Briam
Absolutely delicious both hot and at room temperature. Crumble some feta over to make it a more substantial meal. Do use good quality olive oil. Oven 190 degrees. Grab a large roasting tin and layer the vegetables in this order:
Peel and thickly slice a couple of potatoes (I used just one big sweet potato). 1 large onion, sliced. A couple of aubergines, courgettes, red and green pepper, about 6 ripe vine tomatoes all thickly sliced. Lots of chopped parsley, some salt and freshly ground ...

Aubergine, Tomato & Sweet Potato Curry

Happy with the result, it's fiery; creamy and packed with delicious ...
Very slowly cooked Beef Cheeks with Sweet Potato Fondant and Spiced Red Cabbage
A truly underrated, inexpensive cut of meat that becomes as soft as butter if treated respectfully. Unfortunately it's becoming a bit "cheffy", that said remembering that days of cheap shanks before they became the must have gastropub food and the price was soon reflected. Oh dear, popularity is a crime to the wallet! Portion size should be 250g per person, in my opinion it's way too much. This will serve us twice.
You can't usually just wander into a butcher, and certainly not ...
