Penne, runner beans & goat’s cheese
This is such a quick, easy and very tasty dinner. A perfect summer supper ☀️ Use wholewheat pasta for an even healthier and cleaner meal 🙂
Elderflower cordial
If you are going to forage and make one thing this summer, then let this be it! It is sooo easy and soooo delicious, it is well worth it. The flower heads are best picked when some of the buds are still to open, and it must be dry, never pick on a wet day as yeast begins to develop. Also, try not to pick from the roadside due to pollution, fumes etc.
This makes an absolutely delicious cordial and mixer and also is perfect drizzled over some natural yoghurt as a dessert. You can store the cordial in a fridge / cool dark place for a couple of weeks, or freeze asap.
Mulled pickled spring onions
You can also do this with radishes. It goes really well with rich meats, perfect for christmas meals, or Sunday lunches! Best made a week in advance to develop the flavour. They will keep, unopened, in the fridge for a couple of months. Once opened, you can keep in the fridge, for a week or two.
Slow-roasted marmalade pork
This is a great dish to serve to guests as it looks amazing, but takes less than 5 mins to get oven ready. The meat is also delicious the next day in sandwiches or a salad.
Perfect served with some jacket potatoes, coleslaw and salad.
Venison and chorizo casserole
This is such a delicious, warming casserole, you can easily make it into a pie, using puff pastry too. Just line a pie dish with butter, then roll out the pastry, keeping some to top the dish. Line the dish with about two thirds of the party, and fill with the casserole, top with the remaining rolled out pastry, seal the edges and prick carefully. Brush with egg and bake in the oven at 200c for about 20 minutes.
