in the oven and turn the temperature down to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for 15 mins until golden and risen. Don’t open the door until the time is up, or they may sink.

Chilli & orange salmon with watercress new potatoes & wasabi mayo

Chilli & orange salmon with watercress new potatoes & wasabi mayo

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk most of the orange zest and all the juice, chilli, sesame oil and garlic in a small bowl, then season. Line a baking tray with foil, scatter over the fennel and tuck in most of the orange slices. Add the salmon on top, skin-side down, pour over the sauce, and top with the rest of the orange slices. Cook in the middle of the oven for 20 mins or until flaky and cooked through.

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until tender. Drain and tip back into the pan. Add most of the watercress and the olive oil, toss everything together with some seasoning and leave for a few mins for the watercress to wilt.

Whisk together the mayo, wasabi and remaining orange zest. Serve with the salmon and potatoes, and scatter over the remaining watercress to serve

posh egg and chips

Posh egg, chips & beans

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin and toss with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Bake for 45 mins-1 hr until crisp and golden, tossing them again halfway through.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 10-15 mins until starting to soften, then add the paprika, thyme, chopped tomatoes and beans (including the liquid from the can) and stir well. Simmer for 15 mins, or until thickened, then discard the thyme sprig.

Fry or poach the eggs. Serve alongside the wedges and beans and garnish with the parsley.

smoked haddock with fried potatoes

Smoked haddock & hollandaise bake with dill & caper fried potatoes

Put the potatoes in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and cook for 7-8 mins until a knife easily pierces them but they still hold their shape. Drain and leave to steam dry. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a frying pan, and when the butter is sizzling, add the shallots. Fry until soft, about 5 mins, then add the potatoes and fry for about 15 mins until crispy on all sides.

While the potatoes are cooking, make the hollandaise. Whisk the yolks and cornflour together until smooth. Add the cream and vinegar, and season well. Pour into a small pan, heat very gently, whisking constantly, until the consistency of custard. If the sauce looks like it’s splitting, curdling, or getting too hot, add a splash more cream and whisk vigorously – it should become smooth again. Check the seasoning, adding a little more salt or vinegar if it needs it.

Heat the grill to medium-high. Heat a drizzle more oil in another small, ovenproof frying pan. Add the spinach, season and cook until just wilted. Spread the spinach across the pan and place the haddock fillets on top. Spoon over the hollandaise to cover each fillet. Grill for 10 mins until the fish is flaking and the sauce is browning in patches.

Scatter the potatoes with the capers, dill and lemon zest. Serve alongside the fish with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
